Message: [QUOTE="sufan, post: 406043, member: 262"] [COLOR=#ff0000]Huge win for SU and ACC:[/COLOR] 1) UL was ranked 10/11 in AP/USA polls. This knocks UL out of top 10, probably out of top 15 (?) This assures FSU and Clemson, both in top 10, will be ranked ahead of top Big East team. 2) This deflates the opportunity of Big East to have a top ranked team in the Orange Bowl and rationalizes the Big 5 conferences, including the ACC, having their own contract bowls to the exclusion of the Big East. 3) Huge win for SU from a recruiting and national branding perspective as a team on the way back. Coach DM likely to gain a new contract. Team likely gains a bowl opportunity, perhaps the Pinstripe, further establishing SU as NY's team. (Hopefully Cin or UL beat RU.) [/QUOTE]
