Message: [QUOTE="KryHavok, post: 5075759, member: 12905"] Maybe not blame, but they are rightly criticized. When UCF went undefeated and wasn't invited for the playoffs, they still showed up for their bowl game to prove that yes, even under duress of being looked over, they had the mental and physical toughness to beat their opponent whoever it was (besting a fairly competent Auburn team in the process). If only bowl playoff games have any meaning, then why bother playing all these other bowls? I grew up loving these bowls from mid-December to early Jan, so I'd like to see teams happy to be playing in one. I get not wanting to get injured prior to the draft, but come on, how many of these opt-out players would have been seriously injured to the extent that their lottery number would fall? Totally agree that they got shafted so that King Saban could be given the red carpet. [/QUOTE]
