The ACC and The Bowl Games
There are 42 Bowl games this year and 11 out of the 14 ACC teams are playing in them . ONly Duke, Syracuse and Virginia are not ( not they deserved to be in one ).
I cannot imagine , unless you are an alumni of one of the schools, why you would watch Old Dominion-Eastern Michigan, Colorado State -Idaho, Toledo-Appalachian State, USF-South Carolina, Air Force -South Alabama, Ohio -Troy , Kentucky- Georgia Tech, ( unless you are Ashley Judd ) , etc. etc.
There are, however, some interesting games, Western Michigan , ( only undefeated team other than Alabama ) - Wisconsin, Penn State - USC, , Michigan-Florida State, Louisville- LSU and of course the National Championship matchups , although Alabama-Washington in my mind is a mis- match
