If they're scared to play in one more game, I would think that would hurt their stock. I like the way Georgia's QB put it.

He doesn't care if he has the chance to play you in the backyard BBQ bowl. If he gets a chance to go out and compete, he is going to do it at the highest level. That is a dawg mentality right there. Now... we will see if he ever "opts out", but it sounded good on TV. Lol
It is all about program mentality and buy in from the players. We had it last year, outside of a couple of players. OM had it this year. UGA and Bama have it every year. That is the difference. Go back to last year and look at how few opt outs Bama had in their bowl game. UGA this year.

It is why they are the gold standard programs in CFB right now. Those players have a COMPLETE buy in to the program.
