    You mean like the time a Bobby Knight player at Indiana posed for a fund-raising calendar and got suspended for one game and a week later the NCAA handed down a 2 game suspension to a player at one of the MAC schools in Indiana for the same thing?

    So...we want ASU to win so they can lock up the NO Bowl, Troy goes to Papa Johns, and we do not have another regionally close 6-6 SBC team for the others to choose from?

    You want ASU to win so you are co-champs.

    You want Arizona State to lose and free up Hawaii so Notre Dame will go there instead of Houston.

    Indy isn't taking a Sun Belt team.

    PapaJohns isn't taking a Sun Belt unless its 7 win Troy.

    Houston isn't taking ASU over UL.

    Arkansas State winning or losing has zero impact except on whether you get champion rings.

    Arizona State winning probably ends your season no matter what happens at Troy today.

    Do you predict that WMU goes to the indy? I think that is the only way that they wouldent take a SB team in your scenario unless by some miracle, NC State forgoes the 2 bowl games closer to home (papajohns and motor city) to go to Shreveport. If they don't take a SB team, the options are NIU and Bowling green and why on earth would they sacrifice attendance and game hype just to keep a SB team out.

    Because they'd rather kill the bowl than sell tickets to people who paid the taxes that have helped prop the game up for years or to people who might actually become semi-regular visitors to Shreveport and the casinos.

    I really don't see how Ark. State winning would do us any good. If Troy wins they are in N.O. Bowl. The other Bowls will have to choose b/t Louisiana, Ark. St., and FAU after that? I like our chances against a 6-6 Ark st, and FAU team.

    Does not do you any bad either. Arizona-Arizona State is your key game.

    Mark, you can't tell me that another program going 7-5 and getting a automatic bowl slot benefits the Cajuns. Right now,a Troy win and Arizona win benefits the Cajuns period. Troy going to PappaJohn would send NC State to the Texas Bowl. Of course that would be if Notre Dame opts for Hawaii.

    I've told you guys repeatedly today. You need Notre Dame in Hawaii. PJ isn't in play for you under any circumstance nor is Indy.

    You can believe me or not.

    I didn't say the PapaJohn bowl is in play for us, but it certainly is in play for NC State. A NC State vs Rutgers game would be very attractive to PappaJohns. If Troy does not win tonight, they have accepted a bid to the PappaJohns. This is not good for the Cajuns, because that would leave the Texas Bowl as a option for NC State. So again, a ASU win tonight does not benefit the Cajuns. I think I made my point clearer in this post.
