I have a feeling if we lose ACC CG it’s Holiday for Pitt.

Shoot, I forgot about FSU. I wrote them off. They'd probably get the Gator over Pitt. Need to root for Florida.

Here's mine if Pitt loses to Wake

Orlando: Clemson

Gator: FSU

Charlotte: NC State

Holiday: Pitt

Pinstripe: North Carolina

Fenway Park: Miami

Military: Virginia

After those, its the Tier 2 bowls.

 

[Pitt_Boss]

Agreed. If the ACC-CG is Pitt vs Wake, winner gets Peach loser gets Holiday. Must be nice the be FSU and go 6-6 and get the Gator Bowl. But I think the projections accurately reflect reality.

 

[FireballZ]

Hard to take these projections seriously when they have both Florida and Florida State in bowl games when they play each other this weekend with each at 5-6

Why?

Pitt is going to a NY6 bowl. Why do you care what FSU does?

You're allowed to go to a bowl at 5-7, as long as the 6-win teams aren't enough to fill all the spots.

Looking like not enough 6-6 teams this year. LOL. Could be as many as 5 5-7 teams.

I think Pitt beats Wake but its not a guarantee.

Wow. I had no idea there would be so many sub-.500 spots. I am aware of the rule, i just thought it was odd to project a 5-7 team since there’s normally so few. Doesn’t it go back academic ranking or something if you're 5-7 though?

No. That's no longer a consideration.

 

[TheSpecialSauce]

We will travel to Atlanta or Any Bowl in FL. Possibly Fiesta. But no dice on Holiday Bowl.

Yeah I think so. I read somewhere Rutgers Texas and cal are all most likely in at 5-7 . Crazy

You forgot Sun. Sun is on the same "tier" as those bowls.

BC

 

[TheWerewolfFromTwilight]

If a school like Florida or Florida State accepts a bowl bid at 5-7, that is a turd move equivalent to a millionaire using an EBT card because he lost his job as a hedge fund CEO, didn't care to look for another, and didn't technically have any income that year.

 

[UPitt '89]

BC

BC is a lock to be in the Fenway Bowl.

UNC is going to the Sun.

 

[WishfulPanther]

How Pitt unlucky would it be... If somehow Clemson gets to Charlotte and we have to face surging Clemson team finding its rhythm..

I prefer to think of it this way:

By beating Clemson twice in the same year, Pitt establishes itself as the new kings of the conference. Narduzzi becomes the first coach in the country with a winning record against Dabo Swinney (not even Saban is over .500 against him).

I think the Pitt team would not be as afraid of the challenge as you are.

I was confused when it was labeled predictions, really it's projections....
