Path To A Bowl ..

It'd be awesome if we beat BC and became a WINNING team at 4-3 with a 3-1 ACC record and 2 game winning streak. It'd be a desperately needed step in the right direction and could change perceptions about our program. We have a prime opportunity to do it with the bye week. Therefore we will probably lose.
 
The bye week comes at a great time. Key can do two important things - instill confidence based on how we have competed against Louisville, Ole Miss, Wake and Miami while being clear that you have to be ready to play every week or else you throw away opportunities by playing as poorly as we did against Bowling Green. We would be sitting at a nice place at 4-2 with losses to two top fifteen teams. But, you have to prepare and play with great effort every week.

We could have been 5-1 without a blindside fumble that cost us a game winning field goal as the clock ran down.

I’ll say it. We *should* be 5-1 right now. We gave the Louisville and BG games away. I think that GT is an upper-mid level ACC team right now that has to learn how to win consistently. We haven’t done that since 2018. This is year 5 of that trend and it must be broken.

We probably should be 2-4 since BG blew us out of the water and we get incredibly lucky to beat Miami. But I like the glass half full approach too.
 
75.9% likelihood of beating BC per ESPN. Feels like we have to win that to have a realistic shot at a bowl game.

If you think we gave the BG game away, we apparently watched different games. We got manhandled.

You're out of your mind. We didn't give away BG and Louisville. We were beaten soundly. We're lucky not to be 2-4.

We had one good quarter. Louisville dominated that second half.

we had more total yards and were leading at the start of the 4th quarter - i would still characterize that as "giving away"
 
Same path as always. Beat BC and UVA and then one of Clem, Cuse and UNC.

If we can’t beat Cuse at home with bowl invite on the line then …
 
Let's rename thread to path to ACCC -
Louisville loses to Duke and Miami
Duke loses to FSU and UNC

We just have to win out against BC, UVA, Clem, Cuse, and UNC and we get FSU in ACCC

We could probably even lose to Clemson and mathematically still have a chance

Hey its better than 0.01% chance im pretty sure

People see what they want to see. We clearly, to me at least, gave away the Louisville game. I mean, when you're up 28-13 at the half and 28-23 at the end of the 3rd quarter, then lose 39-34, it's a pretty classic "gave the game away" scenario.

IMPO, we gave away the BGSU game because we didn't prepare for it. That was as sure a win is there is in college football - before the game.
 
Ultimately, it's up to these young men if they want to change the perception of our football program. Yes, the coaches need to put them in position to win and coach them up, but the players have to play four quarters!

I have faith in Coach Key and his staff to turn it around. We will get to a bowl!

Go Jackets!
