Syracuse beat WF

[PHCARD]

Do you realize what this means in ACC rankings?

 

[OlhamCardinal]

We have #2 in the Atlantic division outright? Something else?

 

[Cue Card]

Pretty awesome if you ask me. Didn't expect more than 4 wins total yet won 5 ACC games to finish second behind Clemson in the Atlantic Division.

Not a bad rebuilding year!

 

[PHCARD]

We finished 2nd in our division behind Clemson. We are tied for 3rd in the ACC. Clemson, VA, UofL/VT. Not bad for year 1. We had 0 wins in conference just 12 months ago.

Assures UVA goes to Orange Bowl and I believe it assures us a Tier 1 bowl

if so lets hope we don't meet a team with the size and quality of UKs O and D lines.

Wake finished 8-4 and would be ranked higher than us, hence I think they get a better bowl.

We beat WF. Compare conference wins.

That may be worth something for conference bragging rights but I think the Bowl committee will look at 8-4 vs 7-5 and WF being “ranked” higher.

 

[PHCARD]

But the bowls are set up ACC alignment? Right?

Not sure but Jerry Palm has Virginia in Orange Bowl, Virginia Tech in Belk Bowl, Wake Forest in Sun Bowl and us in Music City Bowl vs Tennessee.

VA might get a very ticked off Saban & team in the Orange.

No. Bama “won’t care” about a “nothing” Orange Bowl

Just like Florida “didn’t care” about the Sugar Bowl.

 

[KerryRhodes]

Bama doesnt care about non playoff howls.

Besides, Florida would get it over Bama. Better wins.

The other possibility I have seen is Military Bowl vs Navy but Navy is 9-2 and might be a slap in their face to face a 7-5 team.

The only good thing about a bowl is the extra practice time. It doesn’t matter what bowl Louisville goes to. Making the bowl was all that matter

Sure it was. UK was our bowl game and we got embarrassed. There’s no amount of practice that’s going to make a difference with that defense. This was their 12th game to improve. Screw the bowl game. Go out and recruit!!!

I wonder if some of you would be less annoyed if we lost 2 more ACC games but we beat KY? Just a confusing thought. I know you probably have to hear crap from KY family/friends/co-workers for another year. I had to put the 18yo grandson in his place when he came home from work. Maybe not for long. Maybe not for more than a month.

Right before they slap us with THAT running game.

Talk about a porous, tired, gassed, thin defense. We would be all of those.

Not trying to be confrontational but how many fans are there that constantly trash UK as being the lap dog in the SEC and us being in the great ACC. Something doesn’t add up?
