If Pitt hadn't opted out of a bowl game.....

Only ACC team I saw that was close to us in a bowl projection (SI) was Wake Forest in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl. Ironically, they projected them to play Penn State.
Edit: There’s also a few bowls who have a P5 opponent and are selecting an at-large team to fill the other spot. These include Gasparilla, First Responder, and Birmingham.

You also have to figure if Pitt hadn’t opted out the others wouldn’t have either. Despite beating the crap out of them on the field Va Tech would’ve received a favorable bowl game the same way they always do.
Kinda hard to figure that out with all the opt outs and bowl tie ins. I would guess Military.
Penn State will take a bowl bid with a 4-5 record although their four wins are against four big ass loser teams.
That was projected to be v Tenn.
That would have been a projected matchup with Tenn.which wouldn’t have been bad.
Im usually not one of those “there’s too many bowl games” guys, but I find it kind of sad that even in this crazy season Tennessee would be playing in a bowl having lost 7 of their last 8 games.
Military, navy. Maybe compass bowl again which would be fitting as Pitt plays tenn next sept too lol
Navy is another one, 3-7 record and hasn’t won a game in over 2 months. Their season should mercifully be over.
Pitt bowl projections typically look respectable early on and end up being bad. So I'd guess whatever the worst bowl was against the worst possible opponent would've been Pitt's game.
This was some of the talk in K-Town. I think the Vols will probably pull a LSU and take and take a "bowl ban" this year.
Tennessee’s bowl projection would honor Johnny Majors (usatoday.com)

and UCLA.
The Bruins opted out of a victory tonight also.
Hats off to Stanford. That's a team that really improved and closed out the season strong.

They just declined a bowl game. Care to retract the approximately 1000 posts assuring everyone they would play in a bowl, play in a great bowl, play in a bowl game in Hell etc etc
The good news is that now they are "programs at roughly the same level as ours", according to a few of the board optimists.
they opted out too. Frankiln probably wants to get out of dodge and see his family for the holidays. Can't blame him.
Pac 10 stopped caring about sports about the same time Pitt did, stop using that conference to prove any points
