ACC commish stepped in and got Duke in the CFA instead of us.
The BCS games are looking like trash.
Hold up, what is the situation with the ACC's bowl tie-ins now? I thought the CFA got 1st pick after the BCS bowls were sorted out? If so, why would they choose Miami over Duke? Not like they're too excited about either teams fanbases travelling to ATL for the game. Does Duke have better home attendance than Miami at this point? Srs.
I just don't understand how it would be because of the ACC commish stepping in.

Probably a TV ratings thing. It was all over twitter that the commish stepped in.

You do realize they have to sell tickets to make money as well, right? Like Miami fans who don't even show up for home games when they're ranked would actually show up for the Chick-Fil-A Bowl.
I'm not saying it's the only factor or that Duke fans would travel either but if the CFA's only options are Miami & Duke it's like choosing between throwing up incessantly or having explosive diarrhea. Correct me if I'm wrong but haven't bowls shied away from teams who don't travel well, some of it is also about bringing revenue to the bowl site.I don't know that this is accurate but I'll answer part of my own question, here's Duke's "reported" home game attendance for 2013:
Aug 31, 2013 N.C. CENTRAL W 45-0 1-0 0-0 3:11 22521
Sep 14, 2013 GEORGIA TECH L 14-38 2-1 0-1 3:10 21267

Are Miami's any higher? In terms of actual numbers. Srs.

Just saying its all about TV ratings also. And you do realize Miami brings some of the highest tv ratings of games in history? If Miami's on national TV they watch it doesn't matter if the fans don't show. Those tickets would get bought anyways. I'm pretty sure the mia-fsu on labor day in 09 game was the highest watched game ever.

BCS matchups are pretty lame this year (not unlike last year). Title game could be a blowout if Auburn keeps with the swiss cheese defense.
At least Oregon gets to put a nail in the proverbial coffin of Mack Brown. What bowls are you guys looking forward to (outside of title game)

Yes because Duke is going to bring in more money to a bowl game than Miami. Man, stop it.
