Schlabach has Miami going to the Nashville bowl with Louisville dropping to Tier 2 and doing the Military Bowl. I can't really see that happening. Feel like Louisville is destined for either Nashville or Charlotte. If they go Charlotte, then UVA probably goes to Nashville and we are turfed to El Paso or NYC. If Nashville negotiates to keep Louisville, then we are the best option for Charlotte.
I read on twitter yesterday that we can´t go to the Belk Bowl for some reason this year. Anyone else read or hear this?
Link?
Please dear God no cowbells!
If Notre Dame makes it to a NY6 we may get Camping world
would Belk want ACC CG loser VT to play again in Charlotte?
would Belk want ACC CG loser VT to play again in Charlotte?
Seems like the Belk has a ton of potential conflict issues as the prime candidates appear to be WF (played in CLT in 2017 and will play next year), UVA (played in the Belk Bowl last year and may play in the ACCCG next week), VT (may play in the ACCCG next week). Are there any other ACC schools potentially in line for this bowl? L'ville?
I think the Belk is almost certain to get VPI or Louisville. They’ve made no qualms about wanting VPI if they don’t make the Orange Bowl (rightfully so - big fanbase, travels well, and not too far away).
Agreed that Belk isn’t likely to take UVA (played there last year) or Wake (played there two years ago and plays ND in Charlotte next season).
