    I like Cincinnati's chances vs COVID more than I like Alabama's chances vs COVID.

    IDK, Bama didn't have any issues it last year. I think they had a coach out. "Miraculously" they had no players out for semi or national championship games

    Saban missed a game.

    I think a lot of the southern teams had the virus early on whereas a lot of the late adaptors to football had the virus towards the end of the season.

    Based on what we know about the newest variant which is clearly the dominant variant in the US now, there is no reason to be testing vaccinated players unless they show symptoms. I think everyone is getting close to accepting there is no running from omicron for youngish and healthy individuals......only the self protection of being vaccinated. We need a paradigm shift to accept that if there are 10 asymptomatic players on the field in a game......that is ok.

    I predict SEC will have a below .500 record in the bowls.

    Going into the 4th.....UCF up 26-17 on UF. Gatorfan will not be happy if UCF wins this game.

    The SEC is starting out 0-2 (and to Group of Five schools too). Got a feeling though that this is going to be a topsy-turvy Bowl season with lots of "WTH"? lol

    I don't think there's much WTH about this terrible Florida team losing to pretty much anyone.

    Yeah, that is not true. They probably wished this team did not play in a bowl game, but they all wanted desperately to win just to not allow UCF to claim a victory over them. UCF has been the best college team in Florida 3 of the last 5 years (2017, 2018, 2021).

    Hopefully one of the Fenway or Military Bowl teams can fill in for Miami in the Sun Bowl.

    Who is in charge of testing for these teams anyway? If I'm a playoff team, I'd be having vaccinated kids with no symptoms swabbing their ears at this point if they were required to test.

    I understand caution; but what does the science, up to this point, say about this new varient? Highly contagious, yet far less severity as far as level of illness. That should be celebrated as good news! This virus is going to run it's course mask or no mask. Again, not saying don't take precautions, but lets quit treating this thing as the Black Death. I'm vaccinated/Boosted, wear a mask inside when in public. I caught something last week, that was, IMO, mild flu symptoms (headache, sore throat/cough, runny nose. Gone after a day. Was it the seasonal flu or this omnicron? lol

    https://www.statnews.com/2021/12/22/...redict-deaths/

    In earlier waves, rising death rates would follow an increase in cases; the impact of rising cases on death rates could be seen visually and validated statistically. Deaths would follow cases upward, and peak roughly two to three weeks after new cases began trending downward. With Omicron, however, we not only don’t see the rise in death rates that were associated with the first waves, but we actually see a continuing decline in death rates, despite a radical increase in cases.

    So, according to the math, Omicron cases rising no longer automatically means impending doom and gloom, nor does it require apocalyptic language like we’re hearing from the media and political leaders implying mass waves of death with rapidly increasing case rates.
