Probably...but I hate that the thought that a mid-tier bowl game is supposed to get us excited. Still living in the past I guess.If someone had said before the season we’re going to give you the Pinstripe….I mean, come on. We’d have been rejoicing.
Grades are human assign ratings and not a stat.
True. That said, if someone said pinstripe at 6-0 we would all be like What?If someone had said before the season we’re going to give you the Pinstripe….I mean, come on. We’d have been rejoicing.

I grade their grading as a poo emoji. Statistically that's what it is, don't blame the statsGrades are human assign ratings and not a stat.
Clemson ND Pitt FSU Wake in whatever order the games wereTrue. That said, if someone said pinstripe at 6-0 we would all be like What?
Expectations change.
That being said, i am excited at the team's step forward and looking forward to the Pinstripe Bowl.
I hear you. But you can't deny 3 quarters into that clemson game you were starting to dream a bitClemson ND Pitt FSU Wake in whatever order the games were
Have we ever had a tougher five game stretch?
Tom, thanks for the updates. Reminded me of the Big East/ACC tournament weekly projections one of the board members used to do. I appreciate your effort. I don't blame Wake fans for being upset. All in all, I would have preferred a different bowl for the players but at least I can travel to the Bronx from CNY and do a day trip with a 2 p.m. kickoff, so it works for me and my sons, even though the tailgaiting at YS is not the best. Hopefully we can give Minnesota fans what we gave them the last time they were disappointed to have to play lowly Syracuse in a bowl.I think this will be my last update.
Spent some time reading a bunch of ACC football message boards.
From what I can piece together, here is how it is going to go down…
Orange Clemson
CheezIt FSU
Gator ND
Holiday UNC
Sun Pitt
Mayo NC State
Pinstripe Syracuse
Military Duke
Fenway UL
Gasparilla Wake
It appears that a huge domino in these selections was what the Pinstripe did. They chose Syracuse (no doubt Syracuse lobbied hard for it).
There were apparently expectations Pitt was going to get the nod here (they apparently preferred it over the Sun). When Syracuse was picked instead, it meant the Sun got Pitt (instead of Duke). Wake was expected to get the Military but with Pitt in the Sun, Duke was sent to the Military. And Wake got bumped from the Military to the Gasparilla.
Duke and Wake fans are not happy. Duke fans really wanted the Mayo Bowl, or at least the Sun given their 8-4 record.
And it appears all but certain the B1G team in the Pinstripe will be Minnesota, whose fans are very unhappy. They think they deserved a more prestigious bowl against a more prestigious opponent.
It appears they are still a very stupid fanbase. I look forward to some interesting conversations on this board with some of them.

Yes. Even Jerry Palm, who is exceptionally awful at this, now has us in the Pinstripe. He had us in the First Responder Bowl as late as last night.Seems like all the world agrees on pinstripe except for one last espn writer who has us in Birmingham
Thanks, Tom. For the kids' sake (and members on this board), I wish they could have gotten a warm weather site, but barring that, This certainly makes the most sense.I think this will be my last update.

Jerry Palm is always the outlier when it comes to SU in bowls. He still had us not playing in a bowl one year even after it was announced we were playing in the Texas Bowl.Yes.

Lots of boneheads doing this.
