Latest Bowl Projections

_ I'm hearing that the MAC is likely to turn down a bowl bid. That would leave two openings with the Cajuns, UCLA and ULM available, granted Hawaii falls to Wisconsin and Army loses next week to Navy.

Why would they do that, and which bowl would it be?

I highly doubt if they would turn that down. They would be crazy to do that.

I think there's a simple answer to both questions. Its a recession, and teams dont want to lose money in order to travel across the country for a bowl game that their fans (in UCLA's case) probably dont care a whole lot about.

The MAC is likely going to lose money with at least a few of its bowl games and probably can't afford it. Not sure which team would be out. Have to wait until the weekend.

Interesting tidbit: My sources say that Troy turned down a proposed spot in the EagleBank Bowl against UCLA.

Which bowl tie in is the MAC looking at turning down?

What is the rule for Troy to turn down the N.O. bowl and accept another? I thought someone said that for that to happen the SBC would have to replace Troy with a 7+ win team. So does that mean if Troy opts out Mid Tenn will be in N.O., or does UL stand a chance?

_ Also, we should all be cheering for Nebraska tomorrow. If they are able to upset Texas, then the Texas Bowl will have an open slot. Then if thats the last spot, and its us or UCLA, at least we have a major regional advantage and had dialouge with em last year about a bowl slot. Cmon lord, all I want for Christmas is a bowl bid, and a Sony falt screen, and my foundation fixed. Not too much to ask. _
