What's wrong with the Orange Bowl? Va Tech is more likely to get beat by Michigan than WVU tooComment
-
Orange bowl gets the ACC Champion (a laughable concept given the quality of the ACC of late). Sugar gets SEC or at large and is therefore better. Also, losing to Michigan is marginally less embarrassing than losing to WVU.Comment

Ah, I misread. Though, IIRC, the Sugar Bowl is considered more prestigious than the Orange Bowl and the opponent does matter - Michigan will get you more eyeballs which ultimately helps your team more in the future regardless of result.“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

I doubt Michigan needs the prestige boost of a few more eyeballs this bowl season. They're probably the most famous recently D-II school in the country.Comment

Yes, silly. But that's the system. As silly as a team playing for the national championship after not even being in their conference championship game.It's almost as if all his overconfident, absolutist assertions were spoonfed to him by a trusted website or subreddit. Sheeple

I see no reason why the second best team couldn't have the misfortune to be in the same division as the best team.Comment

It's the same issue I have with baseball - if you can't win your division why do you get a chance to knock off the team that did?Originally posted by ColdWizard View Post“I give you a new commandment, that you love one another.

And they had one chance already.
