Word is also no one wanted Louisville To add to this there were 2 major bowl selection shifts that happened. It was expected before everything went down that Louisville was locked into the orange bowl as acc champion or highest ranked acc team if fsu went to the playoff. FSU getting left out bumped them down. Next, Georgia losing but staying ahead of Ohio state meant that the orange bowl had to select Georgia instead of Ohio state. The bowl tie in for the bowl LSU is in (old outback bowl I think?) flips from ACC to Big 10 if an SEC team goes to the orange bowl. Before all this went down it was expected that Louisville would face OSU in the orange bowl and notre dame would face LSU for tv drama.
