Pinstripe v UVa would be fun. I have Cavalier in-laws.
Cactus might be drivable from here.
I worked for banks in Charlotte for several years. Profoundly meh. Have zero interest in playing Clemson.

Yeah a little too soon. Maybe when we have 5 wins with 4 or 5 games to go. Given this schedule.

No need to get worked up or be pragmatic about bowl projections, it's all just for fun (and clicks) - good to see the program actually getting predictions; sometimes I will Crtl+F "Northwestern" in those articles and...0 results.

Nobody is even hypothetically bowl-eligible for another week or two. It's just for fun, but it's nice to see us get recognition ... and hopefully see us rise in the bowl pecking order.

Post week 5:

CBS says ReliaQuest vs A&M (quite a bump up from last week!)

Athlon says Music City vs Kentucky (think I've heard that song before)

ESPN says either Duke's Mayo vs Duke (vomit!) or Pinstripe vs SMU

CFN is still stuck on Pinstripe vs UVa

We have a pretty clear path to bowl eligibility by the time of the Oregon game.

If I recall corectly, I think the name of that tune was, "We're Going to Try to Eject as Many Players as We Can."

Is it too early to dream about a playoff bid? They have a tough road. Even if they take care of Ball State, Rutgers, Michigan State, Minnesota, and Illinois (which I think they can win all those), they have to host a very good Iowa team, and then OSU and Oregon on the road. To make the playoff, they will need to win those first five, and then take two of the last three. I am not sure a three loss team will make the playoff.

I can't help but think how amazing a home playoff game at NRF would be.
