2024 bowl projections thread

My semi- but not really informed ACC Bowl Predictions

CFP Playoff
Clemson, SMU

Gator Bowl- Miami
Pop Tarts - Syracuse
Holiday Bowl - Pittsburgh
Sun Bowl - Louisville
Pinstripe - Va Tech
Military - BC
Birmingham - UNC
Fenway - Ga Tech
Armed Forces - NC State
Mayo - Duke
LA Bowl - Cal

I could see Ga Tech and Pitt flipped. And I certainly would prefer Gator for us.

Not sure Miami to Gator. Could see Ward opt out.

I don't know why anybody would be upset by San Diego. Absolutely great city with loads for tourists to do. Go to Coronado, go the the world-famous San Diego Zoo.

The best Greek restaurant I've ever been to is in the Gaslight District. Incredible Mexican food everywhere. For those 'so-inclined', Tijuana is nearby.

Of all the bowl game locations we could choose, San Diego is by far the nicest city and area. I know it's far, but it's worth it.

And my in-laws.
And no Kyle.

Which source is this?

Athletic

Agree. I’d love to do a trip to San Diego….its just hard when it’s right around Christmas. Flights are very expensive to San Diego and given the length, it’s going to be hard for folks from the northeast. East coast is a lot more convenient. Plus you have a lot of transplants already in Florida.

San Diego isn’t the problem. Most likely would be against a team that brings no excitement to the fan base and more then likely would have a lot of players sitting out.

Issue is not the city. It’s the competition, exposure and panache.

 

[Trueblue25]

Love San Diego HATE the idea of playing a pissed off WSU team auditioning for a conference while we have no McCord likely

 

[oldpinepoint]

I’ll be pissed if Duke gets the gator bowl bowl over us so we travel to the west coast for a third time

 

[Trueblue25]

this is one area ive bought into ADJW with. Get us a good bowl man, we have the momentum.

Yeah Holiday bowl all but knocks us out.

With one west coast trip in already this year, just don’t know how we could swing the time etc

Please be Florida

San Diego and Holiday is great. Only downside is it is a FAR more expensive trip than Orlando or Jacksonville. Some people may not have the budget for that. I sure don't

 

[JSOrange97]

Holy expensive flights, Batman! EWR-SAN at $1k per person!!!

 

[Trueblue25]

It’s likely not in the cards for me either with everything else planned for in 2025.

I’ll see you all for the gator, pop tart or mayo though.

I can fly to SD for 3-500 from roc, i can fly to orlando for 7-800 on the same days

 

[hoopsupstate]

We were planing to go to Florida, but San Diego is not in the cards.

 

[IthacaBarrel]

Yeah I have no interest in a Washington st game and no Kyle and co. Sad way to end a great season. Hopefully it’s not accurate. Big time let down

Holiday Bowl is solid bowl. Kids not playing is the norm. I think big time let down is a bit much

I want to play the SEC or Big 10, change the narrative

 

[Irt4su]

Stupid Stanford game

Nobody wants this season to end but playing Washington st out west doesn’t move the needle. If it was Colorado then we have something. Playing a big10 or sec in Florida is far and always the best option

I guess there are sporadic deals to be found. But i've priced SD before from NYC airports and every single time its signficiantly more expensive than Tampa (which I assume is similar to Orlando). Hotels are more expensive too.

Jacksonville/orlando flights from cuse are very well priced for what it’s worth right now

I depserately want a Bowl and opponent good enough that Kyle looks at it and says, yeah, I can raise my profile here.

Last year was a disaster and going into a high level bowl with MJ or CDRW as our QB 1 means another long day in front of a national audience.

 

[JeffCuse]

Look I'm not at ALL complaining about Holiday. It's a great great Bowl that pays a full million more than the Gator. It's a prestige Bowl Syracuse has NEVER played in. I just really want a game and matchup that piques Kyle's interests enough to go to battle with his guys one more time.

 

[Stevenson]

Fenway Bowl just upped their offer. Cuse if they say yes, Fran + staff can have the best motel packages available. The HoJo in Revere has offered 10 jacuzzi rooms, vibrating coin op King sized beds and room service from attached restaurant for the coaching staff.

How can you say no?

And Ladies Night at the Marriott in Braintree!
