I think the BC-SU game is going to end up being a play in game where the winner plays in the Sun Bowl and the loser plays in the Pinstripe.

This assumes there are no upsets.

SU beats Wake and Louisville and loses to ND.
BC has to play at VT, at home against Clemson, at FSU and then at home against SU. Let's say they win both road games (questionable) and lose to Clemson.

Then SU and BC would both be 8-3 (5-2) heading into the final week of the season.

If BC loses one or both games on the road, they are probably a lock for the Pinstripe.

If SU loses to Wake or UL (and ND), they are probably a lock for the Pinstripe.  I can't see Pitt playing in NYC, or a southern team when there are two good options in the NE.

SU or BC will play in the Pinstripe.  I bet they would prefer to take BC, given how many times Syracuse has already played in the bowl and that they will ahve layed in Yankee Stadium against a more attractive opponent 5 weeks earlier.

Whoever finishes the season better gets the warmer, more prestigious bowl.

If both have at least 2 more losses to end the season, maybe we end up at the Military Bowl and BC ends up in the Pinstripe.  But we are going to have to put up at least 2 losses to drop that far.

If we run the table, we probably get the Camping World Bowl.  Although ND might take it from us because we beat them head to head.  That would be bad.  First world college football problems...
