Thread: Updated Bowl Projections

    Default Updated Bowl Projections

    All of the above has UL going to a bowl.

    The below link states that a sunbelt team must have 7 wins to be selected.
    If this is true that a sunbelt team must get to 7 wins, then it is impossible for us to go to a bowl and all of the above links are wrong.
    http://myespn.go.com/blogs/ncfnation...edictions.html

    "SUN BELT
    The Sun Belt has just one team with seven wins (Troy) and one team that could gain seven wins (Arkansas State). The Papajohns.com Bowl, Independence Bowl, both with auxiliary tie-ins to the Sun Belt, require the Sun Belt teams to have seven wins for bowl eligibility.

    Troy: The Trojans secured a piece of the Sun Belt title this past weekend, but will need to secure it with a win over Arkansas State in two weeks should the Red Wolves beat North Texas.
    Possibilities: New Orleans Bowl, Papjohns.com Bowl, Independence Bowl.
    Prediction: New Orleans Bowl.

    Still up for grabs: Papajohns.com Bowl, Independence Bowl
    Contenders: Arkansas State"

    ALL THIS BEING SAID WE STILL NEED TO BEAT MT.

    There's NO SUCH RULE stating that Sun Belt teams need 7 wins to become bowl-eligible. THAT'S BULLS__T!! The fool running that blog's an IDIOT!!!

    It says that the papajohns.com bowl and Indy bowl require a SBC team to have 7 wins to be selected. This is partially true. A 6-6 SBC team will not be selected for the papajohns.com bowl or Indy bowl if a 7-5 at-large team is available, so basically, a 7 win SBC team that does not win the regular season title would be a lock for the Indy or papajohns.com bowl if there is an opening in those bowls. If a 7-5 SBC team is available, as well as another 7-5 at-large, the Indy or papajohns.com bowl must select the SBC team.

    I suggest not posting such knee-jerk reactions. You only end up making yourself look like the idiot.

    Apparently none of these bloggers have seen us play our last three games. Because I would be hard pressed to believe that a Bowl would invite a subpar SBC team that is playing terrible football.

    ULL is not going to any other bowl game but the New Orleans Bowl. For a school that is not a name and does not have a consistant winning record over say the last 4 to 6 years no one is going to invite you. Just because 6 wins makes you bowl eligible doesn't automatically entitle you to a bowl game. The Sunbelt will be lucky to get 2 teams in bowl games outside of their automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl.

    The Sunbelt has a contract with papa johns, independence and the st petersburg bowls that if there primary tie-in is not eligible they have to take a 7-5 sun belt team. if there or no 7-5 team they can get any team they want however if there or no 7-5 teams they have to take a 6-6 sun belt team. now go back and hide under your rock

    Well let's see I bet those bowls will find a way to take one of the following teams despite your tie ins if they win this weekend. Louisville, Auburn, Colorado, and Arizona who is 6-5 with one to play. Name teams from name conferences they don't want ULL if they can help it.

    I understand I am just pointing out to you that there are a couple of teams who could very well be 7 - 5 and based on what you wrote earlier they can take a 7-5 team over ULL. I understand but you don't seem to remember what in the world you wrote.

    Seven is bowl eligible. 6-6 is an exception to bowl eligibility.

    Sixes can never be selected over a seven unless there is a primary contract (ie. New Orleans not Indy). This year it is extremely unlikely that there will be enough sevens to remotely come close to filling all the vacancies so few sixes will be left out.

    Speaking precisely. 6-6 is not bowl eligible. Speaking practically, it is.

    Thanks Arkstfan because Clutch 0364 doesn't seem to understand that there is some fine print in those tie ins that might well keep ULL out. Like I said if the Indy Bowl has a shot to get a 7-5 Arizona team as opposed to 6-6 ULL they are going to go for Arizona. You are going to get more fans from A

    This is what you said...

    You said despite our tie-in, which I proved you wrong by saying that they have to take a 6-6 Sunbelt team before a 6-6 team from another conference. You are the one who is confused with your own words not me. Get what you say straight before you try to put words in peoples mouth you LSUA&MBR _____. Pieces of ____ like you are the reason that we hate your school. To bad LSUA&MBR fans are to coward to say half the things they say on here to our face.

    How do you know I am an LSU fan? You are so envious of them you think comments like this automatically come from an LSU fan. Actually it's worse than what you assumed. I am a McNeese fan and yes we had a disappointing season at 7-4 but thats better than 6-6 you are hoping for. At least we have won several Southland Conference Football Championships over the last 25 or so years. How many have you guys won? At least we played for a couple of National Championships. We lost but at least we got there something you will never do. You will be lucky to get much beyond the New Orleans Bowl or Independence Bowl. Oh yeah we got to go to 3 of those and won one of them while you guys were in the Southland with us. I just like to come in here every now and then and irritate you USL fans. Seems that I have been successful again just like we were last year against you guys 38-17.
