Message: [QUOTE="SUinNYC, post: 291169, member: 602"] So...as of this moment, the ACC is looking a little left out in the post-season bowl game match-up department. The B1G has the PAC 12. The SEC has the BIG 12. The ACC has the...Orange Bowl? Ok, it seems like everyone has a dance partner except us. But it doesn't have to be that way. And it certainly doesn't mean we have to dance with ugliest girl at the prom (Big East). What if the ACC made a deal with ALL the other leagues to play a game between our champ and their highest rated team left on the board? Below are last year's final rankings. With the new playoff system (assuming champs only), LSU would have played Oklahoma State and Oregon would have played Wisconsin, correct? So that would have put Michigan in the Rose Bowl with Stanford and Alabama against Kansas State in the SEC/Big 12 game. So by my rough estimates, the highest team left on the board is Arkansas. So Virginia Tech would play Arkansas in this new game and the ACC and SEC would split the profits. If a B1G or a BIG 12 team was the highest team, we'd play them instead. Not a bad matchup, and I don't think any league would hesitate at having one of their teams play our champ in a premium game like that.
