A 6 - 6 Marshall (assuming they win should not be in a bowl). At 6 - 5 possibly but the game would have to be scheduled soon so no way of knowing where Marshall will finish so I say no.
I respectfully disagree. You play to win.
We are in no position to turn down any bowl opportunity.
However, this is just a discussion, so I’m not gonna beat you up for your opinion. And I fully expect our admin to continue to sit on their hands.
Can't play an FCS school and help bowl picture since we've already got the one allowed win. Akron took the SC payday on 12/1, so playing SC is out, ECU took @ NC State, ECU would have been our best option. Teams that still need a game, UCF, Va. Tech, App. St. and So. Miss. If App St. & SO. Miss. want a game they'll likely reschedule for 12/1 their canceled game. That leaves UCF and Va. Tech. neither would likely be a win for us and would have to be played on the road. Should WVU lose another game and get knocked out of Big12 Championship they might want a 12th game in Morgantown. Basically I don't see any good options to pick up another win.
I listed the teams earlier. UCF, WVU and Appalachian State are not gonna schedule considering their contending for respective conference championships.
There are two available FBS teams. UNC and VA Tech.
Two available FCS teams. Tennessee State and Hampton.
