Inspired by hiveredtech's "If the 10 year bowl streak is so easy" thread --I did some bowl research.
As already stated, GT is tied with UGA for 5th longest active bowl streak.
GT is 5-5 in bowls over this stretch.
The current ACC bowl tie-ins and GT in those bowls:
BCS Bowl -none
Gator Bowl (1-2)
Peach (0-1)
Champs Sports (Carquest) (2-0)
Music City -none
Meineke Car Care -none
Emerald (San Francisco) (0-1)
MPC Computers (Humanitarian) (1-0)
discontinued bowls-
Silicon Valley (0-1)
Seattle (1-0)
GT has had six appearances (3-3) in the top four ACC tie-ins.
GT has had four appearances (2-2) in the lower four ACC tie-ins (note: not certain if the SV bowl was an ACC tie-in --GT was the only ACC team to play in it).
10 years of the ACC in bowls (note: I include all of UM, VT and BC's bowl appearances over the 10 years):
BCS bowl: FSU 6, UM 4, VT 2, WF 1, MD 1
Gator: VT 4, GT 3, FSU 2, CU 1, MD 1, UM 1, UNC 1, NCSt 1
Peach: CU 3, UM 2, GT 1, MD 1, UNC 1, UVA 1, VT 1
Champs Sports: NCSt 4, CU 2, GT 2, MD 1, UM 1, UVA 1
Music City: BC 1, CU 1, UVA 1, VT 1
Meineke Car Care: BC 2, UVA 2, NCSt 1
Emerald: BC 1, FSU 1, GT 1, VT 1
MPC Computers: BC 1, CU 1, GT 1, UM 1, UVA 1
Silicon Valley: GT 1
Seattle: GT 1, WF 1
ACC appearances in BCS, Gator, Peach & Champs Sports:
FSU 8, UM 8, VT 7, CU 6, GT 6, NCSt 5, MD 4, UNC 3, UVA 1, WF 1, BC 0, DU 0
ACC appearances in Music City, Meineke Car Care, Emerald, MPC Computers, Silicon Valley & Seattle:
BC 5, UVA 5, GT 4, CU 2, VT 2, FSU 1, UM 1, NCSt 1, WF 1, DU 0, MD 0, UNC 0
note:
BC has also been to the Insight.com, Aloha and Motor City Bowls
MD has also been to the Independence Bowl
UNC has also been to the Las Vegas Bowl
UVA has also been to the Oahu Bowl
VT as also been to the Insight .com Bowl
WF has also been to the Aloha Bowl
Total bowl appearances over the last 10 years:
10- FSU, GT, VT
9- UM
8- BC, CU
7- UVA
6- NCSt
5- MD
4- UNC
3- WF
2- none
1- none
0 -DU
I was just kind of so-so on GT's 10 year bowl stretch --happy to be in 10 straight bowls --thought that some of the bowls were second-tier --mindset that there are too many bowls.
I can say that this research has changed my outlook on the bowl streak --GT trails only FSU, UM and VT in ACC top-tier bowl appearances --GT is one of three ACC schools to appear in 10 straight bowls.
The negative to this is no appearances in a BCS bowl --FSU, UM and VT predictably lead that category with MD and WF getting there once a piece --GT belongs up in this group over WF --CU fans probably feel the same way GT fans do.
