Bowl possibilities?

[CousCuse]

That seems to be a week to week thing though. Sometimes it’s dead in the water. And when it is, they have no answers.

That's how it looks. I think he has wanted to get that freshman up to speed all season and now he is. Have to see next week against UNC.

Syracuse vs Penn St - Pinstripe Bowl

All that’s good in this world vs the axis of evil.

Syracuse vs Penn St - Pinstripe Bowl

McSorley vs Dungey would be fun

 

[Jeepers]

For lower bowls, I don’t think we’ll go anywhere but Military. They seem to be enamored with us.

I’d say pinstripe is a lock for next level, but I don’t see the appeal for the bowl with us being there weeks before. Who knows.

Above that, seems to be too early to tell.

 

[CousCuse]

Syracuse vs Oregon in the Sun bowl would generate some real excitement and ratings.The colors would be crazy.

 

[Killdozer]

The Belk bowl against an SEC team would be great.

I live in Charlotte so that would be awesome. I get to watch SU beats a SEC team in December and then watch the basketball team win the ACC tournament in March.

East coast vs west coast. ACC vs Pac12. Orange is the new fast vs the quack attack. Dungey against his home state that over looked him.

 

[TexanMark]

Tampa Florida, Raymond James stadium. Yes, please. (Gasparilla)

For a 6-6 Cuse team? Absolutely

I'm hoping for Peach or Camping World

 

[BVille44]

With all the people from CNY living in North Carolina the Belk Bowl that would be my pick.

 

[blue&orange]

Syracuse could go anywhere at this point but some places are more unlikely. Camping World in Orlando would require us winning out imo. Belk is very unlikely, they always pick Southern and have good teams in Virginia, Nc St, Va Tech, etc to pick from, that’s a no go for us. Sun bowl is probably our ceiling unless we keep winning every week.

This would be huge for recruiting as well. Beating Oregon would possibly help us land Seven McGee. I think McGee is leaning Cuse in the early process but this could be just the win that would put him over the edge

Syracuse vs Penn St - Pinstripe Bowl

I'm not a fan of the Pinstripe Bowl. However, if it meant having a chance at beating up on Ped State, uh yeah, sign me up for that one.

I think 3-1 could potentially get us Camping World depending on other teams of course. If we win out and defeat that Notre Dame team I have my eyes set on a bowl much higher than Camping World. I would be thinking Peach Bowl

East coast vs west coast. ACC vs Pac12. Orange is the new fast vs the quack attack. Dungey against his home state that over looked him.

Also, terrible jersey vs terrible jersey...

Rooting for Military Bowl-Could make it there without a problem

 

[RandomGuy]

NC state could win out. We could, as well, with the biggest tests coming against ND, and BC. If we win at BC, we win the tie breakers, and finish runner up.. (yes, I'm putting the cart before the horse). Virginia could win out.

In that scenario... Virginia loses to Clemson in the ACC championship game. Whose in line for the better bowl? Cuse or Virginia?

(I skipped Vtech and Pitt based on overall record)

Sb nation on ND:

It is time to prepare yourselves for a full-bore Playoff crisis involving Notre Dame, is what we are saying. It might also be time to prepare yourself for “Syracuse is a quality loss” as an argument, because the Notre Dame defense will give up serious yardage at times. This is also saying that Syracuse is the last, best hope between the world and Notre Dame getting housed by Alabama for the second time in a decade.

I feel like any true Irish fan secretly wants us to win that game so they can (still) make a good bowl (that they have a shot at winning), claim that they're being discriminated against when <insert 1 loss team here> makes the FF, and not get their doors blown off by Alabama.

Losing to Syracuse would check a lot of boxes for ND.

 

[kingtidge]

Music City plz...

Nashville is a blast and still small enough to walk around on the town with little need to use public transit or cabs/uber's...

 

[MaxwellCuse]

For selfish reasons -- my daughter moved to Tennessee three months ago -- I am hoping for the Music City Bowl. But it will be the Pinstripe Bowl since Syracuse never leaves NYS until January.

ND better worry about Northwestern first, that team has a way to show up big at times. That said, they also have a way to be a what the heck as well.

Just want a game against a power five team we haven’t played in a long time; Oregon would for the bill (lol!) nicely. If they were ranked that would be a bonus.

Rooting for Military Bowl-Could make it there without a problem

Yep. only about an hour's drive for me. Annapolis has a nice feel. Think old-fashioned pubs. Places that add an 'e' to 'old'.

That would be my preference also- someone we typically wouldn't see or haven't seen in the non-conference schedule. But this year, I'll be happy regardless since we've gotten that "haven't made a bowl since..." off our back.

 

[elimunelson]

maybe worth another thread but what year did the bowl eligibility essentially become "6 wins"? Wasn't on the board in 1994 but we won 6 by October 22nd. i know the standards have changed over the years but what year essentially? 1999 We won 6 and got to the bowl that year.
