Although, I’d imagine he’d sit out. let him get his thirty and then sit? i bet caddy would allow it. but i am confused. i thought i saw a headline where the team was split down the middle on playing or not playing? granted i just woke up and feel a little sickish. i guess a coach can make them play even tho some kids get to sit?

Mikey 16,466 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I think the recruiting angle is being overblown. There is a dead period coming up that doesn't end until after the bowls and playoffs are over. So, we can't recruit non-stop over the holidays anyway. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win4AU 4,044 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 100% yes. I’m not sure why this is even a question The more teams a conference has in bowls the more money the conference gets. The more money a conference gets the more money the schools get. Why would you not want more money? Who cares if Auburn loses to Tulane or some other AAC CUSA team in the Bham bowl? It will affect nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure, that could work too. I was just thinking there could be value to the guys that are on the fence about entering the portal to see a little about how the new coach does things.

I was thinking that, but I don't think they can pass Ohio State. And I doubt they can pass TCU unless they get blown out by Kansas State, and maybe not even then. Then USC is just insurance. Bama with 2 losses to less than impressive teams just isn't going to get there. Edited November 29, 2022 by Cardin Drake 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These kids deserve it with how they closed out the year and the practice would be huge. 1000% take it. Exactly right. We also need to be breaking in that brand spanking new shiny football only facility. Time for WORK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And Bama both losses are by 1 play. That's how they will likely see it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tons of D1 Recruits in the Tampa Bay Area...Caddy and him can visit IMG...it is less than ten minutes from my house. There is fertile grounds in an hour & 1/2 from Tampa...Invite local coaches to the practice, D1 prospects and future prospects to come with their coaches to an open practice along with local AU fans...There are a ton of us here in the area. Are you kidding we can show up and show out!...Oh and don't forget the players that we have on the Bucs....they may could show up on that day... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Auburn has to have a certain level of excellence in academic progress. I believe this team qualifies in that department. Then, there has to be a shortage of teams that won 6 or more games. That looks iffy. I'm not sure but I don't think the bowls can pass over a six-win team for one with a 5-7 record. That's what I've heard in passing, I haven't looked into it in depth.

I'm not sure but I don't think the bowls can pass over a six-win team for one with a 5-7 record. That's what I've heard in passing, I haven't looked into it in depth. It's complicated. Probably have some things wrong. But from what I can gather - Currently there are three open spots after all bowl eligible teams are taken. Buffalo is 5-6 and may earn one of the 3 spots Friday night against Akron. Of course it's also not impossible a six win team could decline a bid for some reason. 5-7 teams get bids based on APR, which my understanding is we are third. BUT.... one team we are behind, UNLV, just fired their coach Monday and has unofficially indicated they would decline a bowl bid. But wait there's more: App State is 6-6 but two wins are over FCS teams which makes them ineligible. However they are claiming a scheduling hardship and have asked the NCAA for a waiver to make them bowl eligible. NMSU is 5-6 and has asked for a waiver to become bowl eligible because their 12th game was postponed (weather) and their opponent has declined to reschedule There are no set guidelines or precedent for these waivers just the whim of the NCAA. But if either one is granted they would take open slots ahead of us. Sorry if I got anything wrong 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
