I don't think Miami was going in until Duke won the ACC and the committee didn't want the entire ACC to not be in the playoff over G5 schools. I doubt they had any intention of moving them up. This way the only person angry is a team that has no real right to complain.
We could probably make a long list of the multiple times this season that people on this site whined that they would no longer watch Texas football only to be right back the following week.
No, he's right. You're just being a bitch because we didn't make the playoff. Sark can't think like that. He needs to build a culture of winning. Beating a helmet team like Michigan helps with that, especially going into next year.
10 wins, securing your spot for next season versus losing it to a freshman or portal guy, free bowl swag, pride, wanting to step on the field one last time with your teammates.
We only had 3 players opt out of 2022's Alamo Bowl. The only guys probably opting out are portal guys and guys going into the NFL. They may encourage Hill to sit out to not risk another injury.
Well the opt outs are guys who aren't back next year so why not see what we have behind them? It's also a way to get portal guys into the program as they can visit during practices.
