stAte misses bowl season for the first time in a decade and the whole thing falls apart. Not surprised.

UCLA will not be bowling this year. With all these teams dumping bowl season, for sure they can find a way to get Coastal, Louisiana and Cincy in bowl games against deserving P5 schools.

We picked the best possible year to stink. Most people will simply write this off as the year of Covid and all but the few good teams will end up being forgotten.

We picked the best possible year to stay hot and take advantage of the situation. The exposure the Louisiana brand has received this year is priceless.

Seems like App and GS opted to not play in two bowl games.

Shame

If this was logistically possible, why would this not have worked out?

Maybe didn’t want to introduce additional Covid risks for minimal reward of playing another G5 bowl game. Conservative approach.

Yeah. Same thing everyone in the sports world is asking Gill about the SBC CCG.

I think whoever wins the CCG will take the cake for biggest screw job in recent CFB history.

Hmm. Sounds familiar. Looking forward to watching Coastal fans meltdown.

This season, brought to you by = *

Meltdown about what? I don't think there is any realistic expectation that we have a higher bowl than the contracted SBC bowl.

Camelia Bowl gets Buffalo and Marshall.

Sunbelt lost the tie in this year.

Any hope of Troy sliding into a bowl is dashed.

If a bowl wants Troy they'll be in one. Tons of cancellations this year.

Yeah. A million time yeah. I suppose if my season sucked bigly and I blew a chance for all the fantastic PR UL has gotten I’d take the ‘none of it matters’ approach. Nah. I would not be so cowardly on second thought.

We barely have the depth to play our bowl game as is.

This will be our 13th game as well, so I imagine we're ready to put the stamp on this season and move on.

MAC Champ vs Ranked MWC Champ in Arizona Bowl that'll air on CBS.

MAC #2 vs CUSA #2 in the Camellia Bowl.

CUSA East #2 vs AAC #3 in Montgomery Bowl

SBC East #3 vs CUSA East #3 in Mobile Bowl

SBC East #4 vs CUSA West #3 in New Orleans Bowl

SBC East #2 vs CUSA West #4 in Myrtle Beach Bowl

So either have a really good season, or a really bad season this year. If you just have an average season, you are wasting the opportunity?
