Not if it is Louisiana Tech who just won head to head. If that is what it comes down to, Tech should certainly be selected.

Hey! You guys may go to the Indy Bowl, but I think we's dead tired of the N.O. Bowl.

They have been to three of our games this year. They just like excuses to go to games. But honestly if we didn't win yesterday I'm sure USM would be high on their list and probably still is.

In all seriousness I hope all CUSA teams find bowl games.

Wouldn't surprise me if we got screwed over by the Independence Bowl again. If they have the opportunity to select Tech and don't I hope they go bankrupt and shut that thing down.

6-6 Tech to NO and 8-4 USM to Indy makes sense.

So you're saying that it makes sense to have Tech whose an hour away from Shreveport go almost 4 hours to New Orleans and vice versa with Southern Miss...

Seeing USM has played in NO bowl 20 times, yes.

Maybe because UTSA has the worst C-USA record out of the bowl eligible teams.

I'm not even saying we are better than any of the other bowl eligible teams. This team and staff got overhyped beyond belief. 6-5 > 6-6 though no matter how you slice it. I'd be advocating for the same thing if any other team was in the same boat btw.

Proximity is not a higher qualifier than record.

Of course it is. The conference basically says as much...that they want teams playing nearby when possible to allow as many fans as possible to travel to the game.

And bowl games aren't about who deserves what and whose record is better. It's about MONEY and ticket sales! Bowls care about one thing and it's who can sell the most $50 general admission tickets.
