Bowl Tie-Ins and Bids?
With us moving to 14, CUSA being downgraded, and us being ahead of CUSA the last couple of years. I wonder how conference realignment will effect bowl tie-ins?
I wonder if the Top American team will have to go against the top Sunbelt team? I wonder if we will get a Bowl tie-in with The Big 12 or SEC? Thoughts ?

Didn't the Bowl Tie-ins change to where we have a guaranteed number of slots and there is a pool by which teams will be chosen?

RE: Bowl Tie-Ins and Bids?
Coastal, App, or Georgia State against ECU in Myrtle Beach makes too much sense to happen.
I know Coastal won't love it but it would be a packed house bowl game and would be a site that ECU fans could also travel to. Given their recent drought, they would sell all of their allotment and then some I'm sure. Heck, since my Dad lives in Myrtle I might even come down for that if it happened.
