I really don't know how they are ranked 73rd. The breakdown is actually quite positive but 73rd/one slot ahead of RU? Nah

No way we finish that low.

Even more interestingly, they haven't yet ranked Central Michigan or Maryland (unless I missed them due to the lateness of the hour).

Which means the only teams they think we are better than on our schedule are Wake, NC State, and BC.

That ranking (73rd, but with a shot at a bowl game) is low, but the write-up is decent. We need balance (better passing game) and our play-makers have to emerge.
So, it is up to Hunt, Estime, Morris/McFarlane, Broyld and Parris to improve. And Orange fans are confident they will.

Everyone that flipped out at being ranked 55th, this is the proper place to be frustrated.

Well I would say an immediate conflict with his article is his projection that we'll make a bowl - he ranks us 73 yet there are only 35 bowls. 35*2 = 70 teams. So yeah there's that. We should at a minimum be in the 60's if he's projecting us to a bowl.

Edit: I just looked at the 2014-2015 bowl schedule, there are 40 bowls this year. Really? Nevermind.
