I think the Russel always preferred Louisville but when it came down to Rutgers, Cincy, or Cuse I am a bit shocked they did not take Syracuse due to the Virginia Tech matchup. Someone really dropped the ball there. Not saying we did or did not deserve it over anyone its simply a matter of compelling matchups and Rutgers-Virginia Tech is not a compelling matchup...at all.
 
The Belk was always a toss up. Nobody is going to that game no matter who is picked especially against Duke. No problem with them taking Cincy if that holds true.
 
Pinstripe is where it gets iffy. I thought we would be a shoe in and this has always been the game I wanted most but if you are taking West Virginia then see my above thoughts for the Russel Bowl. It has to be Pittsburgh over Syracuse.
 
So we are left picking up scraps and to be honest if we are fed up as a fan base and a program with our history of bowl selections then the alumni must travel to the dome...not just bowl games and start filling that place up like we do basketball. If Basketball had bowl games we would be the #1 or #2 pick in any given year because we travel for basketball and follow the sport like it is a cult. Until that transfers to football get used to Compass Bowls. The second point is that we need to finish games in season. Beat Cincy or play special teams against Rutgers and we are not only in the BCS Bowl this season but would have been in a bowl game last season.
 
From where we were during the first half of the season we should be happy to get in a game against an opponent like Ole Miss no matter where its played.
