I Get to Procrastinate

Or is it prognosticate? I forget but The Sidekick took fantasy football so I'll take College Foosball.

Anyhow, turns out NC State is really on the bowl bubble because of an obscure NCAA rule that says all of the ACC's 7-5/7-4 teams must be placed before NC State, which makes us 10th in the bowl pecking order.

If we want to go bowling, turns out we need to become massive Troy St fans because Troy State beating Arkansas State will likely free up a spot for us in the Motor City Bowl. What is Troy? Go them.

It also helps for Louisville and Arizona State to lose their last games. It looks like it'll be NC State and Norte Dame slumming it for a bowl bid and I hate to say it, but Norte Dame is far superior.

As a team or as a marquee name?
ND has 1 win against a team with a winning record - Navy.

As a name...I can't imagine the Motor City Bowl in Detroit would pick NC State over Norte Dame, even if we're clearly on the upswing and they're, uh, not.

HA HA! It looks like Clemson, with their 2 wins over Div II teams, may be our way into an ACC tied in bowl!

talk radio mentioned car care bowl wanting us provided a team ahead of us can get a bowl that's not under contract with the conference. . .
