Bowl game was the goal...

[CanadianSU]

Sure we lost, I do not understand the big deal. Just go beat BC who are not Alabama or Fsu which some of you think. People who say to fire mcd are rather dumb as he is getting us the playmakers to be succesful. At least now we do not have to play Ole Miss or Georgia...

 

[Chris02M]

I'd expect another competitive game next week hopefully we pull it out

Missing a bowl is unacceptable

This team needs the reps and practice

This game hurts as much as the Rutgers losses the past two years

So close ... can we finish strong? I have my doubts

It does hurt, but that is football. I do not think Bc is that good.

I don't think a bowl is guaranteed with a win. I hope I'm wrong

Not gonna happen. BC is multi-dimensional. With all the injuries, the defense will not be able to stop BC.

We will see. It is Boston College.

A.) We don't know who will be out with injury.
B.) We typically stop the run pretty well.
C.) Williams hot injured late in their game, came back and played - but our guys will beat him up pretty good. May not last long.
D.) They are not blowing people away. They are more Pitt, Maryland, Wake than GT, FSU, Clemson.

there are going to be a few openings from other conference for the at most 2 at large bowl spots(2 acc bcs slots helps) the acc would need if we win next week.

here are some that are known:
Pinstripe: for big 12- Notre Dame likely gets this slot
Poinsettia: for army

The BC game is going to be just like today's Pitt game. It's not a given and will likely go down to the wire.

 

[Chris02M]

here are some other bowl I see that will have at large spots available:

little caesars bowl fo big 10
Texas bowl for big 12
Heart of Dallas Bowl for big 10
Independence for sec (not applicable for ACC though)
Liberty or Compass bowl for sec

 

[Chris02M]

any at large spots most of the time go to bcs conferences

with this team that means something like an ill-timed penalty or blown assignment will cost them the game.
