Latest Bowl Projections From CBS Sports

[techdawg88]

Not enough MWC teams eligible to fulfill their obligation to the NOB this year?

i think if that were to happen then you could see CUSA possibly try to get UAB into the NO Bowl

[anhil8tor]

Any chance the New Orleans Bowl calls us and we answer.. HMMM Any idea who might be matched up with?

[BeauCajun]

MWC has 6 tie ins. (Nola, NM, LV, Idaho, Poinsettia, Hawaii).
Currently 5 eligible (Nevada, Colo St, Boise St, Utah St, Air Force)

SDSU has to win 1 game out of 2 and should. Both ESPN guys have them getting in. Fresno and Wyoming both have to win their last 2 and aren't projected in.

That's 6 teams eligible.

Currently both ESPN guys have Boise St getting the Access bowl and going to Fiesta Bowl and no other MWC teams getting bowl eligible, so that's 5 for the 6 tie ins and 1 team for the access game. So even though they have 6 teams for 6 tie ins, they'd be short.

Then that would make sense for them to pass up the NOB. From a financial as well as a fan perspective. Geographically not close to any members of their conference and payout being the lowest of the 6.

Hopefully we don't get a CUSA team here and someone from a P5 makes an appearance.

Yeah, right now CUSA has 4 eligible for 5 spots.

MT needs to beat FAU to make 5.
UAB plays Marshall and Southern Miss needing to win 1 to be eligible and that would make 6 for 5 spots.
WKU needs 1 win and have UTSA at home to get it. Then they have Marshall. So that is still likely 7 for 5.

So CUSA will have surplus and will probably push to get one in place of the MWC if it happens that Boise gets the access game. Hopefully the P5 will have a few to send this way.

How many mid-majors have finished with 8+ regular season wins and a bowl win in 4 straight years? I don't think it's ever been done. I'd like that little recruiting tool.

Amen my brother. I'm going wherever and whomever we play. Just to be safe, I've had NOLA hotel reservations for weeks. We need to act big time and cut with the excuses.

By now you should know to save a few vacation days for a UL bowl game.

F*gg me

The chitty thing for me, is I have inventory on December 20th. So no matter what bowl we go to on December 20th I am a no go and if it is the NO Bowl, then I won't even be able to watch, due to inventory.

F*gg Me!

That, my friend is a legit reason! F*go me? No, F*go you! Hope y'all are well Dave!z

Geeze the discussion should about making sure you drag everyone possible to whatever bowl game we go to, instead of "I ain't going here" or "I ain't going there."

that's not how the big timers do it.

I am 100% on board with you. BUT we do have to face the facts. As much as 40% of the fans at NOBowl are fair weather fans and are just in New Orleans for the party. They will not travel to any other bowl.

With that said, I will see you in whatever city we are sent.

Actually...that's exactly how the big timers do. Bowl attendance for big teams is god awful considering the size of their fanbases.
