oh my head!
oh my head!
If they want some buzz over a somewhat meaningless bowl game, this is the matchup they want to put in place...oh my head!
Not sure why Syracuse would be double digit underdogs to wake, their offense has been impressive but their defense has been like Swiss cheeseIf 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?
I think their defense is a lot better than last year. That said, yes, double digit favorites is probably a bit over the top.Not sure why Syracuse would be double digit underdogs to wake, their offense has been impressive but their defense has been like Swiss cheese

If the game was played this Saturday, Wake would open as a 4 point favorite at home according to Sagarin Predictor ratings.I think their defense is a lot better than last year. That said, yes, double digit favorites is probably a bit over the top.
I think we have a chance but assuming their are no major injuries, I think they will be favored and they will probably win.
Surprised so many have Syracuse penciled into the Orange. I assume that means a lot of 'experts' think we are going to beat them head to head (and win a bunch of other games too).
Hope it happens. The Orange Bowl would be awesome.
Sagarin is a low rank outlier. Really laggingIf the game was played this Saturday, Wake would open as a 4 point favorite at home according to Sagarin Predictor ratings.
yeah, I am surprised about some of the Orange Bowl predictions too. I would love it to say the least, but I am still feeling Cheez-It Bowl with a 9-3 record, which would be terrific for this program after the last 3 yearsI think their defense is a lot better than last year.

Absolutely. Although I tend to find his lines pretty close to the actual openers.Sagarin is a low rank outlier. Really lagging
Add Mayo to thatOrange Bowl or Cheez it Bowl and I’ll be very very happy
Boo on kst, anyone but them
Would love nothing more then burying Penn State, and exposing the Big 10 as a fraud which outside of Ohio State, they are.
Isn't the Gator bowl just ahead of the Cheez it bowl? I want absolute best bowl possibleOrange Bowl or Cheez it Bowl and I’ll be very very happy
If it’s the same as 2018 then it would be Cheez It over GatorIsn't the Gator bowl just ahead of the Cheez it bowl? I want absolute best bowl possible
If thats the case lets make if to the Cheez It bowl. I wish if was still the Champs Camping World Bowl.If it’s the same as 2018 then it would be Cheez It over Gator
I think we hold serve and pick up 1 on the road. Worst case split at home and 1 road.I had us going 6-6 with us being 4-2 at this point. So my new expectation with the +2 right now would be 8-4.
This simply means he finally watched a game with Syracuse involved.First sign that we garnered a lot of respect even with the loss: the 2-4-7 guy who I have been killing moved us all the way up from the Fenway to the Cheez-It and was very complimentary in his comments.
