he isnt basing it on actually information though so who knows what he is thinking

Bleacher Report sucks

Same publication that picked us to finish last in the Atlantic Division:

I think their crystal ball may have a crack in it.

I don't think Heart of Dallas is taking Oregon St. over us.

5 de-merits. 2 de-merits for posting anything from Bleacher Report. 2 more for posting an actual prediction from Bleacher Report. 1 more because you posted a prediction that doesn't include us in a bowl. Now excuse me, I have someone's dog to go kick.

If an ACC team sits it will be Maryland, ESPN broadcasts the Military Bowl, and Maryland going to the Big 10 would end up out, to be a bowl you need to be on TV, ESPN will make sure their schools get taken care of first.

Oregon over Clemson in the Orange Bowl huh? That would be an interesting decision.

Other than the BCS Championship game, the Rose Bowl might be the only BCS bowl with 2 teams that are happy to be there.

I know it's about selling tickets and filling hotel rooms, but if we get shut out of a bowl (I don't think that will happen) and Oregon State gets in, I may have to hurt someone. They haven't won a game since October 19th and their fan base is smaller than ours. Bleacher Report does suck.

As the OP I totally agree with everything you said, but you forgot to include a beating behind the woodshed.
Seriously, they do suck, and pull rankings and predictions out of their butt. Just posted it out of shock. Do you know how hard it is to type while shaking your head form side to side?

Both of these lack SU -

If a power team was to get left out it really wouldnt surprise me if it was Syracuse. As I said a few days ago when Syracuse's fate is not in its own hands it usually gets screwed. Ie the NCAA tourney anytime Syracuse is even remotely on the bubble.

We only have to go back to 2003 to see a 6-6 SU team not get into a bowl.

There had to be a lot fewer bowls in 2003 though.

28 then. 35 now. 14 more teams get to play.

There are at least 6 more FBS teams now, with 4 more joining soon.

Good point!

Schools are crazy to be considering jumping to FBS level now. Too much competition. Yes, there is a lot of money being thrown around. But the risk/reward isn't there. Better to be Colgate than to be FIU.
