The thinking was that FSU and miami would be in it more often than not, at


least early on. In 03 when the invites went out, Miami was coming off 2 straight MNC appearances and FSU was only 2 years removed from losing to OU. They had no way of knowing that Miami would fall off a cliff and the long decline of FSU. Throw in 2 straight BC-VT games, a WF-GT game and interest took a dive, especially in Florida.
Now, CLT was a great move when VT was still contending every year since its an easy drive from BBurg and not to horrible from the rest of VA. FSU fans will travel anyway and now that Clemson is also int he mix they will also make an easy trip. Not sure that CLT would fill up if it were Miami against BC or GT-WF.
