Transfers? Why is that even happening before the season is over?
Renders the whole thing meaningless and is a bad look for the program.
No stakes? I'm sure there were dozens of other teams across the country that would have killed to be in the Orange Bowl with their full roster.
So these players wouldn't have opted out or transferred if they were in the College Playoffs instead? Bull! I don't blame the kids. This is a top-down problem. Glad they got locked out of the Playoffs.

Totally agree.
So much for student athletics as being a vessel for character building. I'm surprised the NFL doesn't look down on prospects who skip big games and let their teammates down for fear of being injured in a given game. It's the antithesis of what you'd expect from a future professional player.
