I think the extra year is really helping the schools that normally do not lose alot of players to the NFL. Your thoughts?

I don't think it's really helping us, in fact, I'd say it's hurting us.

This is definitely true. We saw it in baseball and now we are seeing it in football.

I just read about the transfer portal really helping some teams in college football and I thought super seniors has an impact as well.

It would be interesting to dig into the data on this, once the season is over. It makes sense in principle. Returning production should favor teams who have less NFL-ready starters.

The question is whether those teams actually out-perform their talent on paper, relative to teams with more NFL talent.

Concur, this was noted during the telecast when they listed the heavy Jr/Sr presence in their starting lineup. It showed in their physical development, especially at the RB and S positions.

Still should have played better and beat em.

Its been the biggest disappointment of the year by far. Due to simple aging, all of the returning lineman should be naturally bigger, stronger, and obviously more experienced. Its like the opposite is true. Their performance is actually a regression from 2020.

Then why didn’t it help our O-line?

Point made. But our oline is injury prone. Has been for a couple years now.
