Official Ragin Pagin 2018-19 Football Bowl Match-Up & Discussion Thread

Because if sunbelt champ beats their champ they cant look down their noses anymore. By sending a lower ranked to N.O bowl, if they lose its to our champ. If they win, they can say an inferior CUsa team beat the belt champ.

Makes sense

One tiny flaw with their strategery though is that a week ago their champ was beaten by the team that their champs beat yesterday.

Haha. Enjoy your opponent and the desert, tigers.

I loved this one. “What a stupid and boring matchup. This sucks. Group of 5 teams should be relegated to a lower tier league where they belong. Power 5 teams should only have to play other Power 5 teams. Both in regular and postseason play. There is nothing attractive or fun about playing any team from a non-power 5. I hate this committee.”

Pretty indicative of the narcissism of that garbage fan base.

It begs the question as to how they ever could have lost to Troy last year? The bigger they are the harder they fall!

All the bowl spots have been filled. Warhawks don’t get invited to the party.

They're just scared of being the next P5 victim of a G5 program. Do better and next time y'all won't be in the G5 crosshairs.

Cusa champ vs. Mac champ. Looks like CUSA chose that champion match up over the NOLA match up against App.

No harm in losing to MAC champ as that league does not have members in the geographic footprint of CUSA.

It looks like the blooms have fallen off of that rose in Southern Miss and this surprised me.

[Rainman66]

App State is the only SBC team opening as a favorite -9.

Dayum, just realized that. They didn't get an invite, did they?

Georgia southern not favored over a 7-5 emu team seems odd. Maybe the 2 weeks to prepare for the option b.s.

The Sun Belt matchups are, of course, important.

Right now, the SBC sits in third place in the G5. Bowl games are counted in the overall ranking which of course, means $$$

I like the SBC's chances against their opponents.
