Interesting bowl numbers for this year

[hiveredtech]

The numbers below represent the number of teams eligible for a bowl in each conference first, then the max number that could become eligible...and then the third number is the most likely number based on who will be favored. The fourth number shows the number of bowl tie-ins for the conference.

Bottom line, the Big-10, Big-12, and SEC will likely each leave 1 bowl open. The SEC could leave 2 if Tenn does not beat KY and VANDY. That is 3 or 4 open bowls...plus the 2 'at large' bowls.

Good to know the ACC will have as many tie-in's as the SEC and Big-12 next year...one more than the Big-10...two more than the Pac-10.

ACC- 8-10-8; 6 tie-in's; will need at least 2 more bowls
Big 10- 7-8-7; 7 tie-in's; should not need another bowl
Big 12- 7-10-7; 8 tie-in's; will likely leave 1 bowl open
Big East- 3-7-4; 4 tie-in's; should not need another bowl unless Notre Dame slips to the Gator.
Pac 10- 4-7-5; 6 tie-in's; will likely leave 1 bowl open
SEC- 6-7-7; 8 tie-in's; will likely leave 1 bowl open, 2 open if Tenn does not beat KY and VANDY
CFUSA- 3-8-5; 5 tie-in's; should not need another bowl
MTNWEST- 3-5-4; 3 tie-in's; whould need 1 more bowl
WAC- 4-4-4; 2 or 3 tie-in's; should need 1 or 2 bowls
MAC- 3-8-5; 1 or 2 tie-in's; should need 3 or 4 bowls.

We need to win a 7th game period. Then we can put this do we make a bowl or not stuff out of the way. Clemson won at Miami last year, there's no reason we can't shur down Kyle Wright and force him into some mistakes. Save VT this year and UGA in 2002, and we have competed on the the road under Gailey. See 2003 Florida State, UGA last year, etc.

I still feel better about UGA than Miami...mainly because Miami is peaking...and UGA plays at the same level all year every year. UGA does not seem to improve throughout.
