I call them the Opt Out Bowls or the 2nd stringer Bowls. Nobody with any future will play, their agents advise against it. Its better than nothing which the Orange & White game has became, basically an autograph session.
I think some people still like to follow the playoff talk, even if Tennessee isn't in it. And there are some who won't give up, even if we only have a 3.8% chance (according to the betting odds).
But ok, what bowl do you think Tennessee will go to?
I saw that Brett McMurphy is projecting Tennessee to play Miami in the Gator Bowl.
Some guy from ESPN had us in the Duke's Mayo Bowl against Louisville.
Ah yes, so it's a meaningless game? Let me clue you in on something: this whole thing is a bunch of young guys you don't know -- many of them not even old enough to drink -- running around on a field. All the games are meaningless, so if you're going to care about any of them, why pick and choose?Why does anyone care what bowl we are going to be in? It's nothing but a glorified spring game now.

Before the 12 team playoff, kids not playing in the games, so did I, but not anymore.Because we enjoy watching the Vols play anywhere and anytime - but especially when and where it is warm. If the bowl is in Florida, we will go and make it a mini-vacation in the middle of winter. Not only do I care, I am really looking forward to it.
Because we get to see the young players we'll likely be depending next season.....or we'll identify weaknesses we need to address in the portal.Why does anyone care what bowl we are going to be in? It's nothing but aglorified spring game now.
