Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Hopefully the student section is a bit thin next Saturday, with it being Thanksgiving weekend.

Updated for GTHC week, November 25, 2013.

ESPN ACC blog - Dropped to Russell Athletic Bowl, Dec. 28th.

(ESPN bowl "experts")
Mark Schlabach: Chik Fil A, December 31 v. Texas A&M
Brad Edwards : Sun Bowl, December 31 v. Arizona State

Jerry Palm (CBSsports) - Chik Fil A v. Missouri

Phil Steele - Not updated yet.

CFN - Russell Athletic v. Louisville

AthlonSports - Chik Fil A v. South Carolina

Tampabay.com - Chik Fil A v. South Carolina

BleacherReport - Sun v. UCLA

SBNation - Chik Fil A v. South Carolina

Orlando Sentinel - Chik Fil A v. South Carolina

Syracuse.com - Chik Fil A

SI.com - Chik Fil A v. South Carolina

All in all not much change. Dinich and Adelson were the only ones that dropped us to a lower bowl this week after playing Wake. The other prognosticators either kept us at the same tier, or bumped us up one or two spots.

Best case Peach, worst case Citrus? We're getting some respect, only took a 9-2 record.

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

I am starting to believe that Clemson is going to the Orange Bowl no matter what happens against Spurrier.

So yeah, I think it comes down to

Beat UNC - Chickenz
Lose to UNC - Russell or Sun, with VaTech taking our place in Atlanta.

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

LOT of people have us headed to Atlanta. Do we think that Kevin White already formulated a deal for us?

Some on TDD are even saying that regardless of what happens against carolina we will be in the Cow Bowl on NYE. Hoping that's the case and they know something I don't.

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

I'm 95% certain we're in the CFA bowl no matter what. Miami makes more sense to get the Russell bowl, UNC to Belk, VT to Sun, GT to military since Johnson was a Navy dude.

I agree with all of this except for GT. I think Tech heads to Nashville. They haven't been there in a while, it's close to Atlanta and they would play an SEC team not named UGA.

While we are at it, might as well do the rest of the ACC.

FSU - National Championship
Clemson - Orange
Duke - CFA
Miami - Russell
VaTech - Sun
UNC - Belk
GaTech - Music City
BC - Advocare in Shreveport (sucks for Andre2000 to be a likely Heisman candidate and be stuck in this crappy bowl).
Maryland - Military in Annapolis
Pitt - one of the minor bowls that will not have a conference tie-in team eligible.

Likely Eliminated:
Syracuse

Eliminated:
Wake
NC State
UVA

New projections for ACCCG week. #20 Duke bowl projections for the week of December 2, 2013

ESPN ACC blog - Russell Athletic Bowl, Dec. 28th.

(ESPN bowl "experts")
Mark Schlabach: Sun Bowl, December 31 v. UCLA
Brad Edwards : Sun Bowl, December 31 v. UCLA

Jerry Palm (CBSsports) - Chik Fil A v. Texas A&M

Phil Steele - Russell Athletic v. Louisville

CFN - Chik Fil A v. LSU

AthlonSports - Chik Fil A v. Texas A&M

Tampabay.com - Chik Fil A v. Texas A&M

Orlando Sentinel - Chik Fil A v. Texas A&M

Syracuse.com - Chik Fil A

SI.com - Russell Athletic v. Louisville

Again, not a lot of movement this week. We are guaranteed to fall no further than the Sun Bowl. Not liking the fact that we've moved down to the Sun in a couple of projections. Still think we end up in Atlanta.

Chick-Fil-a bowl source tells me Duke is the likely choice for Atlanta unless Clemson falls out of the BCS.

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Jerry Palm (CBS Sports) tonight: Chick-Fil-A vs. Texas A&M.
Scout/CFN and SBN: Russell Athletic vs. Louisville

Manziel or Bridgewater. Yippee.

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Two best QBs in CFB and last two heisman winners back to back. Awesome.

SI says coin flip between Duke and Miami. Has Duke vs Louisville.

Best case scenario.


Could be the NOD-bowl, right? i.e Duke vs UGA

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

A lot of buzz that it will be Texas A& m.

 

[dukeberto]

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Apparently Texas a&m is going to the outback bowl

Re: Duke Bowl Game Discussion

Oh ok. I wasn't aware of that.
