The ACC has zero depth at the top and until they can start yielding a decent #2 the OB is going to be a joke.

The Orange Bowl doesn’t care about where teams are ranked. That’s not what bowl games are about. Bowl games are for tourism. They want teams that will bring people to fill up hotel rooms, eat in restaurants, shop in stores etc.

How many tickets the participating programs buy are more important than the records of the teams.
