Well, as of this moment - there's still a (remote/theoretical) chance we could go 9-3.

None of these last 5 games are unwinnable.
We may even be favored in several of them.

I don't think it's likely, but it's not unpossible.


5-0 - extend Dino, Rocky, Beck. 9-3 is an outstanding result for Cuse.
4-1 - yay!! Enjoy the nice bowl game!
3-2 - not bad. Prolly a meh bowl game tho.
2-3 - ugh. Dino's seat getting very, very warm.
1-4 or 0-5 - sharpen the pitchforks and light the torches. He gone.

You just know that the Pitt game is gonna end up being critical -
and we're playing it on a field the quality of a cow pasture, in front of... nearly nobody.

Because: reasons.

Agree with those record-based outcomes. Except for 2-3. I think you gotta dump the guy if he ends the season at 6-6. That's really lousy given how soft-as-butter-left-on-the-counter-for-a-week this schedule is.

Didn't ESPN also say we have the easiest remaining schedule of all P5 schools?

Yes. We don't have a team left that is better than .500. Every game is basically a 50/50. If even 1 game is a blowout loss, Dino's seat should be scalding.
Also worth noting, as we are trending down, the remaining teams we play seem to be trending up.

How did the remaining teams do against Clemson, UNC, and FSU?

how is purdue the worst P5 team?

Pick a ranking tool to get there?

Even FPI has us top 40 now and them 60 ahead of a bunch of P5 teams.

I agree though we need to show it on the field down the stretch.

I hope FPI numbers are great, they have us at 60-90% to win every game.

Beat me too it, Purdue is not the worst P5 team by any measure.

We are "trending down" because we just played the 3 toughest opponents on our schedule, 2 on the road.

VaTech is "trending up" because they beat 2 of the other bottom-feeders in the past 3 games.
They also got romped by FSU.

Let's see where everybody is after we've played the Hokies.
Some of those other remaining opponents will likely have taken some more L's by then.

I meant we were trending down, because after being fairly competitive against an ok Clemson team, we were not remotely competitive against 2 very good teams. A good Syracuse football team stays within 10-14 of those two.

Va Tech rallied in the 2nd half and was within striking range vs. FSU, I think it was somewhere between 8 and 12 points by the 4th quarter before FSU pulled away. We never threatened FSU at any point.

Agreed, I went to both games. VT looked much better.

 

[Crusty]

I think you're right, and we'll know for sure which way it goes after VPI.

Somehow I think this may be the most important game for Dino in a very long time. If we drop to 4-4 I think it will be difficult to do better than 6-6, which won't cut it. Pressure on JW will be intolerable.
