Bowls are in theory supposed to put evenly matched teams against each other.

What this tells me is that in part, for the teams that have made bowl games, this is a list of overrated teams over that time span.

Shoe totally fits for yewtah and PAC.

Schools without a bowl win in 5 years. Nearly half of P12 is on the list.

With the transfer portal, opt outs, coaching changes, etc., bowls have different

Ute fans, simultaneously arguing the Rose Bowl matters and that bowl games don’t matter.

I would love the Rose Bowl trophy. But we got beat by better teams

Medute

One could argue that Utah was only there due to injuries to other players

Success in football often requires quite a bit of luck

The excuse store called.

They issued a massive product recall. All their excuses have come up lame.

What does it matter. You're their number 1 best seller.

You were behind with your best offensive player

BYU '80

1/27/23 12:03pm

And driving past the 50 yard line with the ball

Medute

1/27/23 12:15pm

You were making excuses even though Penn St could have also made them

BYU '80

I disagree with your interpretation of what I said

Tracking bowl wins is meaningless because opponents & context matter

Context is definitely important

There are games that are a representation of the team though. OU vs fsu was

True, I'd argue it tells you more about how a team performs relative to perception

So the Rose Bowl "didn't matter"? So why all the roses and bragging about "valiant losses"? You and the U fanbase

You’ll have to point out where I said it didn’t matter

Medute

Oh wait, I just realized who I replied to

Right back atcha, loser on his rival's site arguing nonsense for his bowl losing league of "champions"

"Bowls have different meanings" = "don't matter" Why else did you contribute to this thread? Happy to annoy you. Go away

They'd all probably tell you it was because their NFL talent skipped the bowl

Maybe we can get the B1G to only send their 4th or 5th best team from now on to the Rose Bowl to face the PAC 12 rep

NC St won the 2021 Holiday bowl by forfeit when UCLA covid canceled hrs before

rbr

1/27/23 10:48am

Basically UCLA lied and said they were a go, only to cancel 2 hrs before kickoff

All I see in the middle is "scum'n U of U"

notaboy

1/27/23 12:39pm

Maybe 1/4 of P5. Many of those teams aren’t P5

NYC and Japan

I was shocked to see the "U" on that list. Not surprised at all to see

SC being on this list is inexcusable.
