I like any projection that pits as many CUSA teams against as many P5 teams as possible.

Anything that gives a chance to break the 0-fer.

Tech has been good against P5's in bowl games. The regular season not so much.

NM Bowl (Bonagura): FAU vs. Air Force - very interesting from the standpoint of Air Force attempting revenge for last year.
First Responder's Bowl (Schlabach): Kansas State vs. FAU - P5 opponent
Boca Raton Bowl (Sporting News): FAU vs. Temple - I am so there!
Gasparilla Bowl (CBS Sports): SMU vs. FAU - SMU ran UNT of the field. I want to gauge FAU against them as UNT is clearly having a down year.
Bahamas Bowl (247, CFN): EMU vs. FAU - no ******* way!

If FAU does not win the east....

Bahamas Bowl is the most likely choice. Western, Middle, FIU and ODU already took that trip. So its Marshall and FAU if neither wins the east and FAU is a lot closer than Marshall

I am not saying FAU is not going there. And I have nothing against the Bahamas Bowl per se. I just feel we should try to draw a better opponent.

I can’t believe I’m actually saying this, but as of right now Marshall probably has best chance to win the East. So FAU could very well be looking at Nassau for it’s bowl-game pleasure.

Owl at the Moon projects Rice (6-6) to the Bahamas bowl.

I just don’t see another loss on our schedule. But if somehow we trip up in one game, we still have a solid APR to maybe sneak in at 5-7.

That is both optimistic and realistic.

Wow! So, this week Athlon, CFN, Blitz, 247 Sports, and ESPN's Schlabach, all have LA Tech going to the New Orleans Bowl to play Appy State.

While I would much prefer to play a P5 school with some name recognition, this probably would be a good matchup. Especially since LA Tech has never lost a game to a Sunbelt school.

.......And I'd prefer to be tarred and feathered before playing another Sunbelt school. Unfortunately, the football gods are hell bent on pairing LA Tech against a Sunbelt school whenever possible. We can't escape it.
