Tenn in a bowl game???? That along is enough for me to dismiss ANYTHING Palm has to say

I think Tennessee limps their way to a 4-8 record with an interim head coach to end the season.

Wait. Jerry Palm has us playing Navy in the Military Bowl?!? That's gotta be 10 straight of the same prediction by him going back to last year! This guy really wants to see this game happen.

Here's the ESPN Bowl Projections Bonagura has GT playing Minnesota in the Pinstripe Bowl while Hale has GT playing Kentucky in the Belk Bowl(I guess he thinks GT will go 8-3 because I don't think 7-4 would get the Belk Bowl). Both of them strangely think Tennessee will play Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl

I wouldn't mind seeing us play Minnesota. I think that would be a good game.

Memphis would run Tenn off the field

Here's a few highlights from the 1970 Peach Bowl

Maybe even until this day, I have never seen an entire team as “quick” as that Arizona State team. Since then I have seen some backfields that were as quick, but not both lines of scrimmage.

Peach Bowl took a gamble inviting ASU and it paid off.

Tennesse is iffy at making a bowl game, but their remaining schedule isnt terribly tough to get 3 wins

Kentucky and Vandy are 50/50 shots. So miss and Mizzou should be a W and LSU should be a loss. Bulk of their schedule is done though.

It would be very ugly I'm sitting here about to watch the Butch Jones Show which should be a hoot

UK is licking their lips wanting UT this Saturday in Commonwealth Stadium UT is red meat right now

That experience is why they ASU helped start the Fiesta Bowl in 1971. ASU running back Art Malone played for the Falcons. The Peach Bowl should have invited 8-3 GT in 1970.

I'd rather an 8-3 GT team play an 8-4 Kentucky team in the Belk Bowl.

It would be fun to put back to back arse whipping on the mildcats

Four ACC teams are bowl eligible: NC State, Clemson, Miami, and VT.

Two more teams need one win: Louisville should be favored in all four of their remaining games. UVA needs to beat Pitt or GT. Otherwise they need to upset Louisville, Miami or VT.

Five teams need two wins. Discounting an upset win, here is what each needs: Syracuse needs to beat Wake and BC. BC needs to beat UConn and Syracuse. Wake needs Syracuse and Duke. Duke needs to beat Army and either Tech or Wake. We need to beat UVA and Duke.

Pitt needs 3 wins: They have to beat UVA and UNC, then upset either VT or Miami.

FSU needs four of their last five: They should be favored to to beat BC, Syracuse, Delaware State, and Florida.

Notwithstanding the possibility of an upset of State, Clemson, Miami or VT, it is likely the ACC will have nine or ten teams bowl eligible at most. UNC is helping several schools play into December. While I am reasonably sure we will beat UVA and Duke, we need to remember that both see us as need to win games as well.

I think FSU would get a bowl bid with a 5-7 record if it came to that.

 

[smathis30]

Is their APR good? IIRC its APR that determines that not choice of bowl sponsor. Also the program. I know a P5 team turned down a bowl invite (last year? 2 years ago?) with a 5-7 record

 

[FightWinDrink]

I think FSU would get a bowl bid with a 5-7 record if it came to that.

it's based on APR and unless theirs dramatically improved from last year they will have no shot at 5-7. Their APR is terrible
