They don't - no one  does. It's just a projection to be able to sell magazines ( mouseclicks)

Others receiving votes: Clemson (101), Mississippi State (44), Penn State (26), Appalachian State (24), Kentucky (10), Purdue (3)

#24 NCST plays UNC and #21 Wake plays Boston College.  

From a regional standpoint, Wake, UNC, or NCST would work out pretty good in Charlotte.  I could see us playing Wake Forest if we beat Clemson, who just demolished Wake, if we need a ACC opponent.

just added "projection" to the subject to make it a little clearer this isn't an invite, just some crystal-balling.

Sports Illustrated has us Memphis, Liberty Bowl against Kansas State

 

[Spur's Addiction]

Liberty bowl would be awesome. Memphis is a great place to visit. I went years ago when we played Houston. '06 maybe. Great time.

Perhaps. I remember running into Cack there from Cockytalk.

Yeah that was a fun game.  I nearly lost it when Kenny McKinley (RIP) scored that late TD and flung the ball into the stands incurring the dreaded unsportsmanlike penalty to get that Houston high powered offense 15 yards closer to the EZ.  All's well that ends well though.
