SU bowl projections

Yeah I’m definitely not going to that.

Wildhack did a great job of getting SU into the Camping World Bowl in 2018.
This year's team obviously isn't 9-3 but I expect him to not disappoint SU fans again.

And - Cuse Nation showed out HUGE for that.

Be willing to bet it was 3-1 Cuse fans vs. couch burners there.

 

[orange_in_VA]

My top 3 bowls for ability/desire to be there would be:
Military
Mayo
Pinstripe

I won't be going to any other bowl game options unfortunately

yeah, JW has evidence that SU fans show up so that should give him more options for a bowl game.

Just for the entertainment factor on this board - I vote pinstripe vs Illinois.

 

[Eric15]

I get it. But speaking only for myself, I always take the week between Xmas and New Years off. The weekend before Xmas is going to be full of doing other things. Schlepping up to Boston might not be in the cards.

“We’re schlepping up to Boston! Oh oh oh!”

“We’re schlepping up to Boston! Oh oh oh!”

I’m from the area and half my family is Jewish, so this really nails it.

 

[Chris02M]

id think each team is given a list of options and we rank them in order of preference?

 

[Oildrilling]

I’d go to Florida or someplace warm, but no way in hell am I going to Boston or NYC…Even though the pinstripe against WVU was fun.

Pinstripe vs. Illinois would get a large viewership!

I've never been to Fenway and would love to see it. For me to go to another Pinstripe Bowl, the weather would have to be reasonable, like 40 degrees or higher. I'm done freezing my A off at that game. I've done it twice.

A healthy Syracuse against some B10 team in the Pinstripe. It’ll be a hard matchup for us but the month of healing and practices will even that out.

which key injured guys would be available by then

The first one vs Kansas St we got temps in the 50s, pretty good. The West Virginia game was about 40 with wet snow. Kind of a mess, but still not that cold for late December. ( I was at both )

 

[kirbivore]

Sun Bowl is completely out of play? That would be my ideal. I'm guessing the ND situation bumps us out of contention there?

I'd love to see SU in the Sun Bowl but I think they'd always look elsewhere. We'd have to finish 9-3 with an ACC team in playoff for them to be forced to take us.

 

[kirbivore]

Yeah I didn’t realize the Fenway bowl was so damn early. 12/17? Hard pass. Bowl games before Christmas suck.

at 11:00 AM w/o looking at bowl calendar that has to be the first one on the board. If SU gets there I'm making that my biggest point game in the board's espn bowl confidence pool.

With us Yankee teams I think our southern overlords treat us like this

well the 8-4 to 7-5 teams can be chosen in almost any order

 

[SUinNWE]

If they end up at Fenway, I hope the sightlines are better than Yankee stadium. Fun game, horrible for in person football watching.

If you’re sitting first base side, great sightlines. Everywhere else? Hoooooo, boy. I was at one of the high school games they had leading up to thanksgiving and let’s just say it’s not great

Unless I’m having the biggest brain fart ever, there is no way the 2010 KSU game was in the 50s. 50s is like hoodie weather for me. I remember it being frigid and my wife incessantly asking to leave.

 

[FreakTalksAboutSU]

I am officially rooting for. Annapolis. Think I can make that game. May be the only one doable

 

[David321]

Lots of owies should be gone. I don’t know what an owie is, but apparently there are many and I believe said owies will have dissipated.

OK. Bad news. Between changes at the ACC, the schools and different bowl games, I’ve lost 99.9 percent of my best bowl sources. So I have to retire the Yellow Pad Projections. They would just be Yellow Pad Guesses.

i think there was a snow storm right before it too

Adam Terry said that he expected Mikel Jones will be available for a bowl game. Now he might opt to sit out even if he is healthy. But that is one…
