I turned it on for a few plays. It just seemed so slow and lesser skilled that it was kind of unwatchable coming over from UGA game.Meanwhile Wyoming just won the most boring bowl game yet
No and I didn’t watch much of the AZ bowl either. CW commentators were dreadfuldid you see the Sugar bowl?
YepEveryone knew @hawg1 would fan the flames again once the Orange Bowl started.
Only the NFL can fix it and they won’t as it doesn’t benefit the NFL to fix it.Kirby is one of a handful of guys in the sport who is influential enough to enact change in how college football operates, but nothing will change

NFL can flex and influence college players to play in their bowl games, make sure that opting out hurts their draft grades. But that isn’t to the benefit of the NFL as a player risks injury in what is essentially a scrimmage. Injured players do not help NFL teams.Elaborate
I’m not even really watching this ****. Man I used to love bowl season.These non playoff bowl games completely lack excitement or juice. It’s sad that CFP ruined bowl season but is what it is. So happy next year will have first round games played on campus and all top matchups being meaningful
Shut up Kirby. No one cares. People like you be and all the other money grubbers made college football what it is.Kirby is one of a handful of guys in the sport who is influential enough to enact change in how college football operates, but nothing will change
There is no way in hell that would ever work. The NFL tells players that it hurts their draft grades? Ok so Scout A is going to knock Caleb Williams down because he didn't play in the bowl game and then what? The Bears or Commanders are going to skip Caleb Williams now? l don't believe the scout would even knock his grade and I definitely know that teams wouldn't change their picks because of it.NFL can flex and influence college players to play in their bowl games, make sure that opting out hurts their draft grades.

There is no NFL team that is going to pass on a player and take one that would have been rated lower because the guy didn't play in a bowl or the playoff.There is no way in hell that would ever work.

Draft optouts will always be a thing, and I have no issue with Caleb Williams not playing in the Holiday Bowl for example.There is no way in hell that would ever work.

The problem is the early signing period being for portal players. Having a bigger CFP will help, but we don't get games like the Orange Bowl today if you make the early signing day for high school only or get rid of it altogether. I would re-open the portal in early January......like say between the CFP quarters/semis.
Gotta love academics being used selectively in college sports.See my above post - unfeasible due to getting them in for the spring semester.
The portal forced numerous decisions (see UT QB). Change the date. A union and a collectively bargained contract has to happen soon to fix the many ills of the game, still ever popular. The frustration level is pretty high among some that can actually make a difference in these matters. Maybe they enact change.Draft optouts will always be a thing, and I have no issue with Caleb Williams not playing in the Holiday Bowl for example.

You're not getting academic staff to make their winter break chaotic to do an accelerated transfer approval process condensed into Jan 2nd through the 10th or whatever it would be.Gotta love academics being used selectively in college sports.
Like let's have kids playing games on the other side of the country.....but we can't work around an issue like this with the portal? For ****s sake.
You don't need the entire admissions staff, just enough to handle football. We have professors and other university staff who pick up instruction of a winter break academic course (similar to Maymester). It's do-able.You're not getting academic staff to make their winter break chaotic to do an accelerated transfer approval process condensed into Jan 2nd through the 10th or whatever it would be.
Maybe transfers just need to not be available for spring ball? Creates a little more incentive to stay with a program, gives players and coaches time to do a proper evaluation of roster evolution and who fits in where.
We need a governing body in this sport for so many reasons.You're not getting academic staff to make their winter break chaotic to do an accelerated transfer approval process condensed into Jan 2nd through the 10th or whatever it would be.
