So, who thinks MD will win this year? UNC won in 2022 with a stacked team of 7 5th years - MD is the same this year. Thoughts? Curious how teams pan out when he 5th year goes away?
Not sure why having 5th year players matters. Maryland and UNC were two of the best programs long before the whole COVID 5th year eligibility thing came about. It is a level playing field for all but some of the Ivy's (some do not permit transfers, redshirts, 5th year etc..). As far as I know, all other programs can have 5th year players. The team that plays the best when it matters will win the National Championship. Not sure why anyone is concerned about 5th year players. Are there programs that can not have 5th year players on their roster?
