CBS Sports Bowl Projections...

[CajunDreDog]

Or, we could play Tech there and still bring more fans than they do...




Nah, nervermind, we would ALL MUCH rather being in NOLA on Dec 22!!!!

Say the unthinkable happens... and we beat Ok St. AND Florida and finish the season UNDEFEATED.

(Guys, calm down, this is purely a conversational HYPOTHETICAL SITUATION, as in just for fun, as in not serious, as in hey, who knows? as in, WE CAN DO THIS, as in, HUD is UNTOUCHABLE, as in... okay I'm done.)

Anyway, say we go undefeated...

What bowl would we get? Would be quite interesting to say the least. What would we be ranked come season's end?

What say you?

If we didn't get a BCS Bowl [which I do not think we would], we would go to New Orleans. We can make more money there than anywhere except a BCS bowl.

If we go undefeated we will be in bcs bowl
that means we beat two solid ooc teams, and that will put as in probably the sugar bowl

I like your words.

Would it not be possible to get a better deal from a bowl like the Peach bowl against a team like Georgia, Clemson, or Georgia Tech?

No. The way bowl payouts typically work is they give you tickets in the face value amount of the payoff. If you don't sell tickets, you eat them. No way we sell enough $100 Peach Bowl tickets to beat what we can make selling 50K NOLA Bowl tickets for an undefeated Cajuns team.

Now a BCS bowl is a whole other kettle of fish..

Is it too much to ask for these "experts" to know the trappings of the Sun Belt bowl selection process?

Not to mention the "anyone but UL" policy in Shreveport.

We can easily go 12-0 this season and would not get a BCS bowl. We haven't proven ourselves yet to the FBS world. It would takes 3-5 years of constant winning (10+ wins) from an SBC team to finally get some recognition and get a BCS bowl. Our SOS would absoultely kill us in the rankings...

My money would be on the Sugar, New Orleans game against an upper-tier opponent would equal sellout, something they couldn't do last year.

Let's say UL goes 11-1. Let's say we're invited to the peach bowl with a school from Georgia or South Carolina. 1) Don't you think UL would sell at least 10,000 tickets to a game in Georgia? 2) Don't you think a game like that would be close to or a complete sell ot guaranteeing both teams the full payout? I'm not even sure if it's possible to have happen, but it seems if UL goes over ten wins there would be other bowls within geographic reach reaching out based on our NOB representation. Nes Pas?

The teams do not share in the bowl's revenue. They only get the money from the tickets allotted to them. Just because UGA or USC sells out, and there are 80000 fans there doesn't mean we get more money. UL will only get the proceeds of the tickets sold through UL.

Because the New Orleans Bowl never sells out, they will give us all the tickets we want.
