Good morning Canes fans. Miami will likely have to wait until Sunday to know its bowl destination this winter. Strange happenings in the
ACC as Clemson, who became bowl eligible this past week has been picked by the Gator Bowl who has the #3 pick of
ACC teams (after the Orange Bowl and Chick
Fil-A Bowl). The Tigers have only 5 wins against
FBS teams this season, the least of any of the
ACC's ten bowl eligible teams. The Music City bowl appears poised to pass on Florida State and take the VT/BC loser. The
Meineke Car Care Bowl will pick North Carolina, a local draw in Charlotte. Florida State thus falls to the sixth choice
ACC bowl, the Champs Sports bowl in Orlando despite being more marketable nationally than any
ACC team other than perhaps the Canes. The reason: lack of traveling Seminole fans.
Orlando Sentinel: Noles Snubbed by Gator BowlUM could be picked for the Emerald Bowl, Humanitarian Bowl, or the Eagle Bank Bowl. It appears the Emerald Bowl in San Francisco who picks first of the group will take UM to set up an attractive TV
matchup with a PAC-10 opponent.
The Emerald Bowl has opened up fan voting to determine what team the bowl should invite from the ACC. As of this writing Miami holds a huge lead over Wake Forest, with Florida State third and Maryland fourth.
The fallout from Tuesday's controversial UM loss to Ohio State continues. How will the Canes respond against Kentucky on Saturday in another nationally televised game? That will be the subject of tomorrow's daily digest.
