Notre Dame is consistently overrated and think they’re too good for the ACC.

Notre Dame is consistently overrated and think they’re too good for the ACC.

The ESPN FPI still has them top 25. 3-3 with home losses to Stanford and Marshall. Based on that criteria we should be number 1

Most common projections this week are
1. Orange Bowl
2. Cheez It
3. Sun Bowl

USA Today has an accurate projection imo. They said
Clemson Playoff
Wake Orange
Syracuse Gator
UNC Cheez It
NCST Mayo

UNC/Syracuse could probably be used interchangeably for Gator/Cheez It.

If I was projecting right now, I would have Clemson in the playoff, Wake in the Orange, us in the Gator and UNC in the Cheez It.

We really need Clemson to hold serve, finish undefeated and get in the playoff and find a way to finish at least 9-3.

If you look at SU's schedule objectively, I think you have to pencil in losses on the road to Clemson and Wake. We will be double digit underdogs for both of those games.

I like our chances against ND and FSU at home. I like our chances at BC. Pitt on the road will be tough. That seems like a 50-50 game to me.

If we only lose one of those games and end up 9-3, I think we did well.

UNC is 6-1 and has the following games left:

Pitt
at UVa
at Wake
GT
NC State

I think they will lose at Wake. Pitt and NC State are coin flip type games to me. I think they split those. They might lose another one but probably not. I have them finishing 9-3.

Wake is 5-1 and has the following games left:

BC
at UL
at NC State
UNC
Syracuse
at Duke

I think we have the best shot at beating them. Already said I think they will win against us. They have a realistic chance to finish 11-1.

If they do and we finish 9-3, they get the Orange and we or UNC gets the Gator. Given UNC always seems to get the best treatment in these kinds of things, I would expect them to get the Gator if we both finish 9-3 and we get the Cheez It.

Pitt is 4-2 and has the following games left:

at UL
at UNC
Syracuse
at UVa
Duke
at UM

There are a bunch of 50-50 type games left for them. Really not sure how this will end up. My gut feeling is that they will lose on the road to UNC and UM and lose at home to us to finish 7-5. But this is a weak schedule; the only ranked team they have left is us. For now, I am not including them or NC State in consideration for the good Florida bowls.

If we get down to an 8-4 record, that could change.

I think we need to get at least 9 wins in the regular season to ensure we get a bowl in Florida. And even then, I am not sure how things work. I think the Holiday Bowl pays more than the Cheez It Bowl. Does that mean they can choose before the Cheez It, and override the desires of the school they are picking?

 

[PhatOrange]

not seeing double digit underdog to wake unless we loss A listers from the offense. Shrader, Tucker, Berg.

 

[David321]

I for one think we’re gonna beat Wake on the road. We will be playing for a lot, as will both teams. I think our defense and ST are better than theirs, and when we play them it’s not going to be the proverbial shoot out in the OK Corral like their Clemson game was.

[David321]

If we beat Wake H2H, but have 1 or 2 more losses than they, so we get a higher bowl? Their schedule is weaker going forward but I like us to beat them.

wake will lose 1 or 2 games they should not, like the game vs unc last year

This would be heaven and I think expectations should be raised at this point. I don’t think Williams or Duce will miss much time, if any at all. Have to stay healthy and we’ll be fine.

It’s a totally different story when you start out 6-0 like this. The mood in the locker room is different. Everybody is bought in. Obviously the chemistry this team has is off the charts and counts for a lot. But basically having the confidence and swagger knowing you belong after just coming up short last year changes the whole outlook on the season. 8-4 would be a total disappointment from where we are now. I think everybody is just so used to us Fn it up you expect disaster. This is a well rounded, balanced team, that has home run coordinators on both sides of the ball. Stay healthy and it should be 10 wins and a Orange bowl slot at worst.

Is that in San Diego? I wouldn’t mind going to old town again.

Bottom line it’s nice to be in the discussion for quality bowls. Need to keep winning

I was able to get the week off between Christmas and New Year's. I enjoy having the bowls on while I'm spending time with my family, but that week is so much better with an SU game to look forward to.

 

[David321]

Imagine looking up above that Ring of Honor and seeing Orange Bowl 2022? A permanent reminder of this very special team. Got to reach it and win it of course.

I will never take something called the “Cheez It”
bowl seriously.

The Gator Bowl will always hold weight with me.

Gator, Orange, or bust!! No bowls with stupid names I’ve never heard of! Now that we’re already bowl eligible, we can be picky about these things.

All of the bowls are legit to me, the stupid names are just something we have to deal with unfortunately. But agreed that expectations have risen for sure.

Are the only bowls we put on the Dome banner NY6? I noticed the 2018 Camping World isn’t on there and that’s just under the Orange.

Cheez it bowl is the new camping world bowl. It’s awesome. 30 of us went in 2018 in Orlando. Trip of a lifetime. I would love the cheez it again

I laugh at the old Poulan Weedeater Bowl and today's Big Boy Mowers Bowl. I love lawn equipment sponsors!

Orange Bowl or Cheez it Bowl and I’ll be very very happy
