Revoke this guys voting power. See #25.

With a lot of teams in 22nd-35th lost this week, I think our ranking will be somewhere between 25th and 28th. Most likely 27th.

Coach Poll we are #27 as I predicted. I think AP poll we could be 25th or 26th.

Is there a world where we beat Pitt and still don't get ranked? It seems plausible. Part of me really wants to be ranked, part of me thinks the difference in being #25 or ARV isn't a big deal and wants to see a team that feels disrespected going into the Va Tech game.

Not getting ranked is a good thing. Keeps the Orange striving to get better. They lost to Stanford because they were coming off a bye and they thought Stanford would be a cupcake win.

Being ranked is always better than not being ranked. It means more highlights, more attention, better TV slots.

No, it is ALWAYS better to be ranked. ALWAYS!

I meant being ranked before playing Pitt.

Oh, you meant Before playing Pitt. Just Fun'n you.
If you're passionate about the Orange keep posting. It's a mutual joyous (usually) focus for us all.

In hindsight, the Stanford loss at home was a really bad loss. In the 3 weeks after beating Syracuse, they have lost 40-14 @ Clemson, lost 31-7 at home vs VT, and lost 49-7 @ Notre Dame. In total, Stanford has been outscored 120-28 over the past 3 weeks.

In hindsight? Who didnt see that as a bad game when they lost it? Only the delusional folks tried to convince themselves that Stanford was anything more than a mediocre to awful team

I meant before playing Pitt.

You can say that again! ;-)

 

[richmondcuse03]

Do we think fanalways means before pitt or after? i'm confused.

 

[Eric15]

I need to stay off this forum.

To clarify, did you mean before playing Pitt?

 

[SmilinBob]

We have to win the ACC Championship to go to the playoffs.

Unfortunately have to agree. SU can win out and still not sniff that game as long as Clemson and SMU win out as well.

 

[Goin' Deep]

After the NC ST game, Coach Brown press conf. he stated Cuse is nowhere near reaching the potential of this team...or something to that effect. Pitt is a solid team...California Cinn. and West Va to date are their best wins. If indeed, CUSE has "another gear", we will beat PITT and we will be ranked.

Anyone who doesn't understand that if Fran goes 11-1 including beating Miami, we are in. The networks in a case like that would ensure Syracuse gets in.
The hype for that game with Fran is what sells for the Networks. Anyone who believes these committees don't do what the Networks want, remember FSU.

Beating Miami and going 11-1 gets us to the ACC Championship game. Not the playoffs. Lose the Championship game and we are a two loss team and we are denied. We need to win the conference or we are not going to the playoffs, which means to realistically have a shot we need to go 12-1. Win and we are in. Lose and we’re going to a very nice bowl game.

Not sure that's right. SMU could go 11-1 and they would get in to the ACC Champ game instead of us because their loss was OOC.
