if the Orange bowl takes ND would they do a rematch of VT or UVA?
That's definitely one of the variables that makes the Orange Bowl more problematic than a lot of bowl projections seem to think. Also, I saw on the ACC Network the studio guys (Mark Richt, EJ Manuel, etc.) talking about how ND might get the Orange Bowl, and if that happens then they couldn't see the next few bowls taking Wake over VT or Virginia. (They are clearly thinking that ND would take the ACC spot in the Orange Bowl, which is not how that works either...)
I will say if VT beats UVA and plays in the ACCCG then they do have the inside track to the Orange Bowl, but they'd still have one more loss than Wake and what if they just get reamed in the title game (like Clemson has done to everyone else)?
It's a very long shot, in my opinion, for us to get the Orange Bowl any more, but the one scenario that might work is for UVA to beat Tech on Friday, especially if they win by a couple of TDs or more, and then UVA get blown out by Clemson in the title game (i.e. they lose by about 48 points). In that scenario UVA and Va Tech each have four losses to Wakes three and the loss to UVA "might" knock Tech down the rankings just far enough to let Wake sneak ahead by winning its last two games. Highly unlikely, even if all that happens, but that is the one scenario I see that might work. So we all should be Wahoo fans on Friday.
This is, of course, if you're willing to sign up for a potential matchup with Georgia in that game, which at this point I'm like, "Why not?"
