need a 5-1 acc start

[Newhouser]

Let's get by Clemson. Until I am show otherwise with consistent play I am taking this one game at a time. Clemson will not be a walk over.

Question: has anyone made the annual ceremonial Syracusefan.com declaration yet that "the bubble is weak this year?"

 

[Consigliere]

Not sure that 4-2 would sound a death knell but there is a great opportunity to go 5 - 1 and get ourselves firmly on the good side of any bubble. The big difference between last year's resume at this point and this year's is that we already have 2 Q1 road wins in the bank. Don't think we had more than that all last year (@ Louisville and @ Miami may have been it.) Hopefully Notre Dame can squeeze out enough wins to maintain that.

If we play to potential 9-3 to 10-2 shouldn't be out of the question...

I'm pretty sure I've seen it once or twice already. Im starting to wonder if the bubble will just always weak from now on.

Where do you get this nonsense?

We could win 11 games and not beat a single NCAA-bound team. That's why I said it.

I actually now get excited when people post stuff like that in anticipation of you, jncuse(I think), and maybe 1 or 2 others coming in to hammer them with the facts.

And it never stops. I find it entertaining at this point.

Is Townie one of the others?

In this 20 second clip, replace "leads" with "bubble", and it seems to be the point you're trying to make

Our OOC was worse in 2016/2017, with 5 losses including a really bad one vs St. John's. We also had no quality wins OOC like Ohio St. At 10-8 in the ACC, we were the last team out.

Last year we had only 2 losses OOC, but also only went 8-10 in the ACC, and got in.

I am not guaranteeing anything at 10-8 in the ACC, but if I was betting man I would say that if we got 10-8 (whatever permutation) we are much more likely to be in than out this year.

if a road win vs any one of duke, vpi, unc or ncsu is among those 9 or 10 conference wins then i'd say its a lock
