Here are our bowls for this upcoming season. Assuming our champion qualifies for a NY6 bowl, we will have 9 slots for 12 teams. 10 if the proposed Austin bowl gets off the ground, as it is supposed to. Also, if Navy is bowl eligible, and not in NY6, I believe they will automatically go to Armed Forces Bowl. Will all the slots be filled.

Cotton Bowl vs. At Large (Fiesta and Peach are part of playoff).

St. Petersburg Bowl vs. ACC

Military Bowl – vs. ACC

Armed Forces Bowl – vs. Big 12

Miami Beach Bowl vs. MAC

Bahamas Bowl vs. MAC

Boca Raton Bowl vs. Conference USA

Cure Bowl vs. Sun Belt

I may be wrong but I don't believe BYU has a bowl tie-in this year. If not, I'd look for them in the Miami Beach.

tells me that if Memphis can get to 6-6, we'll make a third straight bowl...Orlando could be fun in December.

if we have a good season, I'd love to get an ACC team in St Pete...nice beaches, good opponent.

That's alot of bowls to fill.

Uconn an Tulsa should be ok, memphis, navy, temple, cinci, houston, probably all are in

ECU will easily make a bowl

I just hope so, I think we're going to beat each other up maybe lose the New Year's bowl to Boise, I hope not.

Injuries can derail a season fast and happen unexpectedly, as you and i are both well aware of after last season my friend. We both lost our QBs and watched our seasons toilet bowl

BYU has the Poinsettia bowl in 2016.

Navy is not committed to any bowl this year.

Can't wait for football to start

I know I hate this dead period of sports. Since I'm not a big basketball fan it makes it even worse.

I thought we had flexibility to try and get a P5 opponent to Miami, but that didn't happen last year... I guess if no P5 has more teams than bowls, we don't have anyone to pursue...

That said, 4 P5 games (5 if Access) is pretty good considering our standing in the world of CFB. I think our bowls improve a bit next round. Like our TV deal, we were negotiating under extreme instability and zero history. Now we are better on both fronts.

Been said before, Boise is our number one threat (by far) for the access. Hopefully they keep slipping from their pretty unsustainable record...

What bowl will SMU make in 2017?

That's what fantasy baseball is for.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that Navy gets the AF bowl this year of eligible. It's a pre-AAC tie in that is to be honored.

Uhhhhhh.... fantasy baseball... you might as well tell me i have to live in Mogadishu for a month instead. Anything but that headache please.

I'm a fan of the summers with World Cup Soccer. That cuts the time between the end of basketball and the start of football pretty well.

Wish we could take four or five of these crud bowls and trade them for one half way decent one....gotta love being in the G5.
