N.C. State vs. South Carolina, Belk Bowl (Charlotte): When these teams played in Week 1, it was one of the best games of the season. So now a repeat, and potentially in N.C. State coach Dave Doeren’s last game with the Wolfpack? Bring on round two.
Florida State vs. Texas A&M, Walk-On’s Independence Bowl (Shreveport, La.): Yes, even at 5-6, they’re in. After starting the season No. 3 in the country, this year has been a disaster for coach Jimbo Fisher and FSU. But their talent is undeniable, and they’ll end up in a bowl as a result. Against Texas A&M, where Fisher may be offered the head coaching job, is a perfect fit (and story).
Would be so funny to see the first have to play each other again and the FSU vs A&M is just poetic justice!
