We have already earned a victory over fsu on the field?

Or UM did not beat us on the field?

Or the only OOC game that mattered on the field was Presby.

Okie Dokie champ.

I believe this is because we haven't formally filed the waiver yet. No reason to do so unless we lose the ACCCG. Unless people are saying there is no waiver.

Don't the bowls get announced on Sunday? I would assume that the issue of the waiver will be determined this week before the conference championships are played. There might not be an announcement until it officially becomes an issue, but I doubt that our bowl eligibility will be decided on Sunday morning just before the choosing begins.

If nothing else, the NCAA should give us a waiver to be able to practice. That's one of the big benefits of a bowl game.

Lately the latter has been the only benefit ... :-/

Would be nice if the extra practice helped our team rather than just our opponents

meaningless. governors trophy is useful only to take a dump in on a road trip.

acc hardware worth more.

Sad to say nowadays but Beestorm right.

I think we need the bowl practice more than we need the ACC game. Frankly, the rule against 6-7 teams is awful, if the 7th loss is in a conference championship game. We beat Duke, we have the same record. They get a bowl because we had to play FSU. Anyone who thinks this is a fair rule isn't thinking straight. Come on Swofford, help the NCAA get this right.

Let's just give the ACC title to FSU and let fans with tickets in Charlotte watch highlights on the big screen of UNC and Duke basketball championships. They would get a bigger crowd and North Carolinians would have a far better time.

Well at least Tech will be playing the Big East Champion in the Orange Bowl if they win. Those teams are loaded with little people too!

Kent State more likely.

That's A FACT! Always New Years night, winding up the major lineup New Years Day. Many epic contests deciding #1 after upsets earlier in the day. Orange Bowl almost gave up unanimous / concensus MNC New Years Day 1991.

BCS with ACC tie in has relegated it to an off New Years Day 2nd tier interest rivaling the Gator Bowl.

Here's an update, per @Warchant_DC:

Didn't they hear we lost the UGA game? All is lost. Might as well tear the place down and build a parking lot.
