The only way I see this happening is
1) Two sunbelt teams are ranked and the schedule works in our favor that there aren’t any other compelling matchups that week (or it involves a team that has already hosted game day that year?) or
2) NC state or whoever we have on the OOC schedule is ranked when they come to Boone. Bonus points for us being ranked

Why do we go through this every year?

Gotta find some way to kill time until the "Any chance ESPN puts us in the Belk Bowl?" threads start.

Won’t happen because ESPN doesn’t care one bit about G5 teams/conferences. All GameDay is anymore is a venue for discussion of the P5 teams playing that Saturday, that’s it.
