Phil Steele Bowl projections

[Cajunsmike]

_ On Oct. 23, I talked with the media director from the Independence Bowl. He told me an at-large Sun Belt team would have to at least seven wins to play in that bowl. _

With our injury situation, getting 7 wins would be quite an accomplishment.

I may be in the minority here, but I would almost prefer not to be in a bowl game at 6-6. IF we go in at 6-6, then that would mean we go 1-3 in our last four games, and obviously not be playing well. The likelihood that we would lose in a bowl game would be pretty high in that scenario. If we lost under those circumstances, we would end the season with a 6-7 (losing) record, going 1-4 over our last five. Not exactly something to hang our hat on going into next year.

Of course, I hope my argument is moot, and we end up 8-4 going into a bowl.

GEAUX CAJUNS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would definitely go bowling... without a doubt. You have a pretty substantial rest period before the bowl game and much of our current woes are health related. We would be well served with some rest and player assessment at that juncture. I think we would end up being the best 6-6 bowl team that anyone ever faced. Trust me... we would take the bowl... and love it. But...

... we are not gearing for 6-6 at this moment... our mechanics are currently tuning up our engines and making adjustments to beat FAU to bring us to 6-4. Let's take these checkered flags one at a time and see where the bowl picture lines up then.

Yeah, about the only way to get into a bowl game with a "bowl eligible" 6-6 record is to be from a BCS conference. Non-BCS teams can take a seat with that .500 record (in most cases) and wait til next year.
