Quoted: Bama vs Cinci prediction: Q1 - Cinci comes out on fire, slinging the ball and keying in on well timed QB runs, risky game plan but enough practice time under their belt to execute the first 2 drives flawlessly. Bama doesn't push a crazy game plan, but there will be one magical QB play that reminds us we are watching a Heisman winner lead the returning National Champs. Cinci 14 Bama 7 Q2 - Bama has adjusted on both sides of the ball. Superior depth on the defensive side means they aren't winded at all, and a lack of depth for Cinci means some of that "pop" is gone and they look a half a step slower. Also, we are in the part of the game where adjusting via coaching changes and execution changes make Bama look good on D. Bama O-Line starts getting a handle on things and we watch a rather boring 2nd quarter. Cinci 14 Bama 14 Q3 - Bama does bama things and adjustments are on point. Cinci comes out and gets caught off guard. Mostly a repeat of Q2 but depth on both teams start showing and we see Bama get some explosive plays. Cinci 14 Bama 21 Q4 - Cinci starts slinging again in desperation, but the Bama depth is too much to overcome. Bama opens up wounds everywhere. Cinci has moments of glory and probably get a score on a shocker play. But Bama does Bama things rotating skill players out and executing at a level G5 teams rarely see a team execute in Q1 but never get to experience in Q4.

NCAA doesn’t recognize forfeits for bowl games unless game officials declare it once the officials have jurisdiction over the game. Officials have jurisdiction over the game beginning 90 minutes before the scheduled kickoff. If the game is canceled before that point, it is considered a no contest. |

Those need to be rescheduled and played. Covid has affected enough stuff in our lives, our country and the world. We need some normalcy brought back and if rescheduling a few games helps with that then it needs to happen. The decision that a national champion might be crowned due to forfeits was made way too quickly for my liking. Reminiscent of this cancel culture that has become so prevalent in todays society and this “brave” new world we are living in. |

First, bowls are an invitational. You can decline an invitation to a bowl and many teams have in the past. Did anyone ever get a forefit previously? No...then why are we even having this conversation?
Second, the bowls and the league (SEC) are equally to blame here. The league could change playing parameters. Do we force players to sit out if they had the Flu in the prior 10d? No? And the Bowl can change the date/time too....they don't want to? Oh. So since the league and the bowl are inflexible we are expecting teams to adhere to this and take a loss on their record, and kill recruiting, because the team literally doesn't have a single Offensive Lineman eligible to play because they all tested positive for COVID within 10d of the bowl game? What kind of logic are we really using here in this conversation? |

View Quote Declining a bowl invitation is one thing but declining to play the game after accepting the invite is another thing, entirely. Players and now teams opting out of games hasn't been a common thing, until recently, but it looks to be starting a disturbing trend. Just having a discussion, though. I can certainly see both sides of the coin as it won't surprise me if Oregon pulls out of their game with OU, at the last minute. The china flu has hit them pretty hard, too. |

Well we pulled it out and Clemson got another 10 win season. Thankfully Elliott is gone and we have a new 5 star QB coming in next month that will hopefully play better than DJ.

Interesting -
Oregon DB grabs face mask and pulls off helmet of OU WR after a catch, with a WR having a clear shot to end zone WR goes to end zone, but by rule, the play is called back to spot of foul and 15 yard Face mask penalty added on. DB gets penalized for face mask. Puts the ball on the 20. OU QB picks up 1st and goal 2 plays later, but OU OL gets holding penalty. Moving ball back to 20 OU fails to convert and has to settle for FG. Therefore, the Oregon face mask penalty saved them a sure TD. |

So why didn't Riley finish out the season at OK? Did he quit or they tell him to fuck off?

Article about bowl game viewerships, optouts etc.
Most interesting comment: “ESPN makes more money in the two weeks of bowl season than they do any other time of year." Never would have suspected that. Can you imagine how much they would make in an expanded playoff. And they have to know this. https://www.sportingnews.com/us/ncaa-football/news/peach-bowl-opt-outs-bowl-experience/14abvrlz3y7341n92043ivzjaq |
