Could definitely be more than 1 losing.  Ohio State would be my pick Tennessee defense is amazing 

Too much meh-ness this year.  Generally the top teams are so good they can survive a bad day even if lesser teams have a good day.  I don’t think these teams can.

This. The top two or three teams are usually just head and shoulders above the rest of the pack. This year that's just not the case.

I don't forsee South Carolina getting up for this one. I anticipate sleep walking through it like the game vs Virginia at the bank a few years ago. Such a boring match up. 

Are you talking about a non-playoff bowl game? Yeah, no one is getting up for them and all the draft bound guys will sit it out. The bowl system needs to be at least cut on half. Being bowl eligible used to really mean something. Now it just means you suck HARD if you're not.

Regular bowl games were meh when it was a 4 team playoff.  They are just painfully bad in a 12 team college playoff format.  I mean, why play any high value player.  Sellers blows a knee for what?  

What is there to brag about at this point winning a non-CFP game.  It can’t be used for recruiting.   It highlights you couldn’t make a 12 team format and then it’s an exhibition with who knows who playing on either side. 

I think more and more high caliber kids that are basically pros at this point….start treating them like the Pro Bowl.  As in nah, I ain’t risking injury.

I think if Illinois would have drawn Ole Miss and SC would have drawn Miami it would have been better. 

 

Kiffin and Illinois HC been talking poo to each other and Miami been talking poo about SEC defenses being weak.

I very seriously Ward plays in a non-playoff bowl and Miami's defense without Ward piling up points? They might be a top 40 team.

SC is a rough bowl draw given that they have a stud QB who will play since he's not draft eligible.

Them Drawing the Citrus which is by invitation means they believed SC was the best remaining SEC team unlike the committee. 

 

iirc Sankey picks the rest.

Evidently the Heels has a second meeting with Belichick late last week. Good lord, this might actually happen.

Well, at least as a Panthers/Heels fan I am VERY much accustomed to hoping for the best while fully expecting the worst. LOL

I wish you well installing the Patriot way in Chapel Hill.  That just screams the reverse of what we know wouldn’t work at the pro level

they would be well coached.  I mean whoever is willing to put up with Bill would be.

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
