Bowl projections

Yet, when we went to Jacksonville, we outtraveled WVU in my estimation.

Yup, was 3/4 of the stadium, reaching around both end zones. WV only filled their sideline

Bowl games representatives care if the teams can put butts in the seats.

Does Cuse football “travel well”?

Will the SU alumni go to a bowl game to support this team? If yes, where is that alumni base located; NYC, Boston, So Cal?

This is concerning. We don’t even fill the Dome beyond 80% or it’s capacity. I don’t think our attendance for a home game has exceeded 40K this year.

You've gotta understand the Cuse fan base. The dome not being full has no real correlation with SU fans going to a bowl. Bowl reps know the SU fan base is spread all around the country and always shows up to bowl games. A large % of those fans are fans that haven’t seen the carrier dome since they graduated. But they’ve been to 10 NCAA tournaments, any game in the south SU plays and any bowl they’re able to.

pinstripe was a thing for a few years. much prefer attending a florida snowbird bowl

I have good memories from Pinstripe bowls but only b/c we always left with a win.

 

[qdawgg]

Pitt is the by far the toughest of the 3. We struggle to beat Pitt and it doesn’t matter if they have key injuries, if we score more points than we’ve ever seen, etc. They just seem to have our number. Would hate to have #6 come down to that game but it would be sweet as ____ if a win against Pitt got us to a bowl.

Tailgate play for The Pinstripe

Drinking $3 24 ounce beers out of a paper bag in front of a Bodega

Cuseregular knows what I'm talking about

Great memories!

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

My guess is El Paso or San Diego.

As i said previously, the Fenway Bowl is going to want a northern friendly team to offset the AAC team. My guess is their wish list is Pitt, Syracuse and prob ND if they sputter out. Not sure if BC wants to play in a bowl in their own town.

We make a ton of sense with the local alumni. I would be shocked if we don't end up at Fenway or Pinstripe this time around. Our fanbase is also probably a bit more COVID concerned too and traveling by plane to somewhere remote isn't going to jazz up the entire fan base too. Huge assumption on my end but my guess is we'll do better locally this time around

Fenway Bowl will be just fine. Boston is a world-class city and the Red Sox and the city of Boston will make the amenities and events the best for the players and make it memorable for them. Our New England alumni will represent in a huge way. Ever go to Conte Forum or the Providence Civic Center when we played the Friars in the old Big East? Orange dominates. Also, easy drive from Syracuse, Orange fans will be there in big numbers. It will be good for our New England and Northeast recruiting. We'll be able to have those recruits at the game. I'm hoping for bigger and better but Fenway and Boston will be just fine.

completely agree. My only self counter is if they run the table and finish 8-4. Not sure if we get into play for a bigger bowl then

If we are 8-4 we'll be talking the Gator Bowl

 

[OttoinGrotto]

How real a possibility is San Diego?

 

[JeffCuse]

My wishlist is Boston or Tampa. Both would be great for me to actually go to.

Orlando would work too.

 

[blue&orange]

6-6 = Fenway or Gasparilla
7-5 = Military or Pinstripe
8-4 = Pinstripe, Sun, or Holiday

New projections as of October 31

One ESPN analyst has SU not bowling the other has them in the Military Bowl against East Carolina.

 

[Cuse'91]

No offense taken in being left out of the bowl predictions, imo.
3 difficult games ahead, 2 in hostile environments.
Military Bowl would be cool for Sean Tucker; could probably have lots of family/friends attend.

Tampa is easy to get to from NY and it is warm. Best one so far IMO.

 

[USMCSnyper]

I would love to go to Annapolis!

 

[Briancuse]

My guess is El Paso or San Diego.

I'd love El Paso. I know it's a nightmare to get to but it's a great bowl game.

 

[TexanMark]

Someone has to go...

 

[TexanMark]

I would love to go to Annapolis!

If we get the Military Bowl, I'll have some Orange Crayons for JarHeadJim and you

Agreed...if you are 6-6 location is key

I wouldn’t be so sure, a game on Wednesday at 11am where it likely will be cold is going to be a tough sell.

Almost all would probably prefer the pinstripe over the Fenway

I just want to make one where we go south.

One bowl I definitely won’t go to is the Gaspirilla Bowl because of its date…

Fenway Bowl I would have to think about

The rest I would go to pretty much no matter what
