I'm confused. We might be saying the same thing. My points were that 1) a highly ranked Syracuse team going to play a team like PSU in the Pinstripe Bowl would be a good thing for the bowl, and 2) it's a good thing to have a highly respected bowl actively want your school in it.

In an ideal world, fans would get excited about playing on a big stage in the Pinstripe Bowl instead of feeling like they were drafted to play in a NYC bowl game. And, the Pinstripe Bowl could pull us up while we pulled it up.

But shifting back to the present, I think that SU will be in the Pinstripe Bowl if they get their way. The only two things that would complicate that arrangement are 1) ND being up for grabs, and 2) some rivalry game opportunity being too good to pass up.

I don't think that ND is going to the Pinstripe this year, and I don't think that there are any compelling rivalry games that will be too good to pass up. Pitt has already played PSU this year, and we have not, so PSU being the B1G rep would actually make us even more appealing.

As such, I think that we're going to the Pinstripe unless something crazy happens, and we end up somewhere really, really good.
