Well that's just ducky. A team that beats Ole Miss vs. a team that can't beat Swiss Miss.

I mean, I'd still take it, but this can't possibly happen, right?

Looks like they pulled these out of a hat....

Temples defense would shut is down.

Talk about a defensive struggle. That game might end in a 2-2 tie.

How is ODU more likely to make a bowl game than FIU? FIU still has games against FAU and Charlotte to get to six wins.

No disrespect but how pissed would Memphis be if they played in St Pete. They are currently undefeated and top 20 (#16) and then to end up there against a possible 6-6 ODU (or FIU) opponent. For Memphis to be here they'd have to lose to Houston but they would/should still be top 25 or 20 I'd think.

Edit: looking at remaining games and they still have Navy (5-1) at home as well as road games at undefeated Temple and Houston so they could end up with 2-3 losses in which case it would fit the record and AAC bowl order

No way is Memphis playing ODU in St. Pete. I can definitely see Marshall/Temple in Miami and USM/ULL in New Orleans though.

And what the **** would Oregon be doing in the Heart of Dallas bowl? These guys think that the Big Ten won't fill all their bowl slots? There's still plenty of football left to be played.

I would not mind a shot at Oregon

A lot of teams would. But I don't think they'll be in the Heart of Dallas Bowl if they make a bowl game. I don't even expect them to be 6-6 at the end of the season. They could end up being 5-7 when everything is finished.

The big 12 has the HoD bowl this season.

The lack of research done speaks volumes to how useless these bowl projection articles actually are

If Marshall somehow wins the C-USA Championship, there is a very good chance it will be MU v. WVU in Dallas. Not the best opponent out there, but this is a possibility.

UTEP bowling at 5-7? It's a possibility, I think. Fortunately and unfortunately.

I bet the HOD bowl is hoping for Texas or Texas Tech and a CUSA West school. I don't know how many people from West Virginia would want to spend Christmas in Dallas. Illinois didn't bring many last year.

Agreed. I think the HOD Bowl has got to go to the CUSA West team. I think the HOD Bowl would prefer that too.

Similar to comments about HoD bowl wanting a CUSA West team, I would like to think New Orleans would want USM. As I mentioned in a previous thread it's been since 2009 that USM has been in a bowl game that was in close proximity to its fan base. USM fans will travel there based on previous bowl games there and IMO the opponent would not determine how many fans would make the trip. 8:00 pm on a Saturday night in the Dome....what's not to like

The belt opponent is the only thing I wouldn't like. But definitely a great date/time/location. I would agree USM is probably at the top of their list.
