For the second time!

It’s a long thread

I'm not sure why y'all think the Holiday Bowl is a downgrade from the Gator Bowl. They are basically equivalent in 2024. In recent years passed the holiday bowl has been a bigger game. San Diego is a lot farther to go but either way Syracuse is traveling. They didn't get shafted in any way or form.

They beat us on the field in a game that wasn't close

Without our QB. If you want to play that game, we beat Duke…

Holiday was going to select Clemson before they got in playoffs. It’s still one of the better places to go.

Problem is, with no real P12 this year, the bowl game is no longer a good bowl this year. Wazzou went 8-4, and lost to Oregon State. That game will be a max of 10,000. The “new” P12 isn’t really good on paper going forward either.

B-ham Bowl vs Arky or OU will be a sellout.

Outstanding. Bravo.

Duke went 9-3 though. How are you missing that data point? Bowls only care about W/L records.

Games are played on the field. Bowl committees aren't digging into what the roster was when GT played VT.

The committee picks based off of record and head to head.

Birmingham is fine. It’s not the top tier for the conference, but it’s a good game against a good opponent, and it’s close to home.

If it is a noon kick, we likely will drive over the night before.
A 3:30 kick, we may get up that day and go. Probably stay in Columbus on the drive back.

Duke went 9-3 though. How are you missing that data point? Bowls only care about W/L records.

And VT went 6-6 and we went 7-5 if you want to play that game. Can’t have it both ways.

UNC gets a better bowl than GT, ACC bowls snubbing Georgia Tech is for real!

They were 3 or 4 posts apart.

idk if I consider playing in a baseball stadium a better bowl game.

Isn't there one where there's a brick wall 2 ft beyond the field?

Who gives a shit?

If it ends up being OU, OU is a mess at QB. Starting QB Arnold is in the Portal. The PT starter who beat Auburn, but has accuracy issues would now be the starting QB again. Fast, but short QB.

Doesn’t it go by conference records? I thought they couldn’t take a team that finished 2 less wins than you?
