Yep, and bowl games don’t mean anything anymore especially when the best players are opting out. Hard to brag about beating a team without their best players. But I still enjoy regular season then switch to basketball.

I think if you have a good enough coach and culture surrounding your program then bowl games 100% still matter. They are multiple extra practices and reps for new players and young players. If you can have the players buy in even when it’s not the grand prize I truly think it catapults you into the next season.

The problem today is for every 1 program you have that will play hard in the Outback Bowl and the next year catapult into the Sugar Bowl you have 10 programs with a bunch of entitled little shits and 0 team culture that don’t even show up to play. And that’s on the coach and the society we’re in.
