Interesting they have us in the Citrus Bowl. Not sure how that happens but would take it in a second

actually after I posted that Sporting News link I read somewhere else that because Orange Bowl is a CFP game this year, then Citrus must take B1G/SEC, so Citrus would be impossible for 'Cuse, unless some kind of a deal was arranged.

the Sporting News is a rag, no idea how they think we can be in the Citrus Bowl instead of SEC vs Big 10. would be great, but can't happen

Unfortunately, Texas A&M has moved from Big 12 to SEC in last conference alignment. Possible opponents are Oklahoma and Texas title game loser, West Virginia and Iowa State.

Thank you for setting me straight. The main reason I picked Texas A&M was due to them hiring Jimbo Fisher as their coach.

I can guarantee it will be "unofficially official" before Sunday.

until the last rankings are done at noon on sunday nothing can be finalized

technically we could be in the citrus bowl if the orange wasnt hosting the playoff semis this year if ohio state finished 5th in the rankings

Citrus has a secondary ACC tie in.

Here is info from the Citrus Bowl website:

CITRUS BOWL
The seventh-oldest collegiate bowl game in the country, the Citrus Bowl began as the Tangerine Bowl in 1947. Since 1993 the bowl has hosted top teams from the Big Ten and Southeastern conferences. In the College Football Playoff era, the game will also occasionally host top teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference.

Chris was correct above. ACC is not going to citrus this year. The bowl itself tweeted it

Would actually be a weird symmetry there.

In 1979, team appeared headed to the Tangerine Bowl and just had to beat a meh BC team in a game played at Cornell because of the Dome construction.

Instead, got curb stomped and wound up in the Independence Bowl, Shreveport.

So 39 years later, we take care of business in Chestnut Hill and wind up in the modern day Tangerine Bowl?

Not bad.

Ha, then disregard my post above!

 

[Jake]

THAT was GREAT!!

Which was better than when someone I know had access to the bracket about 15 minutes before it got released in 2007 and I got a text that said “you’re not going to believe this, but we’re not in the bracket”.

I guess that’s it then. So what are the other possibilities?

Did not realize that. I still hate Sporting News but they got me on this one

You ended up being right because if they did their homework, they’d know ACC can’t be in Citrus this year

 

[Louie and Bouie]

So if Orange Bowl wasn't hosting CFP this year we'd be playing in Orange Bowl guaranteed or is there wiggle room?

 

[Vorony]

We’d be in the Orange Bowl as the next highest ranked ACC team in the CFP rankings.

Correct. Any other 9-3 year we’re Orange

 

[OmahaCuse]

AD did not answer the question on Babers. Any good leader would have already had those discussions so assuming we have him locked up.

We are unlucky to be No. 2 ACC team this year. Once every three years, Orange Bowl is used to host National Semi Game. Otherwise, the No. 2 ACC team will go to Orange Bowl.
