This is not the fault of the conference title game, it's the fault of Houston for not showing up in this game. USM took it seriously and are gonna win a conference title.Quote:

Do you really honestly believe that Houston didn't take this game seriously?Quote:

I think there may be 6 CUSA bowl tie-ins.
Houston just ____ed away a mega pay day for them and CUSA. Congrats to USM.....no gimme win, they earned it.
It brings into question the risk versus reward of conference championship games. There have been numerous instances that conference championships have screwed the conference. They have almost no potential whatsoever of improving the conference postseason situation but have proven to cost conferences over and over again.

5th choice C-USA. Who?
Ironic, wanting more money, by getting a televised championship game, and then losing money because of the result.Quote:

If you eliminate Houston & S. Miss as possibilites you are left with Tulsa, SMU, and Marshall as possibilites.Quote:

Go Boise State!
Very true. We'll have to see how the selection process works out from here on out.Quote:

Looks like Cajuns-Thundering Herd on December 17th. D#%n you Houston!!!
I believe it's a 50/50 of USM being pretty decent and Houston being overrated. I feel like championship games are notorious for the top rated team to slack off and the opponent stepping up. They are simply not good for the conference when you look at the current postseason format. I know why split division conferences have them, but they're problematic.Quote:

Best thing we can do is blow whatever MAC team it is clear off of the field.
If it is a MAC team, I hope its Temple.Quote:

If FIU took the Beef O Bradys bid their taking one of the CUSA bids right?
