It is supposed to be this season but there is almost no way that both the Big10 and the Big12 will be able to fill their spots.

I have a sneaky suspicion that your opinion will not be solicited.

If Doc and the players get to decided the bowl game then they will most likely choose to go to Florida. Its just a logical choice since we have 36 players from Florida and now 9 from Georgia, most family can go watch.

Also I wouldn't mind this year if its a MAC team but Id prefer it be Toledo or even Western Michigan.

Yeah, I know we will most likely be in Florida or, God forbid, the Bahamas. It is the most logical choice, I agree. I was just kinda thinking out loud. Any bowl is better than none.

I like the way 3 out of 4 picked the HOD. CBS Sports obviously doesn't have a clue.

I don't think any of them have a clue. 2017 matchup will be B10 vs B12.

The Bahamas Bowl has looked like its been set aside for the last team in the east that's been eligible. I don't think that will be us this year.

Just say "NO" to the NO Bowl.....I'd rather go to the Turlet Bowl (which, based on our "glorious" play so far, could be our final 2017 destination )

Is the rule for placement still as it was before? The conference goes I order with each place team that is eligible picking where they choose to go?

I wouldn't mind UTSA going back to New Mexico. I really enjoyed Albuquerque. Not so much the fans. But I'd rather get a rematch with New Mexico. However this would also be the Lobos third year in a row if they go to the New Mexico bowl so not sure how that would play out.

Supposed to be, but I don't see how the Big12 finishes with enough bowl eligible teams. I think C-USA will end up in this spot again.

If we do, Tech goes to HOD and UNT to the Armed Forces. The exact opposite as last year

I think we are the one school that WONT be picked for the AFB because Army is contracted for that bowl this year.

^Exactly.

Sending North Texas to the Armed Forces Bowl to face Army again would be a bad move, and I doubt C-USA would let it happen. LA Tech facing Army in the Armed Forces would be a more attractive match-up. North Texas at the HOD makes much more sense, if C-USA ends up taking an open Big12 spot.

Are you forgetting who our commish is?

Highly doubt we make it in AFB

If ODU goes bowling, this conference is really bad.

At this point I hope we beat Charlotte.

I bet UAB starts appearing on the projections. ;-)

I think we SHOULD be bowling this year. However, we still have to put three more wins together.

Pull us off the list
