Including wins over SEC, ACC, and B12 P4 opponent despite losing SMU, Cincinnati, Houston,and UCF over the past two years…how embarrassing.

You mean teams that are stable and senior laden are beating teams with limited rosters and youngsters playing? Say it at so.

More like teams with little to no NIL $$$ are beating teams spending $17-22M per year on their rosters.

If you use your brain and think really really hard you just might be able to figure out why this is the case for bowl games in 2024.

Love how SEC homers straddle both sides of the “Bowls don’t matter” debate” depending on how well the SEC fares in their collective Bowl games…I guess it “just means more” to the AAC…how embarrassing.

You seem to have a lot to be embarrassed about

I hope your team doesn’t choke against ASU…lots of holes in the defense.

I would also add teams that can not use the transfer portal are beating teams that spend millions and use the portal to plug holes in their rosters.

Name all the games that has happened in. It’s very few and most of the teams who lost had limited rosters and played lots of inexperience young players vs team who had intact, experienced rosters playing. Name the games. Give me all the games a non/low NIL beat and high NIL paying team.

One thing we have learned this season is that excuses just mean more in the SEC.

Navy - check. The rest pay NIL close to what the other school pays. Memphis is in top 50. BYU pays it. ECU pays it. Toledo is right there with Pitt. UCONN brought in 27 transfers last year. LOL So out of 30 games you find 1 anomaly and it is a service academy? LOL Navy has been good all year. No surprise they won.

Name them? Navy? Who else? LOL. SEC is 4-3 with 1 unexpected lose TAM. Tennessee was supposed to lose and so was Oklahoma. Who else? You’re just a troll. You put 13 teams in bowl games and some will lose. Surprise, surprise. The Big 10 is 4-2 with a guarantee of 2 more losses as only 1 team in playoffs can win it. LOL

Dammit. Just when we had gotten rid of Jim Sweet, ACCFan, UCFSadKnight, and Serreneaux, a Navy alter appears.
