Good article out of the Miami Herald that talks in detail about how the Tier 1 bowls select teams.  At least more detail than I have seen previously.

[URL="https://www.miamiherald.com/sports/college/acc/university-of-miami/article222309325.html"]Here’s what Canes AD Blake James said about UM bowl outlook, and what you need to know[/URL]

Our proximity to NYC is a problem.

Our playing in Yankee Stadium 2 weeks ago should be taken into account, I think, under the recently played clause.  If that game wasn't recent, none are.

Our long standing rivalry with a former conference member with a long history would also be a strong point in our favor, but only if the Mountaineers are in play.

And if Syracuse fell to Tier 1, they would have a much better record than any other ACC schools that are out there.  But it looks like if the Pinstripe is the only bowl that really wants Syracuse as their top choice, we are probably going to end up there.

What a shame.
