QCH is lovin' that.

I guess these folks aren't worried about the ACC raiding the Big East to expand the conference.

what a snoozer...What the 5th place ACC vs thr 5th place Big East?

ITs the former Seattle Bowl which I think GT played in this year. What rank were they?

 

[BearBryant]

not sure...I wonder why they did not get an SEC team? Seems more logical. Must be because the SEC would have to send the 7th or 8th team here because of other tie-ins.

SEC/ACC would be better. You don't think they're keeping the Peach Bowl people off their backs, do you?

 

[BearBryant]

maybe...bu the SEC/ACC has always been pretty good for the Peach and I doubt they would screw that up for some bowl that will probably be gone after a year.

I think it's a matter of the quality of team they would get from the SEC. We are talking 8th or 9th best team here.

When I saw the article, I was thinking the same thing...I'm guessing BC vs. Maryland/GT this year maybe? Don't hold me to that....LOL

After FSU, there are no guarantees in the ACC this year.
