The Gold Standard thread approves of a game against ASU.

The bunch picking us in the Gator still has UGA in the CFP. Well … they must think we beat UGA to put us in the Gator, and if we beat UGA they won’t make the CFP.

Or they could be thinking that other teams might lose to put us in the Gator? Just potentiating

Fenway could be cool despite horrible weather I suppose. The loss to Syracuse really stings. If not for that, I think we're looking at El Paso. Gator doesn't seem likely without a win in Athens. I'll be happy if we at least don't get stuck in a pre-Christmas bowl like last year.

I do not want to play Tulane in a bowl. We get nothing for beating them. Losing to them would be a disaster with the rumors of how our coaching search went. And they are very good.

U(sic)ga is not mathematically eliminated from the SEC championship game. If they win it, they are in the CFP.

I say this every year - I don’t know why people post bowl projections from various sites here. They’re literally WORSE than me or you making projections, because we at least know about and consider the historical politics and preferences of the various bowls. All these writers just seem to randomly slot teams into bowls based on nothing more than tie-ins.

This. The bowl prognosticators generally ignore the historical preferences of bowls and just align bowl selection order and conference standings. There is no understanding of what the bowls and conferences actually want.

BC will always get shafted by the acc. So will we. UL has to have a good record or their in the ööööhouse. Same with Pitt and Cuse.

I have no hate for VT and Clemson in bowl selection. They travel well regardless of their season. Because of that they get better bowl selections. And those better bowls draw more interest, so it is a positive feedback loop.

I agree. GT is somewhat popular in the NE - to the extent that anything college football related can be.
