No Rocket, Kennard for bowl game

People have argued about bowls being "meaningless", but opt outs have really made them that way.
I suppose on the bright side, it's a no lose situation. We win, woo hoo. We lose, it doesn't count because it wasn't our full team playing anyway.

Yeah, it's a chance for a bench guy to play, and get quite a few practices in as a starter.
I guess i was saying that I always objected to labeling bowls as meaningless. For decades every bowl that didn't decide the national title was "meaningless".
It just seems like this new trend of opting out has finally made them really meaningless.
Emmanwori announced he's playing in bowl game
Not really the "new" way. It's been like this since the playoffs started 10 or so years ago. Playoffs have rendered these bowl games pretty meaningless to most.
Did the playoffs do that? Before the playoffs, the bowls that weren't BCS bowls were just as meaningless. Before that, the bolws that didn't have the top 1 or 2 teams were just as meaningless.
Just about every bowl has been "meaningless" since their inception.
It's Illinois. Nobody cares. More excited about seeing some future talent than anything.
People were not opting out of bowl games near the rate they have been since the inception of the playoffs into college football. The playoffs have definately made the all the other bowl games much more "meaningless".
I agree the opt outs are killing g the bowls, or at least enthusiasm for them.
I just don't think the playoffs caused the opt outs.
Now it's not just opt outs, its the transfer portal/window as well.
