So the majority that are out say citrus with high being Sugar and low Liberty. That's quite a spread.

Like many of our fans, they still don't believe what they saw last weekend.

Anything less than New Years 6 Bowl barring major injury is a let down. I believe we’ll get there. We need a Sugar Bowl in the cabinet. That’s the only thing those Douche Bags in oxford can hold above our head.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

CFN isn't even trying.

My pick would be Citrus vs. Penn State.

 

[PineGroveBully]

A sugar bowl isn't what it used to be. Those shitards in Oxford can't grasp that. If you're gonna aim then aim for the top, if not then what's the use.

You think it’s not what it used to be yet we don’t have one. The one time we set up nicely to get it Mullen and Co. allowed them to come into our house in 2015 and beat the **** out of us. Its a New Years 6 Bowl and an Elite Bowl where the Playoff rotates through. I’d love to have one. I guess We’ll agree to disagree.

 

[PineGroveBully]

My point is I don't want something just because OM has one. I want a playoff spot, bc that's what the big boys have. My goal for the team I bleed for is not to match a middle of the road SEC has been. My goal is to be one of the last two teams standing, then kick the other team in the mouth. If that isn't the goal every single season then we've already settled.

 

[RightOfCenter]

If penn state plays like they did last weekend, they will be lucky to get something on the liberty level.

 

[ShrubDog]

First we get pounded with pre-season polls that are wrong. Now they start throwing bowl projections out and there are some teams that haven’t even played a game yet.

 

[DAWGS1.sixpack]

If we’re not in the CFP, I’d like to see a matchup with a Oklahoma, Miami, Penn St, Mich/Mich St, NDame.
DO NOT want to see Nwestern, TCU, UCF type team. Basically want a helmet game and we haven’t played any of those teams, save MI and the U but it’s been while now.

It gets worse. I forgot who it was, but somebody had the sharks projected to a bowl this year. Guess they forgot about that little post season ban thing they got going on up there.

 

[maroonmania]

I think folks are really underplaying the loss of Moorhead at PSU. Remembering back to pre-Moorhead with Hackenburg they were not very good.

 

[VegasDawg13]

It's surprising to me that we only moved up or stayed the same. Not that we necessarily did anything to move down, but I think our schedule looks harder now than it did before the season started.

I would have thought at least one person would have jumped LSU over us, for example.

 

[kired]

I refuse to even look at these bowl projections until November. Completely pointless.

 

[patdog]

You think it’s not what it used to be yet we don’t have one.

We were in the Orange Bowl a few years ago. That's the same thing. But yeah, I'd love to have a NY6 Bowl game this year, whether its a playoff bowl or not.

Yep except this year I expect us to win it our New Years 6. I want something better in the trophy case. The best trophy in there is an Orange Bowl Trophy from the 1940s. Next best thing is a Belk Bowl/Peach Bowl Trophy. I don’t know if they give anything for winning the West. Point is it’s time to upgrade and this team will do it.

 

[Cap'n Geech]

After getting through our FCS game, we now have the 10th most difficult remaining schedule in the country (#2 in the SEC) according to ESPN FPI.

This. Sugar Bowl used to be special because that's where the SEC champion played. Now it's just another NY 6 Bowl because the SEC champ is in the playoff. Anybody that envies OM for playing there is just buying into their hype.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

Any team from the SEC west that wins in Atlanta in December should have its own automatic playoff bid for the foreseeable future

They pretty much do.
