The Rutgers game was 2 for 1, for what it's worth. I know we play 2 for 2 with Temple starting in 2020.

Correct. I didn't mention that they were home-and-home for that exact reason.

The Tulane-Rutgers arrangement went like this:

1. Rutgers pays Tulane 600k for a home non-conf. game
2. Tulane pays Rutgers 80k for a home non-conf. game
3. Rutgers pays Tulane 600k for a home non-conf. game

It ended with Rutgers getting 2 home games and 2 overall wins.

The third game was essentially a low-cost buy game that had a home-and-home attached to it in order to make Tulane bite.

The GT and Syracuse deals are H+H. Ole Miss gets an extra home game. It all depends on what the needs of the schools are at that time. Tulane will typically take a favorable deal - but will almost never do a pure "buy game". We need the matchup more than the money.

LaTech has one more win vs a P5 team than the ACC

The Top of the ACC is coming up along wit Pitt:

Armed Forces Bowl: Houston vs. Pittsburgh
Belk Bowl: #13. Georgia vs. #21. Louisville
Russell Athletic Bowl: #17. Clemson vs. Oklahoma
Orange Bowl: #7. Mississippi State vs. #12. Georgia Tech
Rose Bowl: #2. Oregon vs. #3. Florida State

I predict 1-4 with Louisville being the only winner.

Possible...Clemson is not the same team without DeShaun Watson...with Louisville it is what Georgia team shows up...toss up is Oregon/Florida State.

Clemson is obliterating Oklahoma. The top of the ACC might be strong.

That score is stunning with Clemson..as for the rest we shall see...like I said yesterday no matter what as a Louisville guy I want Georgia best effort..again the only way we will know how we stand...we can both agree as far as pure talent UGa Talent wise takes a back seat to nobody.
