Arkansas State at Troy

[Arkstfan]

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

That game doesn't impact your bowl situation. The game you need to worry about is in Tucson and you need Arizona State to lose so you don't get shut-out.

Explain your logic?

This is not true, we are pulling for Troy IF we want a chance to get to a bowl game. If ASU wins, Troy can give up the NO bowl for a better bowl and ASU would go to the NO bowl because they would be 7-5. If Troy wins, Troy must go to the NO bowl and ASU would be 6-6, therefore the Cajuns would look more appealing to bowls such as the Independence Bowl.

That's what I thought. I would be shocked if ASU can go down to Troy and get a win.

Wow who do you get your info from.

If ASU wins Troy doesn't give up jack, ASU earns the New Orleans Bowl under the tie-breakers. Troy goes to PJ by being 7 win under the contract there.

No combination puts the Cajuns in Indy, New Orleans, or Birmingham.

You MUST have Arizona State to win to open a shot at Houston. What happens in Troy matters to UL solely in determining if you get rings (ASU wins) or do not (Troy wins).

But a Troy loss to ASU takes away Birmingham.

If Troy wins, that would keep them in the NO bowl. That would leave the PJ bowl open, and give the Cajuns a shot at that bowl.

I'm going to respectfully disagree with you that the outcome has no impact on UL. It MAY have no impact, but I feel it (an ASU win) would add to the pressure against UL getting a bid. I would be glad for a co-championship, but fear it could cost us a bowl bid. I'm afraid ASU winning would guarantee the Red Wolves and Troy a bowl bid but keep us on the outside looking in. Sorry. If I knew we'd be in regardless of tonight's outcome, I'd cheer for ASU so we could also be co-champs.

I do agree with you that Troy would NOT give up the NO Bowl if stAte wins. ASU would win its way into the bowl. I also agree it is crucial for our bowl bid to have ASU (the other one) lose.

A ASU lost to Troy means they are another 6-6 team and the Cajuns have more of a shot then the Red Wolfs. Bottomline, a Troy win benefits the Cajuns.

You have ZERO shot at PJ regardless of ASU-Troy.
No shot at Indy either.

Your shot is Houston or Motor City and Motor City will take ASU over UL.

We will see, but that would be based upon what factor?
