Clemson doesn't look like they give a poo either and just gave up a 100 yard TD kick return. Kentucky leads 21-10

If it's not a playoff game or a historically awful team getting a bowl for the first time in ages the P5 teams just don't care. I haven't even been watching these games other than the UNC game and bailed out of that one with about 12 minutes to go.

I can't imagine Bowl Games make much money at all for anyone but the schools. So I don't know why they still do them. Decades ago there were a little over a dozen games. Now there are like 45. The TV ratings aren't big at all. The ticket sales are low. The game will NOT help the location city's economy. The kids do NOT care about going anywhere other than Hawaii or maybe LA/NYC. The thought that it gives coaches more time to evaluate players or for players to get early reps for next season is stupid.

At least with 12 teams next year for the Playoffs you can use some of the bowls for the tournament's 13 games. But yeah ... Bowl Games are pointless. Though some have been great this year oddly enough. I only watch due to betting, but yeah like I said ... some have been very good.

Eventually the system has to die. Advertisers and naming sponsors have to be getting completely abysmal ROI.

These bowl games obviously generate TV money; revenue for the schools and help local economies but come on…these games are terrible and nobody on earth gives a crap about Memphis vs Arkansas, UNC vs WVU etc 

 

and like I’ve said, getting mad at these kids who elect to not play is such a boomer, selfish mentality.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I'm less concerned about Young getting hurt while rushing, because like you said, he doesn't take a ton of risks when he scrambles.  I'm far more concerned that at his size, a crushing sack by a big DL might snap his body in half. But this topic is exactly why I'm not very high on Jayden Daniels long term outlook unless he drastically changes the way he plays.  He basically looked like RG3 pt 2 out there last year, he runs with reckless abandon and doesn't protect himself from hits very well.  If he keeps that up, he won't have a long career and/or he's going to miss significant chunks of time every season due to picking up injuries.

      I think the "Top 10" classification is much more simple than people think, at least for me. Put every QB in the league into a re-draft of only QB's, does this player go in the Top 10 of that draft or not? If they do, they're a Top 10 QB, if they don't, they're not. And yes, things like age/contract would matter in a real QB draft, but in this instance things like that or future injury concern are thrown aside, essentially looking at it on a year to year type of thing as you're talking about a current Top 10 list.

      Probably so but don't know if it's Smith or Nikishin getting the bump to a pairing though. They both skated on the fourth pair.
