Kentucky is going to be the belle of the ball come bowl-selection time because the Wildcats are going to send 40,000 fans wherever they go. That’s why I shipped them to Arizona rather than Atlanta, so the Fiesta Bowl didn’t get stuck with Wake Forest, which might sell 37 tickets. Ohio State (or Penn State) will help compensate in Atlanta.
Peach vs Ohio St
Such a lame excuse

Keep in mind TheAthletic's experts left Wake out of their made up conference realignment before the season started.
College football experts like Mandel know about a few power programs and a few coaches and top players at other schools and maybe their region. They don't know about the whole college football landscape. I certainly wouldn't expect one to know that Wake gets better than expected bowl bids because our fans travel well and spend a lot of money.
