without a play off system, this is a waste of time, its like Coeburn and Hurley playin a game now. Two terrible teams in a meaningless game.
UGA will make an announcement today that they'll accept the Chick-Fil-A bowl bid...VT will announce on Wednesday that they'll accept to play them in ATL
now...who was that dumb guy who made the remark about the winner of the UGA-GT game being in the Chick-Fil-A Bowl?? man, was he off!! [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Then every bowl game should be canceled except the title game because all the others are meaningless with subpar teams playing. The only one that matters in the end is the one that determines #1. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Who was the guy that said you could pencil in GT for the Chick-Fil-A.

I have no idea why the GT players would want to be in the C-F-A and not get to do any traveling for a week like every other team that is in a bowl.
What I like is how they talk about the big tough ACC and their conference game is between #16 & #23. I also like that they are ranked this way because of who they are give UM or FSU the same records and they would be in the top 10.

WADR, from what I had heard and I'm sure 22 had the same connection, GT being the #1 choice was tied to them beating UGA and losing the ACC title game. If another team besides UGA had been invited, they would have still been a strong candidate if they lost in the ACC CG.
And the ACC is indeed down this season, but I honestly don't think it is as bad as perceived. The ACC beat its self up this season (as did some of the SEC teams)but the top teams fared pretty well OOC.

True that neither conference has much to brag about this year.

I'd say the SEC will have 2 BCS teams this year though. I look for LSU to get a bid also. Which leads to another scenario...if for some unseen reason only 1 SEC team goes BCS it may bump either Auburn or UT down to the Chick bowl. But I'd say this is very unlikely.

ATLANTA (AP) -- Barring unexpected developments this weekend, Georgia will play Virginia Tech in the Dec. 30 Chick-fil-A Bowl in the Georgia Dome.
The bowl, formerly known as the Peach Bowl, will announce its teams on Sunday.
"We will have our SEC team in attendance and our ACC team on the telephone," said Chick-fil-A spokesman Matt Garvey on Friday.
Added Garvey: "If everything goes the way we think, it looks like our best possible matchup would have Virginia Tech against Georgia."
The Chick-fil-A plans also are of interest to Georgia Tech. If the Yellow Jackets lose in the ACC championship game against Wake Forest on Saturday, they would be invited to the Gator Bowl.
Georgia Tech hopes to earn an Orange Bowl berth by beating Wake Forest, but with a loss its bowl options were the Chick-fil-A and Gator bowls.
Garvey called plans for his bowl matchup "the worst-kept secret in Atlanta," but even on Friday the Virginia Tech-Georgia matchup was not a certainty.
For the Atlanta bowl to invite Georgia, the Southeastern Conference must have two teams in BCS bowls. Louisiana State is expected to join the winner of Saturday's Florida-Arkansas SEC championship game as SEC teams in BCS bowls.
The Florida-Arkansas loser, Auburn and Tennessee are expected to land in the Capital One, Outback and Cotton bowls. But if LSU doesn't make the final BCS cut, it would affect the rest of the bowl picture and possibly send either Auburn or Tennessee to the Chick-fil-A bowl.
Georgia (8-4) lost four of five games before it salvaged its season with a strong finish, beating No. 5 Auburn and No. 16 Georgia Tech.
Georgia last played in the Peach Bowl in 1998, when it beat Virginia 35-33.
Virginia Tech (10-2) closed its regular season with a win over Virginia and a No. 14 ranking.

yeap, 10-2 means you're a terrible team playing in a game that gives your school over 2 million dollars...how meaningless

Those games are meaningless. The idea is to win money?
Say what you want, 1 game has meaning, the others are fillers. Wastes of time.
