Syracuse not even mentioned in [URL='http://www.dailypress.com/sports/teel-blog/dp-teel-time-vt-russell-athletic-rutgers,0,5657265.story']this article[/URL], which was published this morning.
 
Looks like the Belk or Pinstripe. As jurrie keeps reminding us, the UConn-UC game will be key determining what happens there. No one asked me, but I think over/under on that game should be around 15.
 
Maybe the biggest thing that would help SU land the Belk is for Virginia Tech to be placed there. They already played UC in the regular season and it is very unlikely they would be paired against them again in a bowl game.
 
Also, [URL='http://www.dailypress.com/sports/teel-blog/dp-teel-time-no-school-affected-more-by-accs-louisvilleformaryland-swap-than-virginia--20121129,0,4166934.story']an interesting article [/URL]on how Maryland defecting affects UVa more than any other ACC school. They were paired with the Terps, have played them twice a year in basketball for 71 consecutive years and have finished the season against each other in football 11 of the past 13 years. The plan is replace UMd with UL.
 
The article suggests switching crossover rivals so VT gets UL and instead of UL, VT gets BC, which sounds like a good idea to me. It seems though that the ACC is determined to avoid doing anything that would retain old rivalries and make geographic sense, so it probably won't happen.
 
One other thing. With UL replacing UMd, the tally is now 8 original ACC schools and 7 defectors from the Big East. Unbelievable.
