Out of 40 bowls

[TD_istheman]

Ours is ranked 21, so like I said, we deserved better , we are better than some of the other 40/41 programs that got better bowls. Athlon ranked them not me

I think a big part of those rankings was the matchup. Pitt-NU not the most enticing matchup on the menu.

Two teams 5-7 in a bowl now that's crap, next thing you know there will be 4-8 .. oh they played a tough schedule... it sucks 6-6 get to play but actually some do play a rough schedule and I have no problem with that☔️

Well Pitt-WVU would have been one of the best 5 bowls (higher than the number 10 rating)...unfortunately the Russell Athletic Bowl didnt care...Im not sure if we had one more win, and one less loss we woulda ended up there unfortunately

theyre ranking the quality of the matchup, not the prestigiousness of the bowl itself.

Yeah, but that's a concept that's really hard for some people to understand.

Would've been Top 10 for sure, not sure about Top 5.
