Depends if good BC or bad BC shows up. The bad one shows up there more often than not.

Let's play what if.....what if BC wins three of last four (assume a loss to FSU), finishing 8-4. What bowl do you realistically see them being invited to?

Detroit or Pinstripe, wont matter if they win 1 more or 3 more

i wouldn't count out the st. pete or shreveport either but i agree with the same pool of bowls whether we win 1 more or the rest of the games

Exactly - unless the dynamics of Bowl selection have changed, there is really no difference between 6-6 and 8-4.

I think a better question is do we have a chance to get ranked at 8-4? I say no. Do we get to be ranked at 7-3 going into FSU? I say no.

When was the last time we were ranked? please get back to me on this question.

eagletx {l Wrote}:I think this is a win we really need to get. Though any of the remaining games are winnable, it would be nice to lock down bowl eligibility this week. Its not like we are playing for any chance of some marquee bowl game, so maybe a win Saturday and everyone might play a little looser in the remaining three games, including the coordinators on both sides of the ball. Get win #6, and the rest of the season can become an experimental lab.

Only way we get ranked is if we win out.

I met a rep from the Pinstripe Bowl last year who said they were pushing hard for a BC-ND matchup. Wouldn't be surprised if they go for us again (provided we're eligible). I think they recognize the draw BC would have in the tristate area and the northeast more generally.

Would not be surprised if this happens, nor would I be surprised if we win this game. Both teams can be good and both teams can suck - and often they do it both in the same game.

I think you're right one one front. VT will load the box and dare Murphy to beat them through the air. Though I think in general VT is vulnerable, I am worried whether we have enough to beat them with an effective passing attack...I think this game as much as any will fall into Day' s lap to scheme. I see us winning by busting a couple of big plays once someone gets to second level, as opposed to controlling the game on the ground. Winning ugly.

You basically described the Clemson game... which we lost in large part because when at least 3 of those big plays that broke failed to score (and some even to gain a yard) because the players didn't do the most basic part of the execution. Point being that this isn't necessarily a winning formula against VT.
