To put a bow on this week’s projections, here’s where all the various outlets have us:

Sports Illustrated: Holiday vs Washington
CBS: Military vs Memphis
247Sports: Mayo vs Michigan
Action Network: Sun vs USC
USA Today: Birmingham vs LSU
Sporting News: Sun vs USC
ESPN 1: Pinstripe vs Nebraska
ESPN 2: Mayo vs Nebraska
College Football News: Holiday vs Washington State
New York Times: Military vs Navy

So…in summary no one knows anything. Selfishly, the only two bowls I likely could make it to are the Birmingham or Gator. Birmingham vs LSU would be fun, though they surely would have half their team opting out. Looks like the Gator Bowl would require beating the dwags

Been a while since I visited but scuttle up here is we might get a rematch in the Mayo Bowl. Gives you guys a shot for redeeming the 2018 game in Detroit.

Waiting to see if we get The Axe back from Sconnie. Sorry Sheboygan but that's the goal. We'll see. Billd.

Would love a chance to redeem that game. CPJ was retiring and, for the only time in his tenure at GT, I felt like the effort just wasn’t there. Then we spent 4 years wandering in the desert under TFG.

Unlike 2018 we don't have a strong running game but passing game can be good. Gave the Nittanies a run for their money on Saturday but came up short. Great game to attend though even in losing. Good luck against those guys to the east...

Thanks. Yes, the thugs over at the CCCI (Clarke County Correctional Institute, otherwise known at UGAg) need a good shakedown. I am sure our guys will give them our best.

Soo, when will we know where the Jackets are headed? Today?
Speculations I've seen online are Fenway, Independence, or Pinstripe against Army, Tulane or Minnesota.

I recommend tuning out until it’s official.

Last year some twitter bozo said we were in the Birmingham Bowl late Sunday afternoon which turned out to be false.

We should know officially around dinner time.
