Pac 12 Bowl Game Thread

[Duck07]

Somehow the fine folks at Disney thought it'd be a great idea to play 2 Pac 12 games at the same time today.

OSU-Florida at 1130 on ESPN
WSU-Fresno State at 1230 on ABC

Beavers might actually have a QB edge with Richardson not playing as he's declared for the draft.

Musta been a hell of a run down at the credit union getting second mortgages on the old single wide to make the trip all the way to Las Vegas for beevur nayshun.

Frankly that says more about you than Beaver fans.

Yeah forgot the old PC rule here.

The game is going about how I expected with Florida losing so many players and OSU being mostly intact and motivated.

Yeah forgot the old PC rule here.

Being a disrespectful person isn't a "PC" thing, its just basic decency.

Beavers are absolutely whooping the Gators, up 30-0 in the 4th quarter. Gulbranson actually looks like a legitimate P5 QB albeit against a depleted Florida team.

Yeah, for scouting purposes it would have been nice to see Richardson throw against a good group of DBs but nobody is going to remember the guys who didn't play down the road.

10 win season for the Beavs and this might be one of the Top 10 seasons of all-time.

If UCLA and Oregon can win their bowl games, 6 Pac-12 teams will have 10+ win seasons.

Beavers took SEC Gators to the wood shed, I am happy it happened and now thinking Beavers are a yearly contender in the PAC?

Well at least Oregon State did not, cause Washington State didn’t. The Cougs didn’t play Oregon so they didn’t care.

What we’re seeing so far is why nobody really cares about bowl results anymore. It’s the teams with the fewest defections winning the games. Wazzu was playing without multiple starting WR and both coordinators are gone. Meanwhile, Fresno had most of their team in tact. Similarly, OSU had everyone playing, while tons of Florida guys opted out and they played their 3rd string QB. No stock to be put in these games.

The bowl games have sure lost their luster with the portal, I will still watch and cheer for my teams and the PAC 12 in general during bowl season. But the portal has changed it. I remember the mostly negative reaction here when Royce opted out of the bowl game, it was a big deal, now opting out is common place.

This clip perfectly sums up how much Florida cared to be playing. Haha. This was early in the game too.

Yup, A 6-6 Florida team that lost a ton of guys before this game = close to no care or effort.

Still looks good for PAC-12 but I wouldn’t use bowl game data/results to support any conclusions. (outside of playoffs or big six bowls)
