I think this will be my last update.

Spent some time reading a bunch of ACC football message boards.

From what I can piece together, here is how it is going to go down…

Orange Clemson
CheezIt FSU
Gator ND
Holiday UNC
Sun Pitt
Mayo NC State
Pinstripe Syracuse
Military Duke
Fenway UL
Gasparilla Wake

It appears that a huge domino in these selections was what the Pinstripe did.  They chose Syracuse (no doubt Syracuse lobbied hard for it).

There were apparently expectations Pitt was going to get the nod here (they apparently preferred it over the Sun).  When Syracuse was picked instead, it meant the Sun got Pitt (instead of Duke).  Wake was expected to get the Military but with Pitt in the Sun, Duke was sent to the Military.  And Wake got bumped from the Military to the Gasparilla.

Duke and Wake fans are not happy.  Duke fans really wanted the Mayo Bowl, or at least the Sun given their 8-4 record.

And it appears all but certain the B1G team in the Pinstripe will be Minnesota, whose fans are very unhappy.  They think they deserved a more prestigious bowl against a more prestigious opponent.

It appears they are still a very stupid fanbase.  I look forward to some interesting conversations on this board with some of them.

What is a Syracuse fan's favorite color?
