8 in with Marshall and UTSA still waiting
Marshall is in somewhere as they have 7 wins
Armed Forces vs Army opponent not announced
WMU (MAC) has announced they aren’t in a bowl game

Whah?!?! FAU plays the #2 MAC school in their home stadium on a Tuesday night?

That's the reward for the conference champion? This is a strange combination on a number of levels.

Was hoping for all ten to get in. We needed New Mexico St to lose yesterday to clear that path.

Marshall to the NM Bowl

Should have matched up FAU vs USF in Boca.

Southern Miss didn't win the conference championship, but Southern Miss wins the conference.

Best bowl USM has had in years. Glad we are playing after Christmas. My family is planning on going!

And you may have a chance for a famous victory.

With multiple reports of Marshall to New Mexico that means CUSA will have 4 teams playing in 5 games on opening day. Hopefully it will all be good attention. And then we follow that with a CUSA team playing the only game on the next 3 possible bowl days (Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday) followed by UAB playing in game 1 on Friday.

Why wasn't that FAU's bowl game?

See the Brett McMurphy thread. Plenty of discussion/speculation there about it

If you were FSU, would you want to play any Florida team in a FL bowl in a down year?

We're imagining that, perhaps, FSU did not want to end a disappointing season (by their standards) having lost to a G5 team on national TV.

Yeah it's garbage. See the McMurphy thread lol

It's better for me than temple cuz I live in ne Ohio and know a lot of Akron alumni. But playing at home in a bowl game with our season is garbage

Maybe they think it is better to lose to a G5 out of state team.

P.S. Doctor Kelly (FAU Pres.) says that the negotiations were left to the Conference. So, the blame for only scheduling Akron is split between the school and the conference.

9 out of 10 eligible teams making it...not bad...good infusion of cash and hopefully 9 victories!

If you're FSU, where do you think is the higher likelihood of winning? vs. USM or vs. FAU?
