New Bowl Projection

Everybody after Vandy has no chance. I'm sure that the NCAA will rule that the school must be a P5 member to get to a bowl with 5 wins.

It will be interesting to see if the NCAA gives the thumb up to letting 5 win teams into bowl games

What else can they do? Cancel
the games?

They will decide the pool of 5-7 eligible teams and they let the bowls sort it out. Since every 6-6 team will be guaranteed a bid, the P5 bowls will fill their open spots with their own 5-7 teams. It really can't happen any other way. No way a P5 team get put into the modern equivalent of the International Bowl when one of their bowl partners has a spot for their travelling fan base.

I wouldn't expect them to. But we'll see if APR really is a determining factor as to which 5-7 schools get picked.
 
If APR is really used as the metric for 5-7 teams, I'll eat my shoes. Aside from UConn, no team on Earth is ever penalized by that stupid requirement.

I'm with Sub - P5 schools will be allowed to fill their tie-ins with 5-7 teams from their conference first. After that, I'm sure the NCAA won't tell bowl games that they have to invite schools with no fans to buy their tickets because of APR. Bowls will select at-large style based on expected ticket sales.

I know this is a pipe dream but when a bunch of 5-7 teams are now filling bowls because there aren't enough 6 win teams, it's time to cut off the bowl games and reduce the number. This is such a joke.

What's going to be a huge problem is HOW a 6-6 school without a home gets a bowl slot. Every bowl with a P5 affiliation will take a 5-7 P5 school in a heartbeat if you let them and leave the 6-6 schools at the altar. What is the selection decision criteria? Personally I'd force the bowl with the highest payouts to take the 6-6 schools first.
 
Bowls will probably be like "Bob are at least gonna try to run an offense?" before inviting us

CBS has us playing against NC State in the PINSTRIPE BOWL

Funny, but I see they have us vs Arizona in the Cure Bowl. It's Syracuse vs Minnesota in the Pinstripe. Are we looking at different versions of the CBS site?

I really hope Pinstripe happens. Still a long shot, but possible. However, If we do go to a Florida bowl, it would be great if we are matched up against a P12 team as mentioned above. I'm just happy we are bowling!!

As for 5-7's, there will be a minimum of two and a maximum of five 5-7 teams in bowls this year, depending oh how KSU, Ga State, and S. Alabama do next weekend (and I was wrong about Vandy being in contention, they ended at 4-8).

Now it's NC State/Minnesota. Looks like they are constantly changing their projections right now.
 
On a side note....when did Tulsa become Bowl Eligible?!? I think they're the one team that I forget is in this conference, let alone their results.

Ha, I forgot about them being AAC middle of the season too. They beat Tulane Friday night to get to 6 wins.

I'm with you on that. We don't play them until 2017 (and we will have played Tulane 3 times before that). This conference scheduling is strange.

Tulsa's results:

Sat, Sept. 5 FL ATLANTIC W, 47-44 ot
Sat, Sept. 12 at New Mexico W, 40-21
Sat, Sept. 19 at Oklahoma L, 38-52
Sat, Oct. 3 HOUSTON L, 24-38
Sat, Oct. 10 LOUISIANA-MONROE W, 34-24
Sat, Oct. 17 at East Carolina L, 17-30
Fri, Oct. 23 MEMPHIS L, 42-66
Sat, Oct. 31 at SMU W, 40-31
Sat, Nov. 7 CENTRAL FLORIDA W, 45-30
Sat, Nov. 14 at Cincinnati L, 38-49
Sat, Nov. 21 NAVY L, 21-44
Fri, Nov. 27 at Tulane W, 45-34

No quality wins but they score a lot of points and most of their losses are to good teams.
 
Itdbe nice to see BYU go to the Royal Purple Bowl in Las Vegas instead of the Hawaii Bowl, then putTulsa in the Cure Bowl. End result we end up in the Hawaii Bowl vs. San Diego State
 
So here's what we know related to the American and Bowls:
1) AAC has 8 bowl eligible teams: Houston, Temple, Navy, USF, Memphis, Cinci, UConn, and Tulsa and 7 bowl tie-ins (Birmingham, St Pete, Miami, Hawaii, Military, Boca, and Cure)
2) The winner of Temple v Houston will go to a NY6 bowl as they will be the two highest ranked from the G5
3) Navy is going to the Military Bowl
4) This leaves 6 teams for 6 more bowls (St Pete, Boca, Miami, Cure, Birmingham, Hawaii). That pretty much ends our availability as an at-large for Pinstripe unless some back room horse trading happens, which I doubt since the Pinstripe may be able to select a 5-7 Nebraska worse case.
 
I would fly to Orlando to watch us play Arizona. There are worse bowl destination spots than Orlando, FL. Saturday game means I don't have to take any additional time off from work if I can find a Friday night flight!

I'll see you there! Only 1hr 45 minutes from me. Made it to the UCF game as well. I know it doesn't bode well for fan turnout to have a Florida bowl game but I would be pumped!

This extra practice argument is as logical as the CT DMV - train people in February to use a new computer system after a system conversion in August.
Then they are surprised transactions take 3 times as long.
Coaches always want more practice but there is wisdom in calling it a season and I said that before yesterday's disaster.

There is wisdom in calling it a posting career too. I said that before today's disaster.

Couldn't disagree more. Extra practices are invaluable to football teams. Especially for the younger players who will get most of the playing time in 2016. I would prefer a bowl game later in the bowl season for even more practices, but we will take what we can get.

Does it ever get tiring trying to look like the smartest person in the room and constantly proving otherwise?

You heard it here first folks - extra practice (especially for a team heavy with underclassmen) is a bad idea. Makes you wonder where all the coaches are lining up to cancel practice.
