Bowl projections

It will be interesting to see where Penn State lands this year, they still have two top 10 teams left to play. Their SOS this year was crazy. They might be a tough draw, that’s a good team. It would be awesome to beat them though.
Any chance of Tucker wearing 44 against Penn State at Yankee Stadium?
 
Latest from ESPN writers:
Schalbach: Military vs. East Carolina (same as last week)
Bangoura: None (same as last week)

If it hasn't happened yet, I don't see it happening until next season. Even that is doubtful, in my opinion, just because Syracuse is slow to move and conservative in almost everything that it does.

I think Syracuse doesn’t want to give up their 44 $$$$$$$$$$$
 
You seem more of a Miracle Whip Bowl kinda guy.

Updated projection from Athlon Sports:
Military Bowl vs. East Carolina
I could probably get to Annapolis….

Adding that to my “doable” list…Boston, NYC, and Tampa/Orlando are on that list
 
Quick take on how the rest of the season will shake out.

For each team, I have their current conference and overall record, their remaining games and a best guess at where they end up. There are a bunch of coin flip type games that could go either way.

Atlantic
Wake Forest 5-0 8-1 NC State @CU, @BC
6-2 9-3
NC State 4-1 7-2 @WF, SU, UNC 7-1 10-2
Clemson 5-2 6-3 UConn, WF, @SC 6-2 9-3
Syracuse 2-3, 5-4 @UL, @NC State, Pitt 3-5 6-6
Louisville 2-4 4-5 SU, @Duke, UK 3-5 5-7
Florida St 2-4 3-6 Miami, @BC, @UF 4-4 5-7
Boston College 1-4 5-4 @GT, FSU, WF 1-7 5-7

Coastal
Pitt 4-1 7-2 UNC, UVa, @ SU 7-1 10-2
Virginia 4-2 6-3 ND, @Pitt, VT 5-3 7-5
Miami 3-2 5-4 @FSU, VT, @Duke 5-2 8-4
UNC 3-3 5-4 @Pitt, Wofford, @NC State 3-5 6-6
VT 2-3 4-5 Duke, @Miami, @UVa 3-5 5-7
GT 2-5 3-6 BC, @ND, UGa 3-5 4-8
Duke 0-5 3-6 @VT, UL, Miami 0-8 3-9

Bowl eligible teams

Top tier
Pitt 10-2*
NC State 10-2*

*=one will add a win, one will add a loss in the ACC championship game

Second tier
Clemson 9-3
Wake Forest 9-3
Miami 8-4

Barely eligible
UVa 7-5
UNC 6-6
Syracuse 6-6

I have 4 ACC schools finishing at 5-7. The fight to get bowl eligible is fierce and will remain that way. Losing the Orange Bowl to the playoffs and not having a conference team in the playoffs moves everyone down a couple of notches.

This could be the year Clemson goes to the Mayo Bowl.

There's a mayo bowl?

Gross.

I've said all along I'd be happy appearing in any bowl, and I find now that I am a liar.
Yes. Duke's Mayo (which is bigger than Hellman's or Miracle Whip in the South) took over the sponsor ship of the bowl in Charlotte that has also been the Continental Tire, Meinke Car Care, and Belk Bowl. Until the CFP came about, it was fairly traditional for the 2nd highest ranked ACC team to go there (with the highest-ranked team going to a New Year's bowl), because they had the first pick of the lesser bowls.

Just an ungodly substance.
