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.

    • I fully expect them to pick up his 5th year , and they're waiting for him to put a full excellent consistent season of QB play in year 4 or 5. If that don't happen,  they'll eventually cut ties.  Here's to hoping he just goes on a team in 2026. The worst thing he could do is continue to see-saw us to around .500 records because it might be impossible to replace him at that point unless youre willing to do the veteran qb carousel poo we did from 2019 to 2023.   
    • What do you think of Bryce Youngs career thus far? Are you excited about his progress or is it not enough for you? I included a poll of ranking his performance through 3 years thus far.  I personally think he's made some decent progress. Has had some high moments (last half of 2024, Rams game, ATL game in 2025)  but in my mind, those are still outweighed by the many more lowlights thus far (ex turnovers, missed throws, poor decisions)  It's a very mixed bag for me. He's done enough to get a 5th year option but by no means should we lock him in with a 50+ mil a year multi year deal. I want to see him play consistently well for a full year before that happens (yes, I'm still saying that going into year 4. That might be telling).  Just sucks when you see CJ Stroud, Jayden Daniel's, Caleb Williams almost immediately lighting poo up with their arm talent. Maybe Bryce is just an ultra slow burn. I don't know what to think anymore. Guess we're gonna be stuck with him for a whilr unless we end up being bad enough to earn a high pick next year. I doubted it lol. Overall Stats for his career:       ● 14 W - 30L (regular season)       ● 0-1 playoffs record        ● 61.4% completion, 8291 passing yards, 49 TDs, 30 INTs  Year 1:       ● 2 wins, 14 losses      ● 60% completion rate, 2877 passing yards, 11 TD to 10 INTs, 5.5 yards per attempted pass Year 2:        ● 4 wins , 8 losses        ● 60.9% completion rate,  2403 passing yards, 15 TD, 9 INTs,  6.3 yards per attempted pass  Year 3:        ● 8 Wins, 8 Losses         ● 63.6% competition rate, 3011 passing yards, 23 TDs to 11 INTs  Playoffs         ● 1 game in year 3 ( 0 - 1 in playoffs)         ● 21/40 (52.5% completion rate), 264 passing yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.
