Do opt-outs change how you remember a bowl win?
A bowl victory still goes in the record book, but roster availability can make the game feel like a preview rather than a finale. I do not blame players for protecting their futures, and backups earning real snaps can be compelling. Yet fans use opt-outs to dismiss a result they would celebrate if the outcome were reversed. How much weight do you give these games afterward?
