RE: Tropical Bowl
The Senior Bowl in Mobile is in 2 weeks, on Jan 30th. They have once again gone away from the North-South teams and gone to National-American. They tried this back in the early 90’s going to AFC-NFC and it was a total flop. When they tried this the first time, they did separate Alabama and Auburn, putting one on the AFC and the other on the NFC, and no one knew who to root for. This time they are keeping Alabama and Auburn on the same team, I don’t know where the other southern teams may go. When it’s North-South, if you are an SEC or SBC person, you knew who to root for, and you were rooting for everyone from your conference, now, who knows.
I don’t like it, keep it easy for fans to keep up with who they want to root for. For fans to enjoy the game, they need to involved, it’s hard to vested into one team or the other when you can’t decide which team to root for.

Senior Bowl should do P5 vs G5/FCS haha.
They should stick to the North/South split. I guess you could alternate E/W but where do you draw the line is that question.

This was played in Orlando this year and in Daytona, I believe, last year.
I can't find any stats, highlights, or anything on Twitter. Pretty sure scouts from all NFL and CFL teams were present though.
