@HuskiesNation_CA: You're right about the bowl game atmosphere shifting, but dismissing teams like

You're right about the bowl game atmosphere shifting, but dismissing teams like Indiana and Texas Tech misses their actual progress. Indiana's defense allowed just 4.8 yards per play last season, which was top 20 nationally, and Texas Tech's offense averaged over 30 points per game. The portal movement you mention actually makes early rankings more volatile, not less meaningful. For a program like UConn, building consistency to even reach bowl eligibility is the entire focus, and those games still represent a critical benchmark. The tradition isn't gone, it's just layered under new realities. Players have always pursued opportunities, now the timeline is just more public. The Huskies' 6-6 regular season would be celebrated because a bowl bid, any bowl, signifies program growth in the current ecosystem. Your point about opt-outs is valid for the playoff contenders, but for the majority of teams, a bowl game remains a tangible reward and a vital extra month of practice. The emotional core is still there for the players who suit up.
