Slickarick 104 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 So I thought A&m was supposed to play ou.. or was I mistaken? Link to post Share on other sites
JohnnyFootball 1,084 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 You were mistaken. Bowl tie ins meant that the highest ranked SEC team not in the playoffs would go Orange while the next would go Cotton. A&M finished higher than Florida so they went to the Orange Bowl. It would've been a better game than either this game or our game will be- both would be at full strength. Link to post Share on other sites
Slickarick 104 Posted December 31, 2020 Author Share Posted December 31, 2020 My question is my North Carolina and not a higher ranked team. Just leave me scratching my head. Link to post Share on other sites
Valhalla 2,108 Posted December 31, 2020 Share Posted December 31, 2020 Orange Bowl has to take the highest ranked ACC team not in the playoff I believe. That’s North Carolina. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I'm tired of playing in meh Texas bowl games (and the Cotton Bowl is a great game, but we've played at Jerry World too many times over the years) against former Big XII teams. The Orange Bowl will be an awesome change of scenery. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
