Thoughts on VA knocking off Mizzu

Mizzou's starting QB portal'd. That had to have an impact.
I dont think as much of an impact as losing Venables. But both seemed to have had an impact.
Personally, I don't think who wins or loses bowl games means anything anymore. Teams are completely different by the time the bowl is played.
Didn't think much of it. What I saw was just another middle of the pack SEC team matched up against a top tier ACC team... same thing we have seen for decades now.
It means something to the fans and the committed players.
I would feel a lot better about the program if we went to a bowl game.
I get that the view point of the current demographic is that nothing matters except the playoffs but i can't help but feel that we are continually disassembling the sport we claim to love because some plutocrat is telling us that's what we want.
My thoughts are that the SEC is off to a disgraceful start in the undercard season, that the BiG is dominating the undercard season and that the B1G will win the national championship for the third year in a row. In that case, the B1G will be rightly and indisputably considered the top football conference in America. The thought sickens me.
Mizzou down to 3rd string Qb.I’m all for changing these meaningless bowls to a G5 playoff.Makes them relevant again.
The #2 team in the ACC beat the #8 team in the SEC playing with a backup QB in a close game. I don't think there's much more to make of it than that.
Seems SEC expansion has diluted things. Parity within the conference means less dominance outside.
More $$ isn't always a good thing.
There is a very good chance the championship game will be between 2 B1G teams this year.
The SEC has sunk to insignificance with the retirement of Nick Saban, NIL's leveling impact at the top of the sport, and coaching instability at important SEC football schools. The preeminence is gone. We aren't much, if any, better than the Big 12.
I'd say the B1G and SEC are about equal at the very top, UGA/Bama/Ole Miss vs. Ohio State/Oregon/Indiana. After the top teams, both conferences are full of good(ish) and mediocre teams.
NIL has spread the talent around. Coaching is more important now than it was pre NIL.
That living in Virginia, and living not too far from Charlottesville. I'm going to have to listen to those clowns crowing all off season! 
UGA a possibility (but I doubt they could get past OSU), I don't think Bama could get past Indy or Oregon/TTU
I have no doubt Indiana is the better team. Bama better gird their loins.
Alabama is talented but not as talented as they were and subject to break down in a given game on either side of the ball.
I wish that would happen, but the shock of it might bring about the cardiac event that takes me into the next realm.
OSU looked great against a pillow soft B1G schedule until they faced a team with a real defense in the conference championship game.
UGA has quietly become very good as the season wore on and their young D matured. UGA/Indiana would be a slobber knocker with two really good defenses.
I believe the B1G has won every bowl it has played this year; the SEC has won none unless one has slipped by me. It's a debacle in the making.
I see OSU or Indiana winning it. Don’t think you can put too much into who wins the non playoff bowls. Too many factors. it is the Big 10 and SEC ant this point, everyone else are just pretenders. Wouldn’t be surprised if Georgia gets to the finals. Will enjoy watching either way.
2-5, 0-4 vs P4 teams.
2 wins = Bama vs OK (yeah, I know, eating your own), and Ole Miss vs Tulane.
I care only about South Carolina. Don’t give a tinkers crap about ‘the SEC’ or the B1G whatevers; just window dressing on my tv. Just please don’t give me Alabama and Georgia again.
The first one doesn't count an any way that matters. Vandy just lost to Iowa. The disaster becomes more disparaging with every passing day. There's only one avenue remaining to SEC redemption. Redemption isn't likely. The SEC is no longer excellent, let alone the best.
When one league rules another, it means something somehow.
In all honesty, if we were dominating so far, like the B10 is, I'm pretty sure we'd argue that it was important.
Excuses, and being dismissive does not change the fact or narrative that the SEC bowl record so far is nothing short of dismal
Oh, dismal ain't even a good down payment on how bad it is.
