    Miami has problems, but Defense is not one of them. During Franks/Roof we used to bet on which quarter do we cross the 50. Vegas doesn’t have over/under for this, but might be looking at 3rd quarter.

    Maybe we could let Miami move the ball into FG position, and let them get 3, then kick to Philyaw - Johnson....trade them 7 for 3...

    For those heading to the game that would like to come join us at our tailgate in closing out the season, we are escaping the turkey and trimmings with a pasta send off to 2019.

    Here's our menu (so far...and subject to edit).

    Per espn fpi, #33 Miami is 9 points better than #67 Duke and Duke has a 32.8% chance of victory.

    In constituent part efficiencies (don't know how calculated), Duke's O is 111th, D is 38th, and kicking teams 5th.

    In the SRS, our Osrs is 90th and our Dsrs is 56th; our offensive yds per play is 118th and our D's is 49th.

    This should inspire them.

    Here's my simple summary:

    Knee. Was. Down.

    If you want to embellish a bit more:

    Block(s) in the back (3, maybe 4) is NOT a reviewable penalty.
    [redacted] them and the horses they rode in on.

    From Stewart Mandel in The Athletic:

    “There are currently 73 eligible teams for 78 spots. I have exactly five — Liberty, Michigan State, North Carolina, Ohio and TCU — joining the pool this weekend. Should there be a shortage, Duke (4-7), Boston College (5-6), Middle Tennessee (4-7) and Ole Miss (4-7) would be next in line based on their latest APR scores.”

    So you’re telling me there is still a chance!

    FWIW...Jerry Palm disagrees and says there are currently 72 eligible teams. Not sure what the discrepancy is.

    If all those teams lose, and we impress someone by beating Miami 100 to 0, maybe, just maybe we sneak in..

    Looks like we have multiple reasons for pulling against the Cheats this weekend.

    Missouri bowl ban upheld. Increases chance a 5-7 team makes a bowl.

    Is infinity+1 reasons more than just infinity reasons, or are they both just infinity?

    Just saw that one of our few bright lights on the football field, kicker AJ Reed, has chosen to graduate and leave the program...might he kick elsewhere next year? He's had a very solid season, one that few expected.
    Bracey is also leaving town, though his production never remotely approached expectations. Best of luck to both of them.

    Duke doesn't have to impress anyone. Their superlative APR will be the deciding factor. But Duke has to get to five.

    It appears, after surveying multiple sources, that the prevailing view is that 72 teams are currently bowl eligible (the 72 teams listed in the link to Jerry Palm's article above). Because Stewart Mandel's article is behind a paywall, I can't figure out which team he's treating as the 73rd bowl-eligible team.

    13 teams are one win away from bowl eligibility (BC, Cheats, Mich St, Neb, TCU, Kent St, Ohio, Colo, Ore St, Miss St, Troy, UL Monroe, Liberty). All of these teams are 5-6, except for Liberty, who is 6-5 but has two FCS wins, and therefore must win 7 games to be bowl eligible. This list excludes Missouri, who is 5-6 but just had its bowl ban upheld. It also excludes Army. As Palm points out in the linked article, Army is 5-6, must get to 7 wins to be bowl eligible (because it has two FCS wins), but plays a 13-game schedule, and therefore can get to 7-6 if it beats Hawaii this week and Navy on December 14, just 6 days before the first bowl games are scheduled to be played. It's hard to imagine that a bowl could hold out until December 14 to see if Army wins its 7th game (against what will likely be a 9-2 Navy team, no less).

    So if we triumph this Saturday to go to 5-7, then we would be eligible for a bowl if fewer than 6 of the 13 teams listed above win this week.

    Colorado, Oregon State, Troy, and UL Monroe are double-digit underdogs; Boston College (+9), Kent State (+5.5), and Nebraska (+5) are less-prohibitive underdogs. Michigan State, Liberty, Ohio, and TCU are double-digit favorites; the Cheats (-8) and Mississippi State (-3) are narrower favorites.

    That means that we should be rooting for the following teams: Akron (tonight), Ole Miss (Thurs), Eastern Mich, Iowa, West Va., App State (all Fri), New Mexico State, Pitt, Maryland (blech), Oregon, NC State, Utah, and Louisiana (all Sat). If eight of those teams win . . . and if we take care of business against Miami . . . and if the Bowl Powers That Be do not hold out to see how Army fares in three weeks . . . then we would be bowl eligible, regardless of how impressive our victory of Miami is. (Whether we would accept a bowl bid, of course, is another story, and likely hinges on the timing in relation to exams.)

    My favorite math proof is that of infinity:

    "For every X, there is an X+1"

    So simple, yet so mind-blowing.
