There's some interesting matchups in those projections.

I have to wonder how good Memphis is. I haven't heard any thing about them this year.

edit : They're 9-3. That's a pretty good record.

I wonder if the Military bowl would wait til next week to see if Navy becomes bowl eligible.

Boy is it an expensive PITA to travel to NYC on bowl notice. Looks like $700 or so a person flying. $650 or so a person on Amtrak if you want something more than a seat. I don't know if we've yet come up with a dollar conversion for the pain and suffering of traveling on I-95 anywhere between Richmond, VA and Maine. Probably damn near $100 in tolls each way though.

Set your GPS to "avoid tolls" - it will add a few minutes, but save all that money. Try this:

I've seen it written elsewhere that VT is going to be playing Kentucky in the Mayo bowl. That would be a pretty good bowl. Things look pretty even except they beat Louisville in their last game and VT got blown out by them. If that's the match up, I hope we win.

Unless something has changed that I haven't seen published, that is not how the bowl tie-ins work for the ReliaQuest Bowl. It will be the SEC versus B1G. However, if a team from the B1G plays in the Orange Bowl, the ACC/ND takes the B1G's spot in the ReliaQuest Bowl. The only options are SEC vs B1G or SEC vs ACC/ND.

Another site that has a flawed ReliaQuest projection is ESPN. Bonagura has a team from the B1G in the Orange Bowl. This would mean the ACC would take their place in ReliaQuest.

Here are the projections.

Capital One Orange Bowl
Hard Rock Stadium (Miami Gardens, Florida)
4 p.m., ESPN and the ESPN App
Bonagura: Louisville vs. Ohio State
Schlabach: Louisville vs. Ohio State

ReliaQuest Bowl
Raymond James Stadium (Tampa, Florida)
Noon, ESPN2 and the ESPN App
Bonagura: Wisconsin vs. LSU
Schlabach: Notre Dame vs. LSU

If there is a team from the B1G in the Orange Bowl, there won't be one in the ReliaQuest Bowl. So, Ohio State in the Orange and Wisconsin in the ReliaQuest would not happen.

New Brett McMurphy ACC Bowls Projections: (Dec 2, 2023)

Outstanding Issues for the ACC

- Notre Dame: Will the Irish end up in the ReliaQuest Bowl? If so, will the Irish face LSU in the Brian Kelly Bowl or Tennessee, if the SEC sends the Tigers to the Gator Bowl instead?

-Miami: The Hurricanes finished only 7-5, but they might be one of the nation’s most coveted bowl teams. Who wins the battle for Miami? It’s a battle royale between the Pinstripe and Sun Bowls.

Yes.

So Louisville won’t get an NY6 bowl. The ACC won’t get Reliaquest bowl either.

Not good.

Is ND in the Orange bowl still off the table? Rather they get OB money than a SEC or BigTen.
