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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
