Official 2021 College Football Thread: It's September ! It's the South! It's Saturday
You don’t think we’d get a better bowl at 10 wins than seven wins? If anything we need a team like FSU or Louisville with large fan bases not to be bowl eligible or to have more than one loss below us so that we don’t lose out on the fan base argument at bowl selection time.
As you know, we don’t get picked for bowls based on the strength of schedule. We get picked based on number of wins combined with our profile/interest level to the bowl as a school and fanbase. I want to go to the best bowl possible, which means having the most wins possible, and our ACC competitors having the least wins possible.
Until we become candidates for the playoff and need out SOS to matter, I am never, ever going to want other ACC teams to win. Unless I have some sort of soft spot for them. But Florida State and Louisville? Please.
Wins and losses don’t matter for bowls as long as you get 7 wins.
We are competing to get ranked, for better TV slots, attention, etc. That’s not enough to root for UNC in a Coastal game, but it’s part of the calculus.
