[QUOTE="slugboy, post: 980098, member: 282"] The ACC has only a limited role. The commissioner is not campaigning for us to go to the “lowest bowl”, or else we’d get the Birmingham or Gasparilla bowls like many fans want. If we don’t get Charlotte or the Gator Bowl, it’s because they preferred another team. We can campaign and influence, but what bowl we get is more related to how bowls perceive us than insidious ACC politics. Bowl committees might be wrong about our attendance. However, it’s in the ACCs best interest to put as positive a spin as possible on the entire conference—including us. Charlotte doesn’t pick NC teams because the ACC tells them to; it’s their preference. If we had one more win, we’d be in a warm climate for the bowl. But, as it is, we get a bowl. Barely qualifying for a bowl is what we did, which limits which bowl we will get, and we still get a tier 1 ACC bowl (in New York, probably) EDIT: we went 6-6, which is barely bowl eligible. And some are complaining that we aren’t getting our first choice of bowl games. In CPJs last game, we got passed over for the Mayo bowl, the Pinstripe bowl, and the Military bowl, and played in Detroit. That was a shaft. This is just going 6-6. [/QUOTE]
