Palm still has SU in Pinstripe Bowl

[SUbear]

That's what I have as well. Lots of games still to be played though. Edit - except I have Alabama playing Georgia and Clemson playing Michigan. But then I have Michigan beating OSU and maybe you don't?

Cheers,
Neil

Is this not fun, now that we have possibilities?

UCF will probably lose to Cinncinnati this Saturday, and that will play havoc to your scenario. They also only play 11 teams because of a hurricane cancellation, any loss is more significant because of that. If they win out your prediction looks pretty good.

UCF is merely a placeholder for G5 representative in Alsacs' (and mine as well) thinking. So not a lot of havoc. Havoc is us beating the Irish.

I can hear it now - "they didn't know!"

LGO!!!

Cheers,

I have Georgia beating Alabama in the SEC title game.
Thus, they would avoid a rematch in the Semifinals.
So UGA-Clemson and Bama-Michigan.
If Ohio State beat Michigan I guess WVU/OU/Ohio State are all in play.

 

[Chip]

There’s 85 players who need to want this game.

Yeah, our effort and focus is absolutely the last thing I'm worried about for this game.

If we lose, it's because the other team was better. And that's ok. They're the #3, undefeated, and Notre Dame.

A win over ND and the Orange will make a quantum leap to another level of existence. Well, at least to 6 or 7 in the rankings, maybe higher.

 

[HOFCeluck]

One year, there is going to be a long shot underdog that comes out of no where and wins the National Championship. Why not this year, why not the Orange?

There was. In 2010.

 

[Alsacs]

There was. In 2010.

In 2007 if West Virginia and Missouri won their last games they play for the NC.
Both lost. All teams have to do is win.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Opponents like Iowa state, Purdue, etc not firing me up. Last bowl we had Minnesota (I was there). I want a name program. Give me Wisconsin, Penn State in the Pinstripe or Texas Tech, Oklahoma State in the Camping World.

Don’t fact check me saying why those teams aren’t likely. I’m just saying I’d personally rather play those teams.

Ooooooooohh no I feel like we have a score to settle with Purdue. The only thing missing would be if someone (Cusehulk) could find Kyle Orton and kick him in the junk.

But yeah TT or Okie st would be fun.

 

[CousCuse]

Auburn?

 

[HOFCeluck]

If we blew a chance at a NC because we couldn't beat a mediocre Pitt team Id still be burning couches ten years later.

 

[HOFCeluck]

Auburn?

Yes.

 

[Alsacs]

Auburn?

Yeah they count.
Oregon has played for 2 titles as well.

 

[Consigliere]

Assume we crack the Top 12 Tuesday night. Is it conceivable that with a close loss to ND and a win over BC along with a couple of other favorable results the committee keeps us in position for a New Years Bowl? Doesn't seem to be too much of a reach.

 

[baggerbob]

We’re better, have a better record, ranked higher, actually ranked, and only lost because their kicker had a career day.

Pitt

And missed a 36 and 47 yard kick the next week against Notre Dame which would have won the game.

 

[TexanMark]

They beat us.

So we should of been in Clemson's Bowl last year?

hopefully we just win

Very possible depending on how other teams near us do.

 

[Chris02M]

id guess any loss we are out of ny 6 possibilities as were going to have to be top 10 to make it

 

[CousCuse]

Yeah they count.
Oregon has played for 2 titles as well.

Auburn's been a power for a long time, at least a minor power. Oregon was at the peak of Kelley's Quack attack. The Orange are from out of the blue.

 

[Pearl309]

Lol
When was the last time any of us speculated bowl games
This is awesome

 

[anomander]

I don’t care where we go - I care more about who we are playing

Nah the bowl counts more than the team. I’m 20 years we will remember what bowl we went to not who we played. At that point it’s just gravy.

 

[Hoo's That]

We beat va tech in 01 and had a better record and they got the gator bowl over us.

Different conference. Different rules.

 

[OrangeDW]

Please no more yankees stadium games.

If we’re giving up a home game, I agree.

In this case, ND is the home team so I’m happy to play it in Yankee Stadium as opposed to at ND.

I have no problem with that but after the 2 pinstripe bowls and this game I'm yankees stadiumed out would prefer something different.

 

[Chris02M]

I think the team will want a warmer bowl against p5 opponent to showcase its team
