Rivals.com has the following bowl projections:
NO Bowl - ECU vs. Troy
Little Ceasar's Pizza Bowl (Detroit) - MT vs. Ohio
GMAC Bowl (Moblie) - Central Michigan vs. UCLA
So, the question is, will UCLA go to that bowl? I just don't see UCLA accepting that invitation. If not, I believe, UL remains the next in line. Mobile is a short drive from Lafayette and we should be able to guarantee a lot of fans and sold tickets making us very attractive. This is a better bowl prediction than UCLA going to Detroit where UL has no name recognition. At least we are known in Mobile. It is getting interesting. It may be one in a million, but we ...still have a chance.
BTW, CMU is 10-2 with one of the top QBs in the country. Good passing QBs have destroyed UL. So, we should be careful what we wish for, but a bowl appearance trumps any of that.
