BE Bowl Projections (love it, never too early)

[SAMCRO]

Per the ESPN bloggers picking their conferences bowl line ups:
BBVA Compass Bowl: UConn v. Auburn
The rest of the BE:
Orange: Louisville v. FSU
Russell Athletic: USF v. Clemson
Bell: Cinci v. GT
Pinstripe: Rutgers v. Texas Tech
Beef O'Brady: Syracuse v. CUSA team

Orange: Louisville v. FSU
Russell Athletic: USF v. Clemson
Bell: Cinci v. GT
Pinstripe: Rutgers v. Texas Tech
Beef O'Brady: Syracuse v. CUSA team

They must have made a mistake. Normally, the BE Champion ends up in the Orange. They have typed "Louisville," but the correct answer is clearly "UConn"....so weird...

If I'm not mistaken - they (she) originally said we wouldn't make a bowl. All it took was for Pitt to the bed yesterday to bump them out.

I still think we go to the Pinstripe bowl. 'Cuse was there two years ago, Rutgers last year, now, if bowl eligable, we should complete the tri-state trifecta!

That'll be hard to do considering we'll be in Miami when that game is played!

If we are talking about AA she picked UConn to go to a bowl. And Syracuse. And Pitt. And everyone but Temple - but said they would be close.

Which is probably all a mathematical impossibility but that didn't stop her.

No, most recent update from AA and the BE bloggers was updated today. Pitt is off the list and she mentioned Temple on the bubble of BE bowls.

After this week, when 6 BE schools are unbeaten and SyraPitt are combined 0-4 I expect Temple to move up to the Beef O'Brady Bowl, and ESPN to talk about what a bad week the BE had b/c SyraPitt lost.

I was talking about her preseason predictions because it said originally.

Thx Whaler - stand corrected (AA and Mark Schlabach both predicted us to the Compass) it was Brad Edwards that dissed us:

I hope we get a chance to go to the Orange Bowl. I don't think there is a team we can't beat in the BE so it is wide open.

Funny listening to Rod Gilmore and his ESPN buddy during the UL/UK game. He said BE isn't looking too good because Boise lost and Pitt/SU lost. Not a word about the ACC. That's how ESPN spin these things. If Boise's loss is on the BE, why SU and Pitt losses aren't on the ACC? That's ESPiN logic right there.

I should ask my friends at espn.com if those guys really fill out that chart - and if they do if they spend more than 15 seconds on it.

It strikes me like the coaches poll - filled out by SIDs who aren't watching.
