I would like to propose a new rule, for NY6 bowl games...

Et Lux in Domino Strong Safety

For the bowls that have contracts with certain conferences, the champion of that conference goes to the bowl. (No change.)

But, IF the champion of the conference goes to the CFP, the "runner-up" or replacement team MUST have a record of at least 9-3, and/or be ranked in the CFP Poll's Top 25. Period. If there is no other team in the conference that meets that criteria, the bowl committee can invite someone from another conference, that fits the criteria.

How Clemson's dominance and the mediocrity of the ACC has put the Orange Bowl in a bind

Will the Orange Bowl be able to fill its ACC slot with a ranked team this season? There is no guarantee

This article blew my mind! #3 Clemson is the ONLY ranked team in the ACC. Virginia, Virginia Tech, and Pitt are the three next best teams, all from the Coastal Division, at 7-3.

• Virginia (5-2 in ACC) plays Liberty this weekend, and then Virginia Tech.
• Va Tech (4-3) plays Pitt, and then obviously Virginia.
• Pitt (4-3), after Va Tech, plays Boston College.

In the Atlantic Division, Wake Forest is technically also 7-3, but they are only 3-3 in conference.
