I think we go 6-6, call it a great first FBS season, and get ready for next season, stay home.

But a bowl game would be mighty cool.

If Liberty can beat UMASS and NMSU and win one of their two FCS games, they will more than likely be in a bowl. This year I don't think there will be enough 6-6 or 6-7 teams. Liberty would be the last bowl pick before a 5-7. If Liberty gets 6-6 and two of the wins are FCS, then they are dependent on a NCAA waiver. That could get dicey unless the NCAA provides another school a similar waiver for this bowl season.

Hope you all can take care of business against UMASS and NMSU. I would love to see Liberty make a bowl this year.

I know typically we would need 5 FBS wins and an FCS win but doesn’t the new rule put in a 6-6 team over an 5-7 regardless?

No, the rule is five fbs and 1 fcs. I thought was part of the process but it is not, NCAA has to grant a waiver for only four FBS wins. I think if it was not a transition year, they would likely grant it. The two fcs win waiver basically is giving them a waiver for the transition year as well. Common sense would say do it, but that likely means the NCAA won't.
