In an effort to conjoin multiple thoughts…

Clemson, Miami, Texas, Kentucky and SMU all win next week.

GT beats ugag and ugag loses to Texas in the SECCG.

The ACC gets three teams in: Miami, SMU and Clemson.

And the SEC just gets Texas and likely their best 3 loss team (no idea whom?)

GT then becomes the ACCs top non-CFP bowl team. What would that bowl projection be?

Did some snooping around and this is the best I could find. The ACC, like the SEC, negotiates among multiple “First Tier” bowls to get the matchups with the most interest, rather than having a true pecking order like the B1G or B12. I’d say most likely then is Gator Bowl, Mayo Bowl, or ReliaQuest Bowl.

After FSU I had dreamed of Gator bowl. Then King got hurt in unc game. Now we are having to go with true freshman and still talkjng Gator bowl?

Gator Bowl hates us, Mayo will want a NC team, probably Duke over us, Reliaquest is B10 v SEC.

More likely we end up in SD or Yankee stadium

I bet it will be Duke's Mayo. They would ideally want an NC team, but they won't want UNC (they were in it last year and they aren't very good) or 6-6 NC State. Thus, it will likely come down to Duke and us (Miami/SMU loser, Clemson, and LVille will presumably all be off the board by then). I could be wrong about this, but I think we'll draw more to CLT than Duke would, so I think they'd pick us.

I’ll preface this with I’m completely sober…

If Tech beats ugag with a healthy-ish King, that would give us 3 top 10 wins. I don’t believe anyone else has more than 1.

If logic can be used to hold a team out of the playoffs due to loss of a key player (2023 free shoes), why can the same logic not apply to forgive a loss or two during the regular season when that team was not themselves?
