UNC seeing Orange this Winter
- Thread starter Tom79
- Start date
I guess winning is so unusual for UNC football that jumping the gun is to be expected.
UNC won't go to the Orange Bowl because they were 7-1 in the first week of November. There are still 4 games that require more focus than the previous 8 games. Mack Brown has NEVER won a game in Charlottesville, VA. That should be the focus.
I don't even want to begin to count the number of players that will quit on the team when it gets to whatever bowl game they play.

Both writers who make the bowl predictions for ESPN have us in the orange bowl right now. One of them has us facing Alabama. I don't see that going well for us, but if that matchup happens and we can keep it respectable then that would be huge for recruiting.
I'm not sure there would be many impactful players sitting out. Downs probably would. Green as well, but who else that's any good? Most of our players that are impact players aren't draft eligible.
Well... Downs is a huge impact player. He's about as integral as it gets outside of Maye.
But, as I said, we have 4 games to play and they need to be won, not speculated or overlooked dreaming of Orange.
I think the fans are allowed to speculate about bowls. It's not a big deal for us to do it. Leave the one game at a time thing to the team.
Oh, they're absolutely allowed to do it. Like I said, I guess that comes with winning.
My hope, at this point, is to beat UVA and NCSU. I gotta believe that there's an "oopsie-daisy" left on the schedule. I don't want it to be either of those.
If this team wins the Coastal, it will be in the Orange Bowl if Clemson gets into the playoffs, or if it beats Clemson in the ACC Championship.
Yeah. If there must be another regular season loss, losing to Wake is much less hard to take than losing to Moo or UVA.
They can still win the Coastal and not be in the Orange Bowl. It comes down to who is the highest in the CFB Playoff standings at the end. If Wake wins out, they probably get it.
