Well that would be nice!


Jun 29, 2012, 3:16 PM

Guess the OB will never be picked as a semi or champ game lol

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

i cant be reading this right


Jun 29, 2012, 3:16 PM

so is that saying when the orange bowl is a semifinal, acc automatically gets a playoff spot? that doesn't seem correct and wouldn't be fair. couldn't other conferences do the same thing with the other bowls? i think either i or joe schad is just confused

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

that's how im reading it too...


Jun 29, 2012, 3:22 PM

i think joe is confused

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I read it as when the OB is one of the semi-finalist games,


Jun 29, 2012, 3:24 PM [ in reply to i cant be reading this right ]

the ACC will go to *A* BCS type game...somewhere? Yeah I think he is confused as I am.

It is NOT saying the ACC champ in the Orange Bowl...just


Jun 29, 2012, 3:24 PM

in a BCS game.

Re: It is NOT saying the ACC champ in the Orange Bowl...just


Jun 29, 2012, 3:32 PM

ok, so what does that mean then? we cant force a non-playoff BCS bowl to take us. would the orange bowl have to have two games? (like the year when they are the national championship game as well)

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

We would play in another BCS game, not the Orange.***

Jun 29, 2012, 3:39 PM

without another bowl signing on to that agreement, how can the orange bowl force them to take us?

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

I dunno. Maybe Notre Dame worked it out for us.

i thought there was no more"BCS"???

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

BCS equivalent level game. Just not called BCS


Jun 29, 2012, 3:37 PM

championship.

flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

So, if the Orange is one of the Semi-Finals along with, say


Jun 29, 2012, 4:04 PM

the Rose, and we were ACC Champs and were not selected for the 4-team playoff, and thus could not play in the Orange, then we would be guaranteed a slot in either the Sugar or the Fiesta, regardless of where we were ranked.

Yes it is, in all years they don't host a semi final....


Jun 29, 2012, 4:42 PM [ in reply to It is NOT saying the ACC champ in the Orange Bowl...just ]

..the ACC champ goes to Orange (unless the ACC champ is in the playoff, in which case the next best ACC team goes).

Pretty simple.

The years teh Orange DOES host, the ACC champ (if not in playoff) will go to another of the now 6 "BCS/Champ series" bowl games.

The ACC came out pretty well in this.

There's no such thing as a stupid question, just stupid people who ask questions.


I sure hope you're correct but when

Swofford is involved, we usually get screwed.

Re: Football Update: Joe Schad reports ACC deal


Jun 29, 2012, 8:27 PM

imo its implying the 2semifinal games will be played amongst a yearly rotation of specified "BCS caliber type bowls"(orange bowl is included), and the ACC champion will be in the orange bowl on a yearly basis unless one of the semifinals games happens to be in the orange bowl that year...in this case, if the ACC champ didnt qualify to be a semifinals participant when its the orange bowls turn to host the semifinals, they are still guaranteed to be in one of the other "BCS caliber bowls" that hosts semifinal games, but just isnt hosting it that particular year...so as long as the ACC champ is still ranked in the top 12 they get to play in a top tier bowl, whether its their normal orange bowl or an off-rotation semifinal bowl.

this sounds like great news to me:) i like the sound of these tie ins so far:)
