New SBC Bowl Ties

[DestinCajun]

The New Orleans bowl would be the best thing for everyone. We would pack the dome with Ragin Cajun fans. Most would be staying in the city so they would need hotels. It would look awesome on national TV to see a sea of red in the Dome. Someone mentioned Tulane as a potential match up but I think that would be awful for the city. If we do make it. Who do you guys think we will play? Doesn't have to be a CUSA team? _

Are you going if we play in it?

Who will we play? What the heck - how about Notre Dame.

  A quick word of advice for UL football fans: slow down on any plans for the postseason.

The Ragin' Cajuns (4-3 overall, 3-0 Sun Belt) entered this weekend tied for first in the league with Troy. With two more victories, they will be bowl-eligible. The conference winner earns an automatic bid to the New Orleans Bowl, which will air live Dec. 21 at 7 p.m. on ESPN.

UL, which plays Florida International on Saturday after an open week, could be bowl-bound even if it does not win the league. If the St. Petersburg Bowl (Big East/Conference USA), PapaJohn's.com Bowl (SEC/Big East) or PetroSun Independence Bowl (Big 12/SEC) don't have enough bowl-eligible teams from their contracted conferences, the Sun Belt will get the first opportunity to fill those slots.

Not so much old news. At least now we know who has first, second, and third choice. That was not reported in prior press releases.
