[QUOTE="CuseJacket, post: 490066, member: 274"] We are in good company. While it may feel like GT has gotten screwed historically come bowl selection time, it pales in comparison to Syracuse, Pitt, BC, etc. Those teams need something extra other than wins to get selected ahead of bigger football schools. With that pretext, my understanding is that the conferences are now able to push for certain teams to be selected to a bowl when the bowl may otherwise prefer a bigger name/bigger travel base. For example, Northwestern was pushed into the 2016 Outback Bowl based on the Big10's request for the bowl selection committee to not bypass a more deserving team and simply take the bigger name. So, I think Syracuse and Pittsburgh may get preference if the ACC steps in to assist. Pitt at least has a floor of the Sun Bowl, if that's still the rule. Both are more compelling national stories than us [U][I]as of today.[/I][/U][B][I] [/I][/B]Next weekend could reshape things. [/QUOTE]
