Screw job part 2: Bowl selection

[NorthAvenueNation]

Saw the announcement, ESPN hasn’t updated yet

College football bowl games, expanded playoff dates and times

With the expanded playoff, the 2024-25 bowl schedule is bigger and better than ever.

www.espn.com

Updated to playing Vanderbilt and game time is 3:30pm

 

[TooTall]

Just beat them into submission.

Further confirmation that neither Gator nor Mayo will EVER pick us.

That's on us. Beat Syracuse and UGA and GT looks far more attractive. Does the Gator Bowl even pick an ACC with less than 8-9 wins?

Updated to playing Vanderbilt and game time is 3:30pm

For folks traveling to the game it's 2:30P central time which is the time zone for Birmingham.

We played Kentucky there in 2016. Go 8-4 and we probably would have been selected.

Vandy. Yuck!!

Seems like one of those teams that if you beat, you should have and if you lose to, it’s an embarrassment.

 

[stinger78]

This does seem most likely to me as well based on what I’ve seen. VT to Charlotte at 6-6 instead of us would be our most legitimate complaint

Except we lost to VPI.

After 2016 J’ville powers that be said they wouldn’t invite us again because we found better nearby locations to spend our dining and hotel dollars than the pit that is J’ville. They accused us of not traveling well even with an 8-4 record.

How do they even know where tech fans ate and slept?????

Then why are you whining about not playing there?

They're used to sec fans. They count the number of arrests and multiply times 100 to guestimate the fanbase size. We don't measure up.

 

[57jacket]

Just glad to be bowling, and using exposure and extra practice toward building a great program.

I’m not. I said that they would never pick us, unlike what others think.

Not this year with them havgin a win over bama

I started this thread. I knew we'd get porked. We dodged Shreveport & the baseball stadiums, so we didn't get treated like a 6-6 team but the ACC message is basically the same. They will never advocate for us ever. We need out of this conference.

And just keep winning without pity party and we will be. "100-0 All Red" and now "Uga 8 OT". We are winners, so tell jokes.

Looking forward to heading to Birmingham. Only a 4 Hour drive from the house.

If anyone should feel like they are the recipient of a screw job, it would be Army. They went 11-1 (with the only loss being to a playoff team), win their conference, and they get the Whatever Independence Bowl in Shreveport against Marshall.
