Syracuse bowl chances

[LeMoyneCuse]

SP+ has upgraded Cuse's chances of making a bowl to 57%. Up from 9% at the start of the season.

We just need to go 3-5 the rest of the way, I’m liking our odds. Our conference is weak. If we can get the passing game together, watch out ACC.

Our road games IMO are easier than our home games. That never bodes well for getting to 6 Ws.

After this week I would likely rank it as:

BC
@FSU
@Louisville
Clemson
Pitt
Wake
@VA Tech
@NC State

I cant wait to troll the media dolts who said this team might not even get to three wins ALL season!

No idea what VT is..

Beat UNC game 1, nice but GT throttled UNC
lost to WVU
struggled vs Richmond

ND/Pitt they could lose those as well

noon game vs SU at 3-3 would be good for us.

if they dont beat SU and 4 more road games they are looking at 4-8.

I don't think it is the best metric but I like looking at the Sagarin from time to time as it ranks FCS teams as well. Six of our last eight games are against the Top 42 teams.

Teams we have played
34. Rutgers
57. Liberty
142. Ohio
195. Albany

Teams left
10. Clemson
20. Wake
22. NC State
31. Pitt
39. VA Tech
42. BC
56. Louisville
101. FSU

This could be a 2013 like year where we beat the bad teams and lose to the good teams. Unfortunately we probably can't get better than 5-7 as there aren't enough bad teams. We would need another team to fall outside the Top 50 (BC? VA Tech?).

2013
Ws #64, #73, #86, #91, #113, #236
Ls #1, #14, #37, #53, #55, #65

Crazy that Shafer's best year had all 6 regular season Ws outside the Top 60.

We had rutgers

Not crazy. Telling.

This season has been so bananas thus far, it's far too early to say anything is unlikely - including Cuse beating a team that ranks in the Top 50 in Sagarin.

6-1 SU @ 3-3 VT will probably get a time slot later in the day.
