Bowls listed:

Independence Bowl vs. ACC or SEC
Heart of Dallas vs. Big 10
Hawaii Bowl vs. MWC
Bahamas Bowl vs. MAC
Boca Bowl vs. MAC

I remember reading that too, but C-USA isn't listing the Independence Bowl as a back up on their site.

Here's the KR video from that absolutely frigid night...

Video shows how many more fans were at the Tech - NIU game than the ULM blowout loss to Ohio.

Okay. We get it.

Boy, I remember that game like it was yesterday. It's amazing how quickly 5.5 years can fly by.

I believe CUSA is a backup in the Independence Bowl in case either the ACC or the SEC can't provide a team. That's why it's lists as "vs ACC or SEC."
