100% agree! This is why we HAVE to get to 7 wins, b/c any BCS conf school will be taken before UL if we have the same records.

As long as ND finishes with 6 wins or more, they will be in a bowl game, PERIOD.

_ so far its looking pretty good

Tuesday:Ball State 22 West Michigan 17
Thursday: Texas 49 Texas AM 39 (aTm finishes 8th in their conference idk if they will get a bowl bid or not so we shall see)
Friday: Wyoming 17 Colorado St. 16 (this could be good for us for a not so impressive W)
Buffalo 9 Kent St 6
Bowling Green 38 Toledo 24 (Bowling Green is impressive, beat Troy and so will we)
Toledo was 5-6 so it kept them below 6. this is good _

Wyoming and Bowling Green both winning hurt as they will now both have 7 wins and these are the teams we are competing against.

_ List of bowl games the sunbelt can hopefully hear from and their scenarios

Troy:
New Orleans Bowl: Our fan base favors this bowl If Troy and Middle Tenn accept bids to more attractive bowls
Papajohns.com: If we beat Troy either them or Midd Tenn can get this bowl considering what Tennesee and South Carolina do
Little Ceasar's: Might not be enough Big 10 teams to fill this spot and Boise St. might get a BCS bid could open for Troy/Middle Tenn depending on tomorrow
GMAC: could see either troy or Middle Tenn here

Middle Tenn:
GMAC: could see either troy or Middle Tenn here
Little Ceasar's: Might not be enough Big 10 teams to fill this spot and Boise St. might get a BCS bid could open for Troy/Middle Tenn depending on tomorrow
Papajohns.com: If we beat Troy either them or Midd Tenn can get this bowl considering what Tennesee and South Carolina do
St. Petersburg: Either Central Florida or Middle Tenn will get this

UL:
New Orleans Bowl: Our fan base favors this bowl If Troy and Middle Tenn accept bids to more attractive bowls
Eagle bank: if Army loses and Notre Dame doesnt get a bid (firing of Charlie Weiss, losing games) _

In order of the most likely bowl bid for UL if UL wins against Troy:
1. New Orleans Bowl if Troy opts out for GMAC Bowl.
2. Texas or Independence Bowl if Nebraska beats Texas in the Big XII championship game or Okla St. is an at-large bid for a BCS game and the Big XII cannot fulfill all 8 bowl slots.
3. GMAC Bowl as the ACC will have 2 bowl slots open and this is more likely
4. Eaglebank Bowl this is the other ACC bowl that the ACC will not fulfill
5. Little Ceaser Bowl as the Big X will have 1 or 2 bowl bid slots open
6. New Mexico Bowl as the MWC will have 2 open slots open
7. Humanitarian Bowl as this is the other MWC bowl slot open

You may have misunderstood what I was saying. I know there's a rule where the bowls have to take a 7-win team over a six-win team, but, I can absolutley assure you, that rule does not apply to Notre Dame, like it or not...

It absolutely does, don't you remember everything from last year? All the bowls were clamoring to get ND, but before ND could be selected, SOMEONE had to choose WMU. After WMU was backed into the Texas bowl, ND at 6-6 was finally able to be courted. Fact is, if ND loses to Stanford, they would be shoved behind us and all 7-5 or better teams.

Wyoming actually finished 6-6 and Bowling Green (honestly) is on a hot streak and has looked better than UL has played so i dont think they will get over looked for a bowl. Toledo was more of a threat for a bowl game than bowling green in my opinion.

[TuffGuy84]

Syracuse is doing us no favors right now, I have the game on right now and they are playing really sloppy. Turnover in their own territory lead to a TD, let Uconn take a kickoff to the house, and let Uconn score a TD with like 5 secs left to go in the first half. On the positive side, syracuse are still in the game, score 28-17 at half.

And congratulations to everyone for wasting your time with bowl talk. It was all pointless without beating Troy.
