I would rather see a more regional team than Marshall. USM is out. I'm not to wild about Memphis. What about Houston or UCF? Are they in the running?

ESPN released their bowl predictions.

Bowl (Matchup)	Mark Schlabach	Bruce Feldman
R+L Carriers New Orleans (C-USA vs. Sun Belt)	Houston vs. Louisiana-Lafayette	Tulane vs. Louisiana-Lafayette

Interestingly, they have Troy in the Papa Johns Bowl and Arkansas State in the Independence Bowl. I suppose they feel the bottom of the SEC won't make it to 6 wins. It would be nice to give the Belt a chance to make some noise.

I'm trying to figure out what Feldman knows that we don't because Tulane will more than likely not be bowling this year.

Tulane would be a disaster for the New Orleans bowl. Houston would be great because they would bring about 10,000 from H-Town and the NOLA area and the Cajun would bring 50,000 alumni and fans from Acadiana and the NOLA area. Plus they would spend the night.

It would be great for recruiting purposes to put a boot in their ass though!

I went look and Tulane would have to win out to become bowl eligible I don't see that happening. Also UCF would have to win 4 of 5 to become bowl eligible.
