I blame that entirely on the coaching. How many first round draft picks does Alabama usually have, and how many of those guys sit out their bowl games? Bryce Young is likely to be picked first or second in the draft and Will Anderson will be up there too, but yet both of them played in their meaningless bowl game. EIGHT Bama players are expected to be in the top 100 of the draft, and yet they ALL played.

Why? Coaching. They have it drilled into their head that they are part of the team and that the team needs them. None of them even considered not playing in the game, even though they didn't make the playoffs this year.

Lsu played a 2nd string quarterback for most of the game..

I think we should give some other forum the "byrd". Lol

I guess Purdue's coach led by example, since he decided not show up for the game either.

Saw this and had to buy

Only have one question.
Why are all the games for the National Championship always played at a SEC field , with SEC officals ?

They aren’t? The bowls are contracted for the stadiums years ahead. The national championship is in Inglewood California. Last year it was in Indianapolis.
PAC-12 officials worked oh st vs GA
They don’t have conference official if that conference is playing the majority of the time.

The twelve team playoff will really hurt some t Shirt fan egos in here… as it should

Alabama wasn’t in the top four. Good enough for me.

OK so why was the Michigan TCU game and Ohio State Geogia game both played on SEC fields?

They weren't.

TCU/MI was played at State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ.

OH ST/GA game WAS played in Georgia, at Mercedes Benz stadium in Atlanta... but that's NOT Georgia's field... they play in Athens.

They are now lol ahead of both big 10 losers !!! Lol lol lol lol
