UConn to play Virginia Tech in Orange Bowl. Might as well have them play a rematch with JMU.

The BCS automatic bid system has no credibility. Well, as if the whole system did.

12/4/2010 11:22:28 PM

* TCU

12/4/2010 11:23:30 PM

^^you're wrong. acc automatically goes to the orange. the orange is not obligated to the big east anymore.

Well then I feel sorry for Arkansas/Oklahoma/OSU/TCU/Stanford

12/4/2010 11:25:01 PM

big east goes to fiesta doesnt it

12/4/2010 11:27:21 PM

no - big east has no tie in game. since uconn won, they will most likely go to the fiesta because fiesta has last choice and thus UConn will fall to them

12/4/2010 11:28:50 PM

They go to whoever draws the short straw which this year is the fiesta

12/4/2010 11:28:59 PM

Last pick goes to Fiesta.

The Orange very well may have taken WVU had they made it to set up Va Tech - WVU.

UConn becomes the fourth 4-loss team (and first outside of the ACC) to make it to the BCS. I agree the auto bid is stupid, but it's the system and it will be for the foreseeable future.

12/4/2010 11:29:02 PM

what are our chances of going to atlanta with the ACCCG blowout. i know there are reports of them already saying they would take the loser but with a bad loss and ponder in question do they change their mind?

12/4/2010 11:38:12 PM

^pretty confident it will be us vs. WVA in Champs

12/4/2010 11:51:19 PM

i'm pretty excited at the prospect of va tech vs. stanford

12/5/2010 6:11:34 AM

^ I would like to see that! What's our bowl going to be?! Who will be the first to post it?!?!

12/5/2010 11:47:55 AM

still wish we could have had a wisconsin/stanford rose bowl

word out of the orange bowl camp is that they may use the "finesse clause" in their contract to take unc, which would be detrimental to our champs bowl chances

you heard it here first

in all seriousness, i would still rather play nd than wvu

according to cbs, fla st has already accepted an invite

Saw gunzz at brunch this morning and he said he had gotten an email that had all the bowl matchups. However, he was sworn to secrecy by the free masons not to reveal the information. The only juicy tibit he could share was that the peach bowl was taking the ACCCG loser.

12/5/2010 12:06:46 PM

nbc has us against notre dame

cbs has us against west virginia

WHO WILL REIGN SUPREME?

12/5/2010 12:12:40 PM

i have it on good authority that the orange bowl is taking virginia tech.

YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST

12/5/2010 3:06:51 PM

"CLEMSON, S.C. -- Earlier this afternoon the Meineke Car Care Bowl selected the Clemson Tigers (6-6, 4-4) from the ACC to face off against Big East member South Florida (7-5, 3-4). The Charlotte-based bowl will be played on December 31 at 12 p.m. and televised by ESPN. The game will mark Clemson's 33rd bowl appearance all-time, sixth for the Bulls, which are no stranger to Charlotte, having played in the New Years Eve game back in 2005. Tigerillustrated.com documented last Wednesday that Charlotte was likely Clemson's destination. And on Friday, bowl exectuive director Will Webb told TI that "there's a very good chance Clemson will end up in Charlotte," though he stopped short of saying the bowl's committee had already extended an invitation to the Tigers because N.C. State (8-4, 5-3) remainded in its selection mix. The Wolfpack will play in the Orlando-based Champs Sports Bowl. The Meineke Car Care Bowl awards a $1.6 million dollar payout to each team. The game will be played in Bank of America Stadium in downtown Charlotte. The stadium seats 73,778. Webb said Friday each school would get a 12,500 allotment of tickets. Webb said the bowl had already sold "between 8-10,000" tickets. Tigerillustrated.com will have more on the Tigers' bowl game later today. "

12/5/2010 5:50:58 PM

We stand a chance of not getting too embarrassed this bowl season. SC is going to destroy FSU

Music City bowl will have the two ugliest colors in college sports

12/5/2010 6:41:34 PM

UT orange? Get out....nowhere near on UNC's gay blue level

12/5/2010 7:31:15 PM

just because gay blue is the ugliest, doesnt mean UT cant be 2nd ugliest

12/5/2010 7:32:00 PM

Dark blue is the 2nd ugliest.

12/5/2010 7:38:48 PM

This board better all become UT fans this bowl season

12/5/2010 7:39:44 PM

agreed. I just mentioned something along those lines yesterday.

I have a question. I might be missing something or is Boise St not going to a bowl game just because they lost to Nevada?
