It's intriguing, but I wouldn't think either school would want that type of scenario.

Well, I could Memphis liking the opportunity to beat another P5 team this year.

I can also see VA Tech not wanting to get their butt kicked by a G5 team.

Make 'em glad they hired Fuente.

THe CFP playoff system is more than just the playoff. It includes the rotation bowls (Peach, Sugar, etc...) so the columnist is correct. 2 SEC teams will surely make it.

How about Memphis vs. Louisville in the Independence Bowl?

I could go for that.

I suppose the word "system" threw me.

Would make for great TV.

In his press conference when he arrived at VT, JF indicated he would attend the bowl game but remain in the background, not wanting to take any attention away from FB's last game. I'm guessing if Memphis were the opponent, it would be in the press box - hopefully not scouting for VT.

Ohh.. but you know if that happened, ESPN would have a camera fixated on JF as much as possible. To see his reactions.

He contractually wants VA Tech to win, but secretly wants Memphis.

What makes anyone think he would root for the Tigers? The guy has been the VT coach for at least the last three games.

Feel free to keep your negative ass at home. I will be very happy to attend either bowl and play an "autonomy 5" team. If those bowls are good enough for the ACC and SEC they are good enough for us. The Birmingham Bowl is closer, but the Independence Bowl is played on a Saturday (Dec. 26 @ 4:45PM). http://campingworldindependencebowl.com/

It would be shameful (and harmful to Big 12 chances) if we did not send a good crowd to either bowl in support of our great team. We will know our bowl destination Sunday. I'm chomping at the bit and utterly fail to see how a legitimate Tiger fan would not want to go.

I'll drive to Birmingham. I probably won't drive to Shreveport.

I'm planning to go if it's a reasonable location - both Birmingham & Shreveport are reasonable from Atlanta, IMO, so from Memphis should be a no-brainer. Now Hawaii would have to have vacation written all of it to work, but not December, maybe February. Preference would be to face the highest ranking SEC school available & win!
