12 of 14 'Belt Teams...

Don’t recall what mattered for JMU probably just not enough being bowl eligible

JMU is in transition from a lower division of competition. They need another season before they can play in a bowl game UNLESS there are circumstances where they are needed to fill 82 bowl team slots. They would get in ahead of 5-7 schools.

The Cajuns qualified getting 6 wins against 6 schools who had a combined 22 wins and 44 losses. Do we really deserve to go to a bowl game?

Absolutely deserve to go bowling. As much as anyone

Believe that’s been answered several times already, but thanks for the response.

So would you feel better if maggard released the same statement backing Dez??

Huff has been at Marshall longer than Dez has been here. The Marshall AD basically cut down on the off season rumor mill and obviously the AD and Coach conversed regarding changes in staff.

With 6-6 being a threshold making a bowl, I’d expect a move in FBS where bonuses given on records, not bowls at 6-6. Eliminate a bonus simply for being average. Or below average, 5th in a 7 team SBCW.


In the meantime, UCLA is stinking things up, Cal up 30-7, 13:35 left.

Because the SBC is a meat grinder. The only way any conference gets 12/14 teams eligible is with a ton of 6-6/7-5 teams. Its how the math works.

This is not what they bargained for, but this is what they get for trying to screw the have nots.

7 of the 12 bowl eligible teams in the belt are 6-6. 5 teams with winning records. 2 with losing records.

ULM did their part to get so many SBC teams eligible.

Kinda like the Vandy of the Belt.

[Big Buds]

If my above math is correct it might not matter. But according to rumors Cal could take the Indy bowl slot from us. So we’d get some other g5 6-6 I guess instead of Texas Tech. Come on bruins.

Do we actually know if the Texas Tech Independence Bowl rumors were true? (Had UCLA won of course)Who is to say they wouldn’t play another SBC team?

[R1Letterman]

Friendly bet…if JMU gets a bowl, it won’t meet their collective expectations.

It’s nice having that many, but at the same time, a lot of 6-6, 7-5 mediocre teams.

Now do p-5 6-6 teams that are 2-6 in conference

ODU, stAte, Georgia State, Troy

Minnesota likely getting in as highest APR
