Latest Bowl Projections From CBS Sports

We should just schedule no P5 games from here on out.

Look at Marshall's schedule. They ran the table.

G5 is guaranteed one spot in the CFB Selection Committee bowls. They will get it without playing anyone.
Who cares to schedule those big games, when you can get a slot for playing no one.

It's sad when the best opponent on your schedule is WKU. You have got to be kidding me. That will be total BS if Marshall gets rewarded for that.

I agree. They should not reward Marshall for that schedule. This will open up a can of worms for all G5 teams if they see that Marshall gets rewarded for playing no one…

They won in convincing fashion in most cases. Who else among the P5 deserve it? If they go undefeated, they deserve it. Now, if someone was 11-1 with a loss to a good G5 program... or 11-1 with a win over a G5 (and an oops), they'd have an argument. But who has done that?

They may get to play the nechsters in the cusa championship game. Probably will be their stiffest test of the season

I see your logic, but I can think of 3 teams in the Mountain West with more than one loss that would take Marshall out back and give them the Adrian Peterson treatment… Boise State being one of them…

originally Marshall had Ohio St. & Louisville scheduled until they got dropped which is how they ended up with Rhode Island on the schedule

A Sunday night at 8pm isn't exactly great time slot... At least not for attendance in an outdoor game in January.

Well it is the first Sunday night that nationwide fans won't have an nfl game to watch. More likely to get wider range of viewers due to that than random people in California watching at 8 am, and rest of people forgetting the bowl season has started

I'm talking attendance on our part. Not the viewership...you don't think everyone will be "bowled out" by the godaddy bowl and ready for the national championship? There are pros and cons to all of them, I personally will be wherever we go but we have people who don't go to home games because they "don't know where they will park". I don't trust people to drive to mobile for a Sunday night 8pm game against bowling green and sit in 30-40 degree weather, god forbid there be a chance of precipitation. College Gameday seems to do ok starting at 8am every Saturday.

[LOVAQUE]

Who would have thought that after 3 years of bowl games we would be bowl snobs? Guilty as charged. I'll go anywhere in an 8 hour driving range but much prefer the friendly confines of the superdome and New Orleans. I can go a lifetime without going to mobile on a Sunday night in January. Just my personal preference.

How much will Marshall make if they do get the access bowl spot?

Hey! Why the ____ are you here?

I'm reading Ragin Pagin and I'm finding d - bag Tech 88 adding his unsolicited opinion all over this b**tch. Wtf?

Other than Nola Bowl our best option is Indy Bowl.

If you ask all of my west coast friends
The Indy Bowl is the MOST prestigious for which we are being considered
Doesn't it pay more than NOLA ( excluding the fans that we would bring)?
I thought the NOLA Bowl was $500k + % of ticket sales
And I think the Indy Bowl is $1m + % of tickets
IF THIS IS ACCURATE; does this make them close to equal (ESPECIALLY SINCE we will most certainly NOT have 40k fans at Nola based on it being a morning game and fan fatigue given our 4th appearance)?
