Oh I agree. I was watching the Tennessee-Kentucky game also, and they were talking how the Vols need to win to reach that #6 plateau and be bowl eligible. Any team that goes 1-6 in their own conference shouldn't be bowl eligible. And the way most schedules are set up any more, very cupcake, it doesn't take much to reach that 6 win goal.Quote:

The Gator Bowl has already publicly said they want Ohio State vs. Florida even if both teams are 6-6 (since Urban Meyer will be the head coach).Quote:

In the offseason he needs to work on some of his intermediate throws and his accuracy, but he's going to be a star next year with Urban Meyer. Hopefully some of the receivers step up next year as well.

Interesting. I know someone on the board there and live in Jax. I doubt I'd even have much interest going to that game.Quote:

It's like giving every kid a trophy so they don't feel left out.
And yes, the Gator Bowl wants the Urban Meyer bowl. We'll see.
If it's not Meyer's coaching staff, what good will it really do them? Practice in a system that won't exist come fall?Quote:
