Do we or don't we get the Orange Bowl invite?

We do. I feel confident about it.***

Only if NIU loses Friday night.

Against Bowling Green? We better start packing for CFB.

That is not the case....


Dec 2, 2013, 2:35 PM [ in reply to Re: Do we or don't we get the Orange Bowl invite? ]

the at-large teams, which will likely include UCF and Northern Illinois, as well as Bama, Clemson, etc....are all eligible to be picked. The Orange Bowl has the first pick and will take Bama. The Rose, Sugar and Fiesta then take the Pac 12, SEC, and Big 12 champs. The Rose also gets the Big Ten selection since this assumes Ohio St. is in the national championship. Then it goes back to the Orange and they can take any at-large team left. They would pick Clemson, leaving the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls to pick Central Florida and Northern Illinois.

The games that matter this weekend are FSU/Duke and Ohio St./Michigan St. If FSU or Ohio St. lose, then we don't go to the Orange Bowl. If they both win, we will likely go, unless a team like Oregon gets selected ahead of us or we fall out of the top 14.

Northern Illinois is irrelevant...this time.

UCF is AQ, where was Oregon in your scenerio***

They are in there at the end......


Dec 2, 2013, 2:47 PM

they could certainly get picked ahead of Clemson.
I'm sure the Orange Bowl would be pleased with Bama-Oregon or Bama-Clemson. Especially compared to UCF and Northern Illinois in the Sugar and Fiesta bowls.
I do think that the national appeal of a Bama/Oregon matchup may be difficult to pass up. ESPN would like that one a lot. But the city of Miami might prefer Bama/Clemson.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

And UCF is an AQ....


Dec 2, 2013, 2:48 PM

but they don't get any special treatment in the selection process, which is why they will be picked later.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Re: And UCF is an AQ....


Dec 2, 2013, 2:54 PM

One would think that UCF would sell a lot of tickets to the Orange Bowl, being in the same state, and being first BCS appearance.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

we do unless Duke beats FSU***


Dec 2, 2013, 2:11 PM



badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Hopefully we don't.***


Dec 2, 2013, 2:14 PM



2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

You would rather play A&M? I think Bama is a better matchup


Dec 2, 2013, 2:16 PM

as far as our talents vs theirs.

The idea of playing a mobile QB like Manziel is scary.

we played three really strong teams and lost badly to two of them. Saturday could have helped use get there but instead we vapor locked. Time will tell.

Re: Do we or don't we deserve to get the Orange Bowl invite?


Dec 2, 2013, 2:52 PM

Until the system changes next year, I would say that you are deserving. Not Clemson's fault how it's set up. The only other "eligible" team that might be more deserving is Baylor.

Re: Do we or don't we get the Orange Bowl invite?


Dec 2, 2013, 2:21 PM

I sure feel we do!! by far the second best team in the ACC

Re: Do we or don't we get the Orange Bowl invite?


Dec 2, 2013, 2:49 PM

Several million = 13 million. That's a significant difference... Although I believe it gets split with the entire conference after our travel expenses are compensated.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Assuming Ohio St. wins, I think we will. If Ohio St. loses,


Dec 2, 2013, 2:26 PM

then with Michigan St. taking the Rose, Auburn in the National Championship, Clemson would be bumped by Ohio State in the at-large pool.

i don't think we end up in top 14


Dec 2, 2013, 2:28 PM

so won't matter

Why not? We are #13 now, and are likely to move up


Dec 2, 2013, 2:29 PM

anywhere from 1-3 spots after this week's games.

Baylor could also be an issue ...


Dec 2, 2013, 2:38 PM [ in reply to i don't think we end up in top 14 ]

.. if they beat Texas this week, finishing 11-1.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

It is possible that Okl and UCF could jump ..


Dec 2, 2013, 2:44 PM [ in reply to i don't think we end up in top 14 ]

.. past Clemson. They are within range, and have a game left. I don't think it's likely though.

Arizona St and Michigan St are probable to lose...***

guaranteed that you will finish in the top 14.

NO.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I have doubts... here's I see it shaking out...


Dec 2, 2013, 3:05 PM

Rose: Mich St vs Stanford
Sugar: Ohio St vs Alabama
Fiesta: Northern Ill vs Oklahoma St
Orange: Baylor vs Oregon

Championship: FSU vs Auburn/Missouri winner (Ohio State will lose to Mich St)
