The weird thing about the Orange Bowl is that if Wake wants to still have any kind of a shot at it they have to lose this weekend to Clemson. If Wake were to beat Clemson then Clemson is not in the playoffs...so Clemson most likely gets the Orange Bowl slot. I believe if Clemson makes the playoff and no other ACC team is ranked by the committee the Orange Bowl has the freedom to choose whomever they want, I would think Miami would be a front runner for obvious reasons.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 9:36 pmHonestly it's not just bad for the G5s, it's bad for the bowls themselves. I'm not saying that Orange Bowl bid should go to a G5, but there will be plenty of teams in other P5 leagues that are way better than whoever the ACC sends to Miami.Boonegoon wrote: ↑Tue Nov 12, 2019 9:13 pmCertainly not fair but FBS has never been about fairness. Keep the money in the pockets of the big conferences.

All the specific conference tie-ins that send a "backup" team from the same league when the champion is in the CFP really water down the other games.
Also, Wake has lost that Surrat kid for the season, he's like the league's leading receiver.
