Bowl eligible teams and conference tie-ins

[Rainman66]

I have a few questions regarding SBC bowl selections.

Does the conference decide bowl locations?

Does the individual bowl choose the desired schools based on conference tie ins?

Does the SBC championship runner up get to choose its bowl location after the champion goes to New Orleans?

1st place goes to NOLA, other than that, the Bowls invite the teams based upon who they think can make them the most money. For the most part, teams don't choose from a list of bowls.

I want LaTech in the NOLA bowl

79 is the correct number.

I'm thinking one of the MAC schools is odd man out. I'm going with Kent State.

Do you think someone is ready to give Liberty a chance?

Yep

There are lots of projections that have LaTech as the CUSA representative in the N.O. Bowl, but many also predict that the Techsters will face Florida State in the I-Bowl in Shreveport. If given the choice, Tech will opt for the I-Bowl against FSU, which would be the smart thing to do. LaTech would basically be playing at home against FSU, and FSU isn't a very good team this year. Still, a win over an ACC team in a bowl game would serve as a nice signature win for them. Sports fans across the country would notice.

I also think the LaTech coaches are smart enough to know that they want no part of this UL team right now.

If given that opportunity it would be an absolute no brainier for Tech.

Orlando City stadium is out of this world fantastic. It's exactly what we need in Lafayette for UL. Great move by the Cure bowl

This is a great move for the Cure Bowl. It’s a beautiful modern stadium, especially in person, and is in a better location.
