Screw job part 2: Bowl selection

[a5ehren]

No thanks to playing Tulane. They're legit.

 

[iceeater1969]

Florda vs gt in Birmingham would attract lots of fans and have lots of tv talking angles.

Especially hype about TWO 2025 up and coming teams , WITH GT A GOOD PICK TO BE ACC CHAMP.

Please not Shreveport again.

Latest projections are:

McMurphy and 247 have Fenway vs Tulane
Jerry Palmhas Independence vs Army
Athletic has Birmingham vs Vanderbilt
Athlon has Sun vs Washington

Don't think anyone else's are updated.

Decent consensus amongst them that Miami to Pop Tarts, Duke to Gator, Clemson to Holiday and Syracuse to Sun (except Athlon having us there).

Duke Mayo projections are all over the place but Minnesota seems to be the Big Ten team. I've seen VT, NC State and Louisville all projected there. VT and NC State would be a ticket sales thing. After this, there is no knowledge or consensus at all.

Duke to the Gator Bowl is a tragedy. They picked up 4 of their 9 wins in the first four games against garbage teams and got boat raced by Miami.

Duke Mayo is what we're seeing up here too however Michigan stirred the pot by beating O-H-I-O State. The other (before Michigan win) is Nashville but historically the Music City Bowl committee has not liked us. We traveled very well in 2004 and beat 'Bama but must have offended somebody along the way. Our band did play Rocky Top at halftime...might have confused them as the Vols were not playing. We also play The Battle Hymn of the Republic. Might have rubbed the wrong way on that too.

The problem is you beat Bama. That puts you in SECheat jail.

Vandy would be so fun

I want no part of Vandy. Playing against their offense is like playing against a CPJ's offense on steroids!

 

[a5ehren]

Any SEC team in Bham is fine with me. Easy trip for Tech fans, and their new stadium is supposed to be nice.

 

[TooTall]

I've been to Fenway, it was cool to tour for the history. But I would not want to watch any sporting event there if you are over 5'10, the seats are incredibly tight.

AMEN and preach it brother!

 

[jgtengineer]

Birmingham would be a really great story for key against an sec team as well as those wins means more

 

[jgtengineer]

Adding to myself It being Dec 27th also means that its after Christmas but before new years but it is on a friday. That means i could in theory make that bowl as its a day trip from atlanta.

This has been a good year for Ga Tech football we have a chance to win 8 games and we beat 2 top 10 teams this year and had a chance to beat Georgia. Look at recruiting my friends, how sweet it is

Oddly enough, in this thread we see comments about not wanting to play X, Y or Z bc they are "legit" or "good" or "whatever". What in the actual **** is this? Key and the team ain't skeered. How many times do we have to beat teams (or take them into 8 OT's) when we are double digit underdogs to convince some of you that we too have a damn fine football team and staff that can compete with anyone? Seriously. I get that we have been beaten down over time. But this coach and these players don't share that. I say let's get into the CFP and play THOSE guys. We could and would compete in that arena. With those teams. Times have changed on the Flats ladies and gentlemen. Deal with it.

And what does “skibidi” even mean?

 

[bke1984]

I’m much more interested in the name brand of the opponent than I am in the destination. I’d like to play an SEC or B1G team and win.

Bring them on. I want GT playing in marquee games EVERY Saturday unless the New Year's bowls are on a weekday.

fsu was awesome. I hate the Benz, but this game would have been ok if we weren't sitting on Philo and trying to play a crippled Pyron. Miami was outstanding. 55ish mins of the mutt game were phenomenal. Hard to argue against the 7 OTs, needed to skip #8 and go to #9.

People like playing dook? weak florist? I get the urge to smack down the clown, etc and we can't just duck conference games but those patsy directional games are worthless except for 1 tune up to get the 3rd stingers some live action. Did anyone really enjoy stomping VMI? Damn for our bowl we should be clamoring for a&m, usce, lsu, Michigan, uf, etc. To hell with going to some bowl to play Tulane, Army, Navy, Vandy, etc just so we can win. I want us to lace it up against a team that would mean something if we beat them.

We want future NFL players, well play a schedule that will get them ready.

Bro, I took your question to the streets. I am a math tutor for some of the middle and high schoolers in my hood. Apparently you have asked a tricked question! I (we) need to know if you are talking about "sigma skibidi rizz" or "Ohio sigma rizz"? Apparently the question you asked depends on context. I (we) await your response.

Where does this come from? Vandy ranks 32nd in OFEI compared to our 23rd. They average 26.7 PPG and 319 YPG compared to our 29.1 and 427. They ran for 139/game and we ran for 187/game. Vandy is not scary at all.

Well, you know, they are seC, so there's that...

This may be your most cringe post ever
