Why would the Gator Bowl take Wake over Clemson?


Dec 5, 2021, 1:32 AM

The bowls get to pick, right? It's not tied to the final standings of the league, correct?

there used to be a "within 1 game" clause

even if that's still the case, Gator would take Clemson over Wake in a heartbeat.

Cheez-It Bowl selects before Gator Bowl.

Gator Bowl may be stuck with Wake Forest if Clemson is selected by Cheez-It Bowl.

That's my understanding as well: Cheezit Bowl has priority over Gator Bowl in choices. However, even when a Bowl has a priority, there appears to be some additional rules/understandings in play (e.g., if a school has played in the same bowl recently; some schools have a say as well, & may even want to play in a bowl that has a lower priority for a variety of reasons--never played in it before or recently, matchup with opponent is more desirable to school, and so on; etc.)
