[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 342477, member: 2426"] For bowl eligibility only one FCS win can count. Bowls get creative with numbers, so if GT is 8-4, they could say that the second FCS game doesn't count and GT only has 7 counting games which could allow lower ranked teams from the ACC to skip over GT. In the 2010 Gator Bowl(2009) season, Florida State was selected over Clemson even though the rules clearly stated that an ACC team has to be within one win of the next available ACC team to jump over them. FSU was two wins below Clemson. The Gator Bowl got creative and said that once every four years they were required to take the ACC Championship Game loser. Since they had taken GT in the 2007 Gator Bowl(2006 season), the didn't have to take Clemson(the ACC Championship loser). They just decided to ignore the within one game rule. Playing two FCS teams would hurt GT's strength of schedule, probably worse than skipping the game. I want GT to be 10-1 or 11-1 and in the playoff picture. I think 11-1 with two FCS wins would hurt more than 10-1 with one FCS win. [/QUOTE]
