Possible Gator Bowl Matchup: MD vs UM - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I hope this happens, so I'm hoping Pitt wins on Saturday and WVU gets upset or something.

I'm pretty sure MD can force Miami to play because if Pitt wins and so does WVU, MD can say they don't want a rematch with WVU, meaning they would play the Hurricanes.

Actually the Gator Bowl isn't interested in Miami, even considering they are in state. They still don't travel well or get the fan support like others. After the Virginia Tech loss this past Saturday, WVU is now the front runner for that bowl. And according to meetings that took place last night, the bowl and even Maryland's coach and AD are interested in a rematch, stating it's even better for the rivalry. The Gator is considering inviting Maryland this week even before the Wake Forest game. They have to wait on the Big East cause of the championship winner to the BCS still up in the air. But there is more doubt on the ACC side now if they put off picking Maryland, as they are now somewhat interested in Clemson. A Clemson vs WVU matchup looks very good to them considering back in the 80's the two teams met in the Gator and still hold the Attendance record. So as of now it's all in the air, but just stating that the Gator has even been quoted saying WVU is the front runner and that they aren't really interested in Miami

I think Miami will pull off the victory, not by much, but the defense will keep us in the game, and its up to Berlin to just not turn the ball over....

Canes in the Orange Bowl

That's like asking the Iraqi people to stop attacking our soldiers.
