When the alternatives are the garbage dump of the Sun Belt and CUSA in middle December, I'm thrilled with a P5 opponent in a NYE bowl.

RE: Ridiculously early Bowl Projections
Do we know the rest of the AAC bowl lineup yet? Outside of the access bowl, this is as good as we can get in our P6 conference

X2. This thread would be 25 pages long if we drew Southern Miss.

Actually not that bad of a lineup for the conference. 4 against p5 and Houston draws a ranked army team.

LSU is very beatable too. Wouldn't be surprised to see UCF pull it off again.

If Houston was at full strength would give them better odds. When King QB got injured I think he had 36 TDs and 6 INTs. Oliver isn't playing either. It is a good lineup for sure.

RE: Ridiculously early Bowl Projections
Monday afternoon against a school we've already played twice in bowls in the last decade. Meh. I guess it's okay if you're retired or unemployed.

It's New Years Eve. For most jobs you have to take one day. It's kind of a great situation for traveling and taking a long weekend.

Not if you have a job where you have to put in for vacation about a year in advance. Maybe if bowl organizers concentrated the games on weekends they wouldn't have oceans of empty seats for their games. Cold weather game against the same school we played in the same bowl a few years ago. Big disappointment IMO.

Yep. Don't get me wrong, glad we are in a bowl, glad we are playing someone relevant. I just like it when we are matched up against teams we have never played or not in a long time.

Looks like attendance is pretty good at the Military Bowl and capacity is usually achieved.

Outstanding!!!!
Uh PAC or Big 12? Big Ten (Ohio State) have won 1 of 4 championships. The rest has been won by 2 teams Alabama and Clemson.
What would be Outstanding!!! Is if the playoff were the below
1) Alabama
2) Clemson
3) Oklahoma
4) Ohio State
5) Washington
6) UCF
7) Notre Dame
8) Georgia
1-5: conference champion. Ranked on conference strength for the year or strength of schedule for the champion.
6: top G5.
7-8: use BCS rankings for the last two spots.
A plus to this is Notre Dame would finally have to join a conference.
O$U are legends in their own minds.
Nobody gets more mileage out of a blowout win against sorry a$$ Michigan than the mighty nuts.
F*** yeah we get pumped we beat the crap out of Michigan and you can bet your own a$$ when we beat the crap out of sorry a$$ Eggs in b-ball I and I would think most UC fans get pumped too. I’d say pretty normal in rivalry games ya nard lol

Unfortunately all of our halfway decent bowls are against mediocre ACC teams. And most of the mediocre ACC teams are usually mediocre most years. Still way better than Sunbelt or CUSA.

RE: Ridiculously early Bowl Projections
Love NYE
OK about Annapolis. Good tailgating but could be cold.
Ok about opponent. Same as everyone else it’s nice playing a team you don’t get to match up with often. But I feel like there is somewhat of a common respect between the two fan bases at least.
All in all I’ll give the bowl game a B-
Now let’s go win one for once!
