Chance of CUSA bowl eligible teams not getting invited...

I highly doubt that any teams get left out. I would think the top teams by the end of the year do not go to originally contracted C-USA bowl games.

There are 39 bowls (plus the CFP championship) so 78 teams are needed. As of right now, there are 50 eligible teams and 21 teams are one win away. Not sure if there will be any 5-7 teams in bowls this year, but would be shocked if more than a few 6-6 teams were left out.

During our first C-USA season (in 2013) we were left out at 6-6

Almost 0. It will take a miracle to fill all the bowls, not to say anything for having left over bowls.

If that happens and MT has six wins we will be the one left out. It's law.

So far, I got 56 teams not getting eligible so if that number holds, we're good. That's 73 that would be eligible leaving 5 spots for 5-7. Pitt lost tonight so that guarantees them to be eliminated. Some things may happen for some more teams to get B.E. but if you go 6-6 or better, you're in.

I "think" the CUSA contracted bowls get first choice, then whomever is left over can go to the (more than likely) better bowl that is not filled by the other conferences. I could be wrong about that though.

Sorry, just too many bowls. They used to be a reward for a good season. Now it's all about money for everyone but the schools. No 6-6 team deserves to go to a bowl. Jmo

ODU could get us to 11 bowl eligible teams. That would be crazy. This conference is pretty good this year. [/quote]

They are still entertaining to watch. I would rather watch two 6-6 teams going at in a bowl game than a NBA or Hockey game.

Lol! That we can agree on. Or NASCAR. Ugh!

Be careful, a WKU fan might jump down your throat and claim this year's conference isn't nearly as good as it was when they were winning it!

Don't care. It's an extra opportunity to watch my team play.

Come to Nashville and I'll take you to a Preds game. You'll change your mind on this :)

Matter of taste. I will take a regular season Florida Panthers game over the Super Bowl.

I hate racing on TV, but it's pretty fun in person.
