Have at it- is this year we finally go to El Paso? What are the tea leaves saying?
He stopped by our tailgate for a few. He's a rep for the bowl who lives in the area.Saw one guy pre-game last night walking around with a Cheez-It blazer. Either he was drunk and had been to Goodwill or he was from the Cheez-It Bowl.
Are "bowl reps" still even a thing? Seems like with conference tie-ins there's not much "selection" to be done at the local bowl level any more. Back in the day, if a bowl made an offer to "select" your team, you had to commit to buying X number of tickets to the thing in order to get a bid. But let's say we end up in the Sun Bow based on conference tie-in; can the bowl "obligate" us to buy a certain number of tickets in order to participate?He stopped by our tailgate for a few.

Yes they can. We are required to buy x tickets.Are "bowl reps" still even a thing? Seems like with conference tie-ins there's not much "selection" to be done at the local bowl level any more.

🤮I saw one projection that had us in the Military Bowl against ECU, don't shoot the messenger.
Clawson said on his radio show that he told the team that the more wins we can get, the warmer will be the bowl game.We win against Duke and I feel sure that we will end up going west- to the Holiday or Sun. If we lose, who knows?
Seems like WF has played in the Military Bowl too many times. Nothing says reward for a good season like a trip to Maryland in late December.
That makes it Wake's 5th most recent different bowl. Wake's been to Charlotte twice since going to the Military Bowl. I think we're due.2008 (DC) and 2016 (Annapolis), so we're not due for a couple years. Maybe the location will change by then, too.
Clemson is going to the CFP if ND takes care of USC.That makes it Wake's 5th most recent different bowl. Wake's been to Charlotte twice since going to the Military Bowl. I think we're due.
Clemson should get the OB.
UNC, FSU, and ND will get the #2-4 slots (likely Gator, Cheez-It, and Holiday)
I'm guessing Duke or State gets Duke's Mayo. State hasn't been since 2015. Duke since 2015
Cuse/Pitt to Fenway/Pinstripe. Wake/Duke or State/Louisville going to Sun/Military/Gasparilla seems most likely.
The path for Clemson to the CFP is still very tough to cross.Clemson is going to the CFP if ND takes care of USC.
