If we can somehow squeak by Tech this weekend, suddenly we have to be considered again after two long years of being very poor. Ain't it nice?

If Tech is bowl eligible and doesn't win the conference, they will more than likely play in the Indy Bowl. There was an Indy Bowl Rep at the UTSA game last Saturday. From what I know and have heard, both parties were hurt by the debacle of 2011 and want to mend fences. I am a fan of the I-bowl and would love to see the Dawgs there.

Our bowl hopes went out the window at FAU in 2nd half....This point our defense does not deserve a bowl bid..

Latest projections from SBNation:

New Mexico - Rice Utah State 12/20/2014 Albuquerque, NM C-USA vs. MWC 2-7

Heart of Dallas - Northwestern UTEP 12/26/2014 Dallas, TX Big Ten/Big 12 7 vs. C-USA

Bahamas Marshall - Northern Illinois 12/24/2014 Nassau, BS C-USA vs. MAC 4/5

Hawaii - Western Kentucky Fresno State 12/24/2014 Honolulu, HI C-USA vs. MWC 2-7

Boca - Florida Atlantic Ohio 12/23/2014 Boca Raton, FL C-USA vs. MAC 4/5

Bitcoin - UCF Middle Tennessee 12/26/2014 St. Petersburg, FL American vs. C-USA (ACC conditional)

Independence - UL Monroe* Louisiana Tech 12/27/2014 Shreveport, LA ACC vs. SEC 10 (C-USA conditional)

UAB is 4-3 and has to win at least 2 games. Go ahead and toss Arky unless we have a miracle game. No C-USA team has beaten a P5 yet this year.

@ Arkansas
@ FAU
LA Tech - 1st west
Marshall - 1st east
@ Southern Miss

Memphis and UAB in the Birmingham Bowl would make Tiger heads explode.

usually, I would say you can toss the Marshall game as well, but Marshall, on the road, is a different proposition apparently.

Unless your coach is leaving.. and wants to have a vacation in Hawaii or the Bahamas.

FAU and USM are the best options but I'm not certain we'll be favored in either. Tough road but it can be done if Blazers go without 10 penalties and 3 turnovers a game.

What about LaTech? You have them at home.

Blazers can win. LA Tech isn't undefeated in C-USA play by accident, though. I think the NW ST game was just a fluke.

MT to the Bahamas

You heard it here tenth.

Honestly, is there a bigger 'lock' in the bowl landscape this year than MT to the Bahamas?

UAB will win two of their remaining five games. I know BeliefBlazer sorta contradicts his handle name but I have faith in Coach Bill Clark to get UAB two more wins.

I don't think I like your attitude! I picked the Blazers to BEAT Arkansas this coming weekend. Now, get with the program.

You are so right. The administration's dream destination. Dr. McPhee returns to his native land! Who says "You can't go home again"?

From the Sporting News:

Dec. 20: Gildan New Mexico Bowl: San Diego State vs. Louisiana Tech

Dec. 23: Boca Raton Bowl: Central Michigan vs. Rice

Dec. 24: Popeyes Bahamas Bowl: UAB vs. Western Michigan

Dec. 24: Sheraton Hawaii Bowl: Middle Tennessee State vs. Nevada

Dec. 26: BITCOIN St. Petersburg Bowl: UCF vs. UTEP

Dec. 31: Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl: Marshall vs. Ole Miss

They don't have us in the HoD Bowl or Indy Bowl even though they think the SEC won't have a team there. Obviously they don't have a good handle on bowl tie-ins but at least they got the Access Bowl right.

we are going to the bahamas

Unless we tank.

I do think we need 7 wins, not 6.

MTSU will be in the Bahamas. I think Tech will be in the Indy. Marshall will be in the HOD. UAB, RICE, FIU, and another will fill in the rest. I'm sure most UAB and FIU fans are like Tech fans who will take anything they can get. I may have preferences, but I don't have standards. lol

Ha, that describes me. I'd prefer Boca but I'd love it even if the guys go to Hawai'i. Just get to 6 (or 7) wins.
