Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 5275747, member: 202"] Heard that the ACC arranged Duke's slot in the Gator Bowl. Their rationale: Duke has not played in a Florida-based bowl game since 1994. That's it. That was the determining factor. And these days, the conferences are more powerful than the bowls (by a long shot). SMH. If this is true, the ACC needs to do better. Merit should carry the day. I'm not as down as most on facing Wazzou. I feel for their plight. I do think a Gator Bowl berth against UF or Ole Miss would have been better for the program and helped the kids get ready for Tennessee in the Kickoff Game in Atlanta next August/Sept. [/QUOTE]
