Mandel's new bowl projections

[BigEastBeasts]

In regards to bowl/opponent, I feel if we play in NC, we will be basically playing a road game with very lopsided support. NC State, Clemson and Ga Tech will all travel extremely well and more than likely snap up whatever tickets are made available to the general public.

So do we wait for the Bulls Club to notify season ticket holders for tix?

I would, just because its not even guaranteed that Meineke is the Bowl we will be in, plus whatever they offer will more than likely be part of the allotment given to the school, hence being around fellow Bulls rather that surrounded by opposing fans.

Clemson is actually closer to Charlotte than NC State is.

Sorry to say, but the USF team that played at UConn would get crushed if that game were to happen at that location.

Am I missing something? They're giving Louisville the # 2 Big East ranking even though USF beat them, and have the same league record?  

They're projecting a UL win over UCONN and a USF loss to WVU.  That's consistent with the lines.  I hope we win, but remember the gator bowl gets the # 2 BE CHOICE.  They don't have to actually pick the #2 team in the league, the gator just gets first dibs after the BCS team.  The only exception would be if we had 2 wins more than UL as well, and we already know we wont have that criteria.

Even if we are #2 in the league, don't expect to see us get picked 2nd for a bowl.

Gator has already chosen Louisville.

The only choice for us is Charlotte or another nonBE aligned Bowl

Louiville is going to gator bowl already..they accepted..even if they may not be number 2..do they really care how they play against UCONN

If they want any hope of ending the season in the top 25

Coaches get paid bonuses based on conference standings top 25 finishes etc

I think all this bowl chosing should be done AFTER the seasons are finished. Then let the war begin. It's all about the money. It is surprising to not see the NCAA Brand Nazi's not involved in this money scheme. Oh Wait! They are all getting bonuses from them. That's right. It's ok then.  :-X   Reaper

how come the insight bowl got to pick before the meineke bowl? are they the third pick?
