I'm with you @MontanaDawg, let's stop the WHINING about who's not going to be in the game and fire up the ones who are. I don't hear Kirby crying about them. He wishes them well and he moves on. The ones who play in the bowl game are still Georgia Bulldogs, after all, and need our support. Until and unless the CFP gods do as @Bigjohnson92 said and expand the playoffs, these kids are going to keep on opting out because it's what's best for THEM. Most people do the same thing in everyday life, from the POTUS to the lowest. I wanted an 8-team playoff from Day One; I always thought it was **** and unfair to automatically exclude at least one member of the Power 5 from the playoffs before the season even began. And yes, if we win our games, and go to the playoffs ourselves, we wouldn't be worried about these opt outs. I just wish these kids that do opt out would announce it before Signing Day (or that they move the Early Signing period back) so that the coaches actually know who they have to replace.
As much as some of these kids talk about loving UGA and being family. it appears like it's the opposite. I'm not saying no one on the team should skip the bowl game, maybe if you are a potential 1st or maybe 2nd rounder, but anything below that you get one more chance or two with the Senior Bowl to showcase your wares.
Not sure how you improve your stock without playing, if that's what you need to do. Just seems like a fad, all the rats jumping ship, metaphorically speaking only. Maybe they would be ineligible anyways.
To all the opt outs, you just showed your team mates what you thought of them.
This will test UGA's depth . . . again. We did very well last year against Baylor, and my money says the same for this year. Go 'Dogs!!!
The DAWGS are better than this! Could beat Ohio State and or Notre Dame! Rather play Oklahoma or Texas A&M!
