So I get that we aren't in the ACC so Virginia *technically* had the right to get in the Orange Bowl over us, but c'mon we actually have to face a 7-5 Iowa State team in the Camping World Bowl even though we finished 10-2, I'm pretty disappointed.

I’m also disappointed, and I bet the Orange Bowl is disappointed as well.

If they hadn't allowed themselves to be beat down by Michigan and only lost a close game they would probably have been higher and had a shot at one of the other bowls but it is what it is.

^. This. The committee really punished ND for that Mich loss. I am sure it’s independence bias is also kicking in. Utah had no wins against ranked opponents, lost to a team we beat, and just got it’s shit pushed in and yet they’re 3 spots higher than us.

Also, people are doing quite a bit of pearl clutching over ISU. Pointing to their close loses to OU, Baylor, OK State and Iowa.

well this is the Big 12 where defense is outlawed so we should be able to put up points and our defense should be up to the task because they won’t be used to seeing one.

Of course this has all the hallmarks if a BK “going through the motions” special and that would be the type of thing that costs them the game.

We’ll see if he once again has them unprepared after an extended time off.

I'm sure of it, having a Florida vs. Notre Dame matchup I'm sure would have generated more buzz than a team who got flat out embarrassed in the ACC Championship and got beat by ND.
