[QUOTE="bke1984, post: 270183, member: 932"] Not sure it would have mattered. Those tier 1 bowls are all handled at the league office in terms of most frequent trip, matchups, team preference, etc. Even if we'd won the division it doesn't look like we'd have made the Champs or Citrus and would still have landed in tier 1. Now before I say this, I'm extremely excited about the Gator Bowl (I'm not calling it Tax Slayer). At one point in the season I was a bit worried about becoming eligible, let alone landing in a solid Bowl like that... ...but what I find strange is how the Gator Bowl fell in prestige in the last 10 or so years. The Gator Bowl used to be the ACC's second selection. Now it's part of the tier 1 bowls that fall behind the Orange, Champs Sports, and (this year) Citrus. I guess it all comes down to money, but it's just strange to see a Bowl like that not maintain its status. Sun Bowl is similar I guess...I mean that thing is one of the oldest Bowl games in existence [/QUOTE]
