[QUOTE="ibeattetris, post: 512307, member: 1175"] [URL]https://www.ajc.com/sports/college/how-georgia-tech-fell-the-quick-lane-bowl/j8F3RzX2rl8zj1K7Eu2F4I/[/URL] This is a sore spot =( Basically though, we are perceived to not be a traveling team. Other issues, Quick Lane Bowl takes teams from Carolinas and Virginia *way* more than other areas. Military Bowl would honestly have been stupid to not take VT with almost their entire alumni base there. It is our fault for not being 8-4 and forcing them to have to take us. Miami to Pinstripe is stupid because Miami is a *brand* (vomits under desk). They are going to get embarrassed while playing in the cold and I am going to enjoy every second of the 60 minutes of it. Moral of the story though, ACC has a rule where you cannot be jumped if you have two or more wins than other schools. Thus NCState and Syracuse were guaranteed a tier 1 and Pitt had to be because they played in ACC championship. All the other teams wasa 7-5 or 6-6 giving the bowls freedom to choose whomever they wanted. Unlike the SEC, the ACC does not have the final say in where the teams go. [/QUOTE]
