OSU hardly has anyone opt out. Brandon Roby is the only one that jumps to mind.

If your players cannot wait to get the hell out of there, that's a problem.
To be fair, this isn't really a fair comparison because tOSU has mostly been in CFP Bowls that actually matter.

If a player wants to opt out, he needs to make the decision before September 1st.  Either sit out the whole season and give someone else your scholly, or honor your scholarship and play every game that you're able. 
This is where we're headed.  Bosa showed you don't need to play any more, once you've shown you're dominant.
That Penn St LB and LSU's WR Chase will both hold their draft position and once that happens, players who show flashes as a FR and dominate as a SO, will simply sit out and get drafted the following spring.

Sourkraut balls sound horrendous.  Kraut is one of those foods that I don't just dislike, but that I can't fathom how anyone likes it.

Do you think Trask should have opted out last night?  After the fact, yes.  He may have dropped into the 2nd round.
I think he should have, but it is conditional.  Once all those WR's opted out he should have as well because what happened last night wasn't really all that surprising.  

I'd say if you were a RB expected to go in the 1st round and three of your OL decided to opt out, BAIL!  You don't want to show NFL scouts what you look like behind a patchwork OL so you need to bail.  Same for a QB with no experienced WR's or no experienced OL, etc.

The team Florida put out there was a disservice to OU.  It converted it into a spring-time jamboree type game.  If it was just backups, that'd be one thing, but there were many players out there getting their first game action of the season.  I'm not saying it's why Florida lost, OU played great and earned the win, for sure.
But I'm sure OU fans would have loved to have beaten the real Florida team even more.  There were other guys out that I didn't know about even as the game started.  
But as long as the OU players enjoyed themselves, then I guess it's no harm done.

Honestly, if I were a coach and my team was in a non-CFP Bowl, I think I'd opt not to play any seniors after the first quarter.  Let them start and play a quarter but then spend the last three quarters seeing what I have for next year and getting my next year guys some live snaps.  That would basically make Bowls into NFL preseason games. 
why even go that far.  I wouldn't even have the seniors and others that weren't going to play the following season practice for the bowl.
Give all the practice reps and game reps to the guys coming back.
Let the seniors pick up their gift bag, eat well, go out on the town (no curfew).

Ya it'll be like the night before the 1st Super Bowl 34 yr old Max McGee got smashed figuring he wasn't going to play.Then starting WR Boyd Dowler reinjured his shoulder practicing. McGee who stayed up partying with 2 stewardesses he met at the Hotel Bar didn't find out until he came stumbling back to his room at 6:30 AM and Bart Starr passed him going to breakfast told him.McGee caught 4 passes all year but had 2 TD grabs and 138 yds receiving total in one of the best perormances in a Title game.The Pack beat the Chiefs 35-10
