Finals so far:
Memphis over Clemson (fantastic win)
FAU over TxState
Tulsa loses to UCF
Shockers lose to DePaul. Shockingly bad 2H. Wichita State is nearly doubled up on, 25-49.
Pending:
Tulane looking out classed by FSU. 2:19 left in 1H
Utah State up on USF 64-50. 9 minutes left
Losing a bowl game team because of transfers is another sign of disaster in the FBS.
Bowl games are starting to feel like the first game of next season, not the last game of this one. Florida State hasn't been the same since 24 players opted out of the Orange Bowl and the left-behinds got beat 66-3.
A player who enters the portal certain they are going to leave will opt out of bowl games. But some of them may enter the portal wanting to see the offers they get before they decide to transfer.
Last year only 45% of players who entered the portal went to a new school.
If the transfer portal could move after bowl games (unlikely for academic reasons), there might be a lot more players participating in bowls.
