ACC Week 8 bowl projections: Welcome to the club, Syracuse

Eric Dungey and Syracuse continue to impress, and the win against Boston College on Saturday gets the Orange -- at least for now -- into our bowl projections. They'll still need two more wins, which might be tough given the remaining schedule, but Syracuse certainly has shown it's capable of pulling off an upset, so the job isn't impossible.

Meanwhile, Louisville's win officially has the Cardinals bowl eligible (joining Clemson among ACC teams), but the bigger question might be whether Bobby Petrino's crew is good enough to push for a playoff berth.
