I confess that I watch, or at least pay some attention to, most of the bowl games.

These opt-out bowls need to disappear. Teams show up unmotivated, missing a bunch of starters and play uninspired. Georgia slopped around until the fourth quarter before they started to play like they meant it. Florida did not even show up and did it ever look like it on the field.

The most entertaining game was Missy St and Tulsa. The brawl at the end was classic.

The most outclassed team was Clemson. Their defense looked to be in total disarray, out of position, guys not covered, a total disaster.

ACC has really looked bad in these games, big 12 on the other hand has looked very good.

Are you specifically referencing our offense? You dont think Cincinatti had anything to do with that?

Which ones? The lower tier with G5 teams playing each other don't interest me much but people still watch and thats all ESPN cares about...its nothing more than programming for an.

Lots of entertaining games including ours,
OM vs Indy,A&M vs UNC,UK vs NC State and WVU vs Army along with the MSU game.

Disagree.Granted,there was some confusion on our part on both sides of the ball due to lineup shuffles but we didn't lack for effort and will to win...unlike Texas 2 years ago.

Also have to give some credit to Cincinnati and their defense.This was the biggest game in the history of their program.

I forgot but the Liberty/Coastal game was a really entertaining game. Same for Ole Miss/Indiana. Ole Miss ought to spend all spring practice, if we have one, working on tackling skills. NC St and Kentucky was about answering the question - who is the most inept?

Absolutely agree with this. We had some terrific individual efforts out there including Nakobe Dean, Washington and Pickens.

Our OLine looked really, really bad, but as someone in another thread pointed out we had guys playing in positions they had rarely played in during the year. I am guessing the coaches were wanting to get a look at how it looked heading into next year.

Cincinnati played inspired football and, as the announcers stated (and I agreed) this was a HUGE game for them. And, with us missing 11 players (I am counting LeCount, because I THINK he only played the last play of the game?) I thought we did a pretty good job. A team that was disinterested would not have come back and won that game.

ETA
I would also throw in that the SEC had some really bad matchups in the bowl games. I think we had three teams (Kentucky, Ole Miss and Mississippi State) that were unranked and playing ranked teams. Special kudos to Ole Miss for being unranked and beating a #11 ranked team in their bowl. And less anybody forget....Cincy was ranked higher than we were.
