The perception pecking order is clear. MAC champ plays runner up in the belt. Belt champ plays runner up in cusa. Cusa champ plays mid level aac.
Sunbelt need to keep winning bowls like they have been. Highest conference bowl win percentage over the last 3 years. Keep that going. 5-0 isn’t out of the question.
Ga state against Wyoming without Ellington will be tough.
FIU vs ASU is interesting.
Liberty and ga so is also interesting
App and Cajuns should be heavy favorites.
Could be worse. How’d you like to be Pitt? 7-5 acc school gets to play a 6-6 Mac school. Woohoo. At least we get the champ.
This falls solely on the shoulders of ____ poor football from the Sun Belt between 2000-2010. It’s all about bowl agreements going back a decade or so.
Fact is Miami-Ohio would likely beat up on a 6-6 Miami team this year. But at the end of the Bowl season precipitation is all that resonates with the masses. Don’t kid yourself, the Hurricanes are hot garbage and although Vegas has them at -6.5 the Bulldogs should walk all over them. Regardless, I’d rather be in your shoes this postseason.
Bottom line, the best bowl for UL, other than a NY6 bowl, was in our grasps. App just happen to be a better team. Regroup, go beat the RedHawks and move on to spring camp with a boatload of confidence.
I'll state this as plainly as I can.
There is zero downside to playing Miami in a bowl.
There are other opponents with more upside but they are unavailable.
This will be a good game.
