RE: Week 1: FIU at Duke (-3.5)
Keep hope alive. BTW, there is zilch percent chance duke goes to a bowl. So duke and Unc are in the same boat.

Duke's got a real chance to make a bowl this year. 5 more games to go. UNC has "zilch percent chance".

Please stop this nonsense
1. who do you forsee those other 5 wins coming against? Not gonna happen.
2. a 6-6 duke team wont get a bowl birth. Not gonna happen.

There are four teams likely to have 6 wins who won't be eligible for a bowl (Penn State, Ohio State, UNC and Central Florida). It may be tough to find enough bowl eligible teams this year to fill all the slots. Bowls might not be excited to invite a Duke team with such poor attendance, but they may not have a choice.

Ken. You listed the teams that we know will not go to a Bowl.
7 is the magic number. No darn way Duke will hit 7 wins. I like Coach Cut, but they have never, ever had a decent defense. They can score points, but they can't answer the bell with a defense. I'm sure that the NCAA wanting all of the bucks will pull a slick one. Duke will not be one of them.

NO bowl will take a 6-6 duke team that may bring less than 1,000 fans.
Mute point regardless, no way duke wins 6

Almost as many as there are in the stands for home football games.

Quote from ESPN today
North Carolina opened the year knowing it won't be eligible for a bowl game due to NCAA sanctions after the reputation-bruising scandal, which might've helped explain the large number of empty seats. And with droves of fans departing by halftime, the second-half setting looked more like a spring game in an empty stadium instead of a season opener.

i thought it was a better than normal crowd to start the game, 41-0 and the heat at half time im sure had WAY more to do with people leaving.
