More than likely Sunday. Still some games on Saturday that affect possible bowl openings.

And everyone's still playing the "Directional Michigan" waiting game (who has to be picked even before the mighty Fighting Irish).

So I doubt any bids will be handed out earlier than saturday night.

This could shape up to be a very good Louisiana year if we end up with 3 schools in bowl games, and a good SBC year with 3 schools also in bowl games.

So, when is it official that the SBC "secondary" tie-ins at 6-6 did not hold up in the written contracts?

And...... why did no SBC athletic directors get copies of the contracts ? Would that not have been a smart (or at least responsible) thing to do ?

_ I just want the Cajuns to go SOMEWHERE.....don't care where.

In my order of preference
1. Houston
2. Shreveport
3. Birmingham
4. Honolulu
5. Detroit

But I'll take #5 over #6 any day. _

I am really afraid that Notre Dame will go to Houston. This makes sense and is justifiable to Notre Dame since Rice is also a private university with high academic standards and admission policies. Notre Dame will not want to play in Detroit, Birmingham or Shreveport against a non-BCS state institutions. I am afraid that ESPN will strongly suggest that the Indy Bowl invite Western Michigan to play Louisiana Tech. ESPN will want to avoid a purely regional matchup for TV and figures La. Tech will bring enough fans. I wonder how much influence ESPN will have over the Indy Bowl selection committee? If my worries become realities, the 2 best bowl opportunities for the Cajuns will not be available.

Jay--if NO wants the Cajuns and Birm. wants Troy---why wouldn't Detroit want West. Mich.???????

We still cannot go to New Orleans. They will either get an 8 win Troy or 7 win ASU. New Orleans cannot take a 6 win UL team if the Sun Belt has a 7+ win team available.

WMU cannot go to Motor City because the MAC champion (soon to Ball State) is tied in to the Motor City Bowl.

Because W. Michigan is in the MAC. The MAC champion is already locked into Detroit.
