From ND ath. dept person re UM bowl

Submitted by SpreadGuru on
It will be UM vs Va Tech in Sugar. Heard it here first. The reason ND knows is that it throws FSU out of ND's bowl game.

Danny Sheridan tweeted the same matchup about an hour ago, so this is interesting confirmation (of a sort).  I don't think anyone was predicting this.

I was trying to work what this means for the other bowls in my head, and this is what I came up with:

NCG: LSU-Bama

Orange: Clemson-WVU

Fiesta: Okie St-Stanford

Rose & Sugar... well that's been established. 

This would also mean TCU did not get into the top 16. Law school deduction power FTW

Most experts seem to think that the whole Virginia tech thing is a rumor. Not going to be eligible and probably not going to be picked anyway.

Belk Bowl?

Back in my day, bowl games had proper names like the Poulan Weedeater Independence Bowl. What in God's name is a Belk?

ACC is terrible. Glad we're in Sugar but Va Tech is not as interesting to me as a bunch of other teams. Mostly because a bunch of other teams don't suck.

Note to M coaches: study Clemson film. Copy.
