It doesn't happen because of the chance to win the natty.  Only fringe roster guys will transfer when the portal window opens but it’s like players that aren't playing anyways.  CFP disincentivized the Bowl games, no matter how you rotate them into the playoff format if they aren't a playoff game they are virtually worthless. Players will opt out/transfer etc etc and not think twice about it.

Yeah there’s more to it, we’re talking about first round picks.

It's because they're Georgia and Alabama. SEC has fug all to do with it. The rest of the SEC just rides their coattails to claim superiority by proxy.

The SEC has to play those guys and the games are much more competitive at the end of the day. They at least belong in the same conference as those 2 powerhouses.

Outside of the conference elite the rest of the SEC is just run of the mill P5 football teams. 

I don't buy their argument of "We get our asses kicked by those guys every year and that makes us better than you by association! We've lost to Alabama for 17 straight years so take that!" GTFO. They don't fair much better in our of conference play against other P5 competition. They're just not that good.

Yeah because Stetson Bennett is a future HOFer

Doesn't matter what he is in the NFL. He was a damn good college QB. Travis from FSU doesn't project well to the NFL either but he was a damn good college QB too. Not every good college player projects well to the NFL. It doesn't make them any less of a college player.

Regular season matchup are far more relevant than non-playoff bowl game matchups with the opt-outs. It is what it is. The bowls are dead.

I've watch 0 bowl games outside of the playoffs for probably the last 5 years. Fans don't go to them either. Wasn't the mayo bowl mostly empty when unc got boat raced?

Yup it's a season long race to the CFP.. Once your team is on the outside looking in it's time to prepare for your future. If you are draft eligible, come along for the gifts and media time and ride the pine and leave your draft stock and health intact.
