How we can get to NY6 bowl projection THIS WEEK.

[blust2i3d4]

We need to be in top 12. Besides Notre Dame and UCF, there are 10 slots for Power 5 conferences.

SEC (3): Alabama, Georgia, LSU.
B1G (2): Michigan, Ohio State.
Big12 (2): Oklahoma, West Virginia.
ACC (2): Clemson, Syracuse.
PAC12 (1): Washington State.

To have the perfect scenario happen, these teams have to lose this week:
SEC: Florida, Kentucky, Mississippi State.
B1G: Penn State, Iowa.
Big12: Texas.
PAC12: Utah.

Everything is going to Syracuse's way so far. The final hurdle is that Mississippi State has to lose to Louisiana Tech.

Kentucky, Penn state, Iowa, Utah with the loss.

Everything almost went according to the plan except Mississippi State won. Thus CBS projected Syracuse will rise to No. 13 ranking in tomorrow's poll.

Hard to fathom.

Yet here we are...

So this is kind of simple:
1. Syracuse wins out
2. Everyone above us loses

Did I get that right?

Wow, who would have ever thought the SU-ND game had significant National Championship implications when it was scheduled.

I’m not even thinking about CFP. If chaos ensues and we somehow have a shot, awesome. There’s about a 1% chance that happens.

That being said. I’m all in on the NY6 train. I think we’re good enough to not believe it’s crazy that we win out.

 

[721Comstock]

FOUR (and a half - ND) of those 13 are from the ACC.

I'll be rooting for CHAOS.

Oh, and technically, I guess Pitt kinda still is too, since they might win the Coastal, and then in theory could beat Clemson and get in that way, as ACC Champions, right?

We control our own destiny vs two of them

Me neither but just the fact we are still in that shrinking list conversationally is awesome this late into the season.

Who would beleive it? LOL that is awesome.

 

[elimunelson]

Is ND regretting moving our game to nyc? What a bad idea in hindsight. That game has fluke written all over it being in the Bronx vs south bend

All you can ask for.
