Cotton Bowl. This smells like a rout to me. 

I think Ohio State will play Missouri closer I don't think Missouri will rout them.

It was great at the end of Reece Davis's interview of Missouri coach Eliah Drinkwitz he told Reece I need to get off I have a call coming in from Connor Stalions. Davis just lost it. It was great!

I think this will be a good game. I think Missouri probably wins.

I picked Mizzou. Ohio State I fell will have guys sitting out that are more important to their team the vice versa. Plus Missouri is really good this year. 

I knew the Buckeyes record vs. SEC teams in bowl games was not real good, but I did not realize it was as bad as 2-12 all-time.

Buckeyes by 26 if Day opens up the playbook if not Buckeyes by 3.

Like every single bowl game that isn't the playoffs, the game's outcome will have more to do with who plays and who doesn't.  Osu's qb is transferring so I'd assume he isn't going to play in this.  I'd venture to say he isn't the only regular starter that will be skipping this game either.

I never knew what to make of bowl games to begin with because of the wacky month long break teams take in between games. I really do not know what to make of bowl games now that kids are sitting them out or entering the transfer portal. It has more so just become an additional "spring practice" for teams with a vacation sprinkled in at the end. I always enjoy the "my conference's 5th best team beat your conference's 4th best team on a Tuesday afternoon in El Paso after we both took off 40 days from playing football; therefore, my conference is better than your conference" commentary. I do think there is some validity to the argument if compared/contrasted against over several years, but a singular year snapshot tells us nothing.

This is pretty much how I approach it too.  There are a few exceptions, but outside the Top 4 teams, I don't think bowl games amount to a hill of beans.  Obviously there are financial benefits for schools involved, but I don't think they provide an accurate gauge of anything.

The month off is incredibly annoying.  And I certainly don't blame kids for choosing to sit out of bowl games when they have future earnings depending on their health.

Go Tigers! SEC with a big win here! 

Is McCord being gone from tOSU a positive for the Buckeyes?

Ohio St. 24-20.

7-6 in the poll favor OSU.
