I doubt it'll be them. I think WSU or Utah are more likely. I'd like to see Coach and Rick Leach on opposite sides of the field for the first time. Talk about a chess match!Don't want USC this time.

God. I remember the last time we did this. Ruined my New Years Eve...CBS sports has GT playing Utah in the Sun Bowl. Seems likely.
Not sure what you mean by "we settle." Do they offer either/or bowls?All good stuff. I get it. I'd rather be in a major than a minor, that's all. Too often, we settle.
But again, I get it. Thx.
Notre Dame gets the Orange Bowl. Because.The way I see it if I read the tie ins correctly.
Playoffs - Clemp
Orange - FSU?
Citrus - VT?
Belk - UNC
Sun - Miami
Pinstripe - Pitt?
Music/Taxslayer - Louisville / GT
Military - Louisville / GT
Independence - NCST / Wake
Quicklane - NCST / Wake
St Petersburg
Looking like our options will be Sun, Pinstripe, or Military with outside shot at Belk. We really need Clemson to win and get in playoff so FSU goes to Orange. I think the players would love a trip to NYC.

Why do you say UNC is a lock for the belk? They are 1-2 in their last three games with losses to duke and North Carolina state.These are just my thoughts based on the selection criteria. It is assuming a Clemp win over VT, but not a blow out that would cause VT to tumble. FSU will be the highest ranked team next to Clemp so they should go to the Orange. UNC is a lock on the Belk. The Sun takes a southern team....UM. If the Citrus takes VT. the other two Tier one games are the Pinstripe and Music / Taxslayer. Pitt will be the next "choice" team.....my guess is the go to NYC based on location. The only question is how far Louisville tumbles after their Kentucky loss. If we are viewed better than Louisville, we might slide in ahead of them, especially if it is the Taxslayer....if it goes Music, then Louisville is a logical choice. In that case we are the best team left for the Tier II bowls, and Military gets first choice which would put us in Annapolis.....I don't think we go any lower than that.

This would be the best case scenario for GT imo.I think GT will be a good fit in the Belk after beating UGA as we traveled well to both of the ACC Championship Games in Charlotte. This is where I want to go and believe the Yellow Jackets will show up and Swarm the stadium.
Well, okay. But I still unclear as to your meaning. Are you suggesting we turn down a bowl, or play the season with a bigger bowl in mind? Because I don't think you get the option on the first, and on the second, I am pretty sure they do that now and a couple of Orange Bowls would push that argument."Settling" means we accept what we are offered rather than striving for more.
The number of bowls has doubled in the past ten years. We have all sorts of lower tier bowls now ... The Pinstripe Bowl, the Russell Athletic Bowl, the Go Daddy Bowl, etc.
There are ten bowls that really matter and I'd like to strive to be in one of those. Just saying "We've been in a bowl each year for the last 10 years" is not as much an accomplishment as it used to be because almost anyone with a winning record is going to one.
Just saying.

Belk bowl has a history of taking very local teams. UNC, if they don't go to the Gator, is a login choice. If the Gator picks UNC, I can see us in the Belk against Arkansas.Belk bowl will always take a Carolina team when they have a chance, unfortunately.

From everything I gave heard the Belk takes a NC team if available..Why do you say UNC is a lock for the belk? They are 1-2 in their last three games with losses to duke and North Carolina state.
