After Friday's HUGE win against Clemson, our bowl chances just got a massive shot in the arm. We've got five games left, and the amazing thing [given how we've played against LSU, NC State, and Clemson] is that none of them seem to be games where we'd be overmatched.
It's going to be a fun six weeks!
Let's Go Orange!!!
- @ Miami -- very highly ranked, better depth than us, but they aren't very good offensively
- @FSU -- will they be completely demoralized / going through the motions by the time we play them? We get an extra week to prepare
- Wake Forest -- we are a hurricane away from beating them four years in a row -- need to TCB at home
- @ Louisville -- another team that could be going through the motions when we play them. They lost to BC [!!!] last week, plus we'll have big motivation to stick it to them
- BC -- they play hard, but this is in our house
- Need to find two wins there, but suddenly games at FSU / Louisville don't seem nearly as daunting as they seemed at the beginning of the season.
- Have to get to 6 wins -- that's the most important thing. But will we be able to finish strong, and possibly eke out 7 or 8 wins?
- Will we be able to avoid the injury bug for the first time in years, and make a strong push? In that regard, the bye week after Miami is well-timed.
- Can we capitalize on a few teams [FSU / Louisville] who had top 10 aspirations both now having their seasons swirl down the toilet, and knock off another big name team?
- Will we hold serve with the two games at home?
- Will the fanbase lose enthusiasm if we lose to Miami / FSU, and not show up for the two remaining home games?
- Or will they be even more enthused if we pick up a win in the next two games and start filling the Dome as a function of the momentum Babers and staff are building?
