Yeah, these guys probably clear out and are no longer around the team during bowl prep and what not. Suppose you could work something out if there were depth concerns for the game itself but as you said most of these guys are fringe guys who weren't in the mix anyway.
Can't really knock a team out of CFP for losing in conference championship game and with the way the SEC is A&M, Bama, Ole Miss, Georgia, and Oklahoma have been viewed as locks heading into today. OSU, IND, Oregon were locks from the Big 10. Texas Tech was a lock from the Big 12 and will now...
It is a play in scenario for Big 12 and ACC.
But yeah, SEC and Big 10 championship games are just for bragging rights. That said, there may be a first round bye on the line in the SEC game, I think Indiana and Ohio State get one regardless.
Yep....nothing to stop them from making their intentions known even if the portal is not officially open.
I wonder if these players will go on the bowl trip.
100%.....way harder to buy your way to a title in football, not impossible, but harder. The number of players plus injuries makes it really difficult.
Different story in basketball. Some rich dude could definitely come in and try to buy a dream team. Still have to get the right players...
I would have liked to see Mitchell with this current roster. He is one that definitely got better last year as the season went on.
But looks like he found a great landing spot for his skill set.
