Our bowl options were:

1. Possibly play Troy in New Orleans - I think this was a good option, and I think we would have been happy with it, BUT we are whipping Troy in recruiting, so playing this game wouldn't help us much, and could potentially be bad to lose. We may not have had a choice here - FAU and/or UNT might have bumped us from this bowl.

2. Play an AAC team in Florida - While we want to be in the AAC with our old mates, we are recruiting with many of them, and some of them are VERY good. It would be tough to beat Memphis, Navy, or Houston right now. Still, this was a solid option.

3. Play Ohio in the Bahamas - Putting a fairy tale bowl victory on this season would be big, and there is no guarantee we could beat Ohio, but the game looks winnable. Even if we lose, though, it isn't much of a black eye for us. We aren't recruiting against them, so it doesn't affect us much either way.

If you are the coach, which option sounds best?
