    Auburn is probably not going to make it to the Independence......they only have 5 wins, with Georgia and Alabama left on the schedule.

    Odds are they will finish 5 - 7 and I think La Tech will get the Independence Bowl.

    I posted on their site as well.

    ... and they most likely won't play against K-State. K-State has to win both Nebraska and Iowa State to get in. The wildcats would probably beat ISU but they will have a difficult time with Nebraska.

    Colorado also has to win either their Okie State game or their finale @ Nebraska. I don't think Nebraska losses their last two games so either CU or K-state is at home for the Holidays.

    Ofcourse, all this won't matter to me if we don't win the belt.

    It's hard to figure out Phil Steele. While many other sports sites have been predicting the Cajuns in a bowl game for the last several weeks, Phil Steele has not. It always concerned me, since I have a lot of respect for what Phil Steele says. He, in fact, predicted a win by UTEP last week when everyone else was predicting a UL victory. I find it interesting that Phil Steele would now predict a Cajun bowl appearance for the first time after we lost to UTEP. Believe me when I say this guy has his pulse on what is happening in college football nationally. This is a hugh amount of repsect for the Cajuns and, until now, he has only given us respect within the Sun Belt.

    In Phil Steele's preseason magazine, he predicted the Cajuns would be one of the most improved teams in the country this year and would be bowl eligible.

    I am only saying that dispite his pre-season prediction of a bowl game, he has not been recently listing the Cajuns in his bowl predictions. I am excited that, this late in the season, he believes the Cajuns will be playing in a bowl game.

    He predicted that we would be bowl eligible, not be in a bowl.

    That was before the new tie ins were announced. He had us as bowl eligible but not going to a bowl because, we had only one tie in, after his mag came out the tie ins were announced.

    Even with these tie-ins we need to be 7-5 for them to matter. If we are 6-6 they can pass up any Sun Belt team for anybody they want. If you have a secondary tie-in with a Bowl like the Belt does from what I have read and understand you have to be 7-5.

    Not so, the bowl tie ins we now have, have to take us if the original tie in isnt there. if there is no 8th sec team getting a bid, they HAVE TO take a 6-6 or better SBC team.

    Your wrong..

    30.9.2.1 Exception—12 Game Season. [FBS] An institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be selected for participation in a bowl game under the following circumstances: (Adopted: 4/27/06 effective 8/1/06)

    (a) The institution or its conference has a primary contractual affiliation, which existed prior to the first contest of the applicable season, with the sponsoring bowl organization. In the case of a conference contractual affiliation, all conference teams with winning records must be placed in one of the contracted bowl games before any institution with a record of six wins and six losses may be placed in a contracted bowl game. There shall be no contingency agreements with other sponsoring bowl organizations intended to enable an institution with a record of six wins and six losses to become eligible for those contests; or

    (b) All contractual affiliations per Bylaw 30.9.2.1-(a) have been fulfilled and all institutions with winning records have received bowl invitations (either through a contractual affiliation or as an at-large selection)..

    We have a contingency agreement and as stated above you have a 6-6 record that contingency agreement is thrown out the window.

    I'd love to be wrong on this one but unless I am interpreting this wrong I don't think they can take the 6-6 team unless there are no other 7-5 teams.
