That 1985 Cherry Bowl appearance by MD always puzzled me


That bowl was in Pontiac Michigan. Not much of a reward for the conference champ. I think the runner up GT ended up going to a bowl in Florida. This must have been in the era when bowl bids got sent out with several weeks left to play in the season (UVA’s 1990 Sugar Bowl bid comes to mind as being the worst example of that). Also, the ACC was considered an also-ran before FSU joined, hence their commitment to the Citrus Bowl before 1992.
