Listen, I’m just a guy who loves college football betting, and I never played the sport. So far be it from me to send out any criticism. However, I’ve always wondered something. When you have a successful season and win your bowl game, players love showing off their championship rings.
The 2020 college football bowl season figures to be like none other, with COVID-19 issues causing some squads to opt out and bowl games having to be canceled because of a lack of participating teams.

“2020 has been a trying year for everyone,” Ossai said in a statement released by the school. “As a team we have endured many challenges both on and off the field, but I couldn’t be prouder to be a Texas Longhorn. Growing up in Texas, football is everything, and there is no bigger stage to play the game I love than here in Austin. I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to wear the Burnt Orange for the last three years now and wouldn’t trade that time for anything in the world. Now that our regular season has ended, I have made the tough decision to go ahead and begin to prepare for the 2021 NFL Draft. As a kid, I dreamt of playing at Texas and going on to play in the NFL.
