Message: [QUOTE="sutomcat, post: 4440680, member: 27"] I think they care about making the bowl people happy and getting the best fits possible slotting ACC schools into bowls. Setting up awful matches is in no one's self interest. Let's do worst case scenario. This would be if Clemson does not make the playoff, and the Reliaquest does not take an ACC team. Then we are looking at something like this for ACC matchups... Orange: Clemson Gator: UNC Cheez-It: Notre Dame Duke's Mayo: Duke Holiday: FSU Sun Bowl: NC State Military Bowl: Wake Forest Pinstripe Bowl: Pittsburgh Fenway Bowl: Syracuse Birmingham Bowl: Louisville Gasparilla Bowl: Miami If things go as badly as possible, and this has been happening for a while now, yes, we could definitely get sent back to Boston. If Clemson does not make the playoffs but the Reliaquest does take an ACC school, things change some... Orange: Clemson Reliaquest: UNC Gator: Notre Dame Cheez-It: FSU Duke's Mayo: Duke Holiday: NC State Sun Bowl: Wake Forest Military Bowl: Pittsburgh Pinstripe Bowl: Syracuse Fenway Bowl: Louisville Birmingham Bowl: Miami Gasparilla Bowl: no one available If Clemson wins out and the ACC gets some help and Clemson makes the college football play, and the ACC gets the Reliaquest this year, we have the best case scenario. Which probably looks like this. I am assuming for now Syracuse finishes 6-6. CFP: Clemson Orange: UNC Reliaquest: Notre Dame Gator: FSU Cheez-It: NC State Duke's Mayo: Duke Holiday: Pittsburgh Sun Bowl: Wake Forest Military Bowl: Miami Pinstripe Bowl: Syracuse Fenway Bowl: Louisville Birmingham Bowl: no one available Gasparilla Bowl: no one available Unless we can find a way to get one or two more wins, I am having a hard time finding a way for us to even get serious consideration for the Military Bowl. Now I started out with worst case and part of that is Miami getting bowl eligible with a win in one of their last 2 games. They play Clemson on the road and Pitt at home. It you don't want to go to the Pinstripe, you want Pitt to win that game in Miami, as it might possibly allow us to go to the Military Bowl. How far we have fallen. Damn. [/QUOTE]
