Don't know if this increases are chances of a bowl bid.

Be nice to replace LSU in a bowl. But there's a 2-7 P5 team out there somewhere more than likely bowl bound.

At this point, the FIRST bowl that offers is our BEST Bowl.

As long as they have an open bar. Heck, Jr. might even show up for that.

Sounds like BC and other ACC teams are considering the same.

According to my source, BC has opted out, citing physical and mental strain.

I'm loving Mr. McMurphy's latest projection - Gasparilla Bowl (Tampa) – Dec. 26 (ACC vs. SEC), vs. South Carolina.

This guy is all over the place though.

which matchup does more for LU?
A normal down year SC team or any G5 team? As much as I want Coastal or BYU, have to think a chance to beat an SEC team not named Vanderbilt wins out...

An SEC or ACC team probably would give us a bit more cred....but I'd have to go with Coastal above all others for this year, just to settle it for this year once and for all.

You're right BallCoach-not much comparison. A win over an undefeated CCU team that just beat an undefeated BYU team and has received all kinds of attention from ESPN would be a whole lot more profitable and attention grabbing than a win over a South Carolina team with a new coach. Your love affair with the SEC and anything south of the James River clouds your judgement.

South Carolina has only won 2 games vs. a God-awful Vanderbilt and mediocre at best Auburn. Not interested.

Pittsburgh just opted out of a bowl game. More good news for us, providing we can get healthy from COVID.

I just saw some updated projections by CBS. We're no where to be found. VT is projected for Boca Baton now. Too many 3-7 and 2-8 teams are projected for bowls. Hopefully some of the sorry P5 teams will opt out and open the door for Liberty.

Not technically, but according to Damian, it's also owned by ESPN.

Looks like Stanford from the Pac 12 is also deciding not to go to a bowl this year. So far 4 teams (BC, Pitt, Virginia) with more expected are not going to be going bowling by choice. Liberty has more than just a few options available for itself

All of you saying you don't want to play CCU are nuts.

A well-storied rivalry, an undefeated and top-10 Coastal, and probably a national TV game.

You take that before they can hangup the call.

A bowl game vs a Power 5 opponent, will be better than a bowl game vs a Sun Belt opponent.
I will hold firm that the best bowl matchup I have seen is LU vs South Carolina . Now before anyone gets their pantyhose in a wad, I realize SC has a bad record, but they've still a SEC team.
