It doesn't happen because of the chance to win the natty.  Only fringe roster guys will transfer when the portal window opens but it’s like players that aren't playing anyways.  CFP disincentivized the Bowl games, no matter how you rotate them into the playoff format if they aren't a playoff game they are virtually worthless. Players will opt out/transfer etc etc and not think twice about it.

Yeah there’s more to it, we’re talking about first round picks.

It's because they're Georgia and Alabama. SEC has fug all to do with it. The rest of the SEC just rides their coattails to claim superiority by proxy.

The SEC has to play those guys and the games are much more competitive at the end of the day. They at least belong in the same conference as those 2 powerhouses.

Outside of the conference elite the rest of the SEC is just run of the mill P5 football teams. 

I don't buy their argument of "We get our asses kicked by those guys every year and that makes us better than you by association! We've lost to Alabama for 17 straight years so take that!" GTFO. They don't fair much better in our of conference play against other P5 competition. They're just not that good.

Yeah because Stetson Bennett is a future HOFer

Doesn't matter what he is in the NFL. He was a damn good college QB. Travis from FSU doesn't project well to the NFL either but he was a damn good college QB too. Not every good college player projects well to the NFL. It doesn't make them any less of a college player.

Regular season matchup are far more relevant than non-playoff bowl game matchups with the opt-outs. It is what it is. The bowls are dead.

I've watch 0 bowl games outside of the playoffs for probably the last 5 years. Fans don't go to them either. Wasn't the mayo bowl mostly empty when unc got boat raced?

Yup it's a season long race to the CFP.. Once your team is on the outside looking in it's time to prepare for your future. If you are draft eligible, come along for the gifts and media time and ride the pine and leave your draft stock and health intact.

    • The deep ball or at least the threat thereof is an absolutely essential component of success in today's NFL, and not the '20 air yard' nonsense that the NFL likes to push. Teams have to account for the field-flipping, immediate TD play or else they just sit on things. We've seen it for years now. And with respect to Brees, the latter half of his career has him as the ultimate short-game QB... and it still wasn't enough to overcome the best competition when it counted most. When that element went missing towards the second half of the 2010s they were still a deadly team when they had superior defense, but they ultimately fell to the best defenses.
    • Dude.. that sounds so sad. 
    • Bryce either finds a deep ball this year or he doesn’t.  His success hinges on that entirely. is there a successful QB currently playing that doesn’t have an accurate deep throw? there are only so many underneath plays in a playbook. if that’s all bro can do, expect a pick 6 record. Defenses are too fast and smart. A devastating run game is going to 1000% have to be the thing that keeps defense honest if Bryce’s deep ball doesn’t improve. The importance of that one attribute can not be overlooked.  I so wish people would stop insulting Brees, a top 10 first ballot HOF’er with these stupid Bryce comparisons. Brees could drop a 40 yd DIME on a rollout or from shotgun.    I want the Panthers to win. I don’t care who pilots the ship. I don’t really care about any of the individual pieces.
