Yeah, I even heard Virginia Tech - of all possibilities - might make a bowl. Talk about a bowl committee scraping the bottom of the barrel.
OVER RATED. They have to get past UVa first. Not gonna happen. :nono :BS :nonono

Win or lose Saturday, the Boo Hoos will emerge from the scum swamps and get a bowl bid someplace. I hope they get sent to a bowl far far away from Charlottesville. So far that their fair weather fans can't make the trip.

Remember the old Bitter Beer Face commercials in the 90’s? That’s all I ever think about when I envision BC.

ODU is in. ODU Insiders say most likely they get Coastal Carolina, to help start building a rivalry.

ODU vs Georgia State in Cure Bowl.

LU vs Marshall in Boca Raton Bowl.

Source: ESPN website

If my count is correct, there are 83 teams bowl eligible, for the 84 slots.

With the Tech and ODU wins yesterday on the last day of the regular season, all 4 in-state FBS schools should go bowling this year. How historic is that? :shock:

CUSA has 8 eligible teams for 7 slots according to article in newspaper. Any bowl that invites ODU is hard up for a team.

The same could be said of LU. ODU dropped the front end of their season, no doubt. BUT...they figured out a way to make adjustments and win the back half. They made the adjustments and improved. So, when compared to other teams, they may have a pretty strong argument for going bowling; moreso than some other teams that are eligible.

Thing about ODU is they were mostly freshman and sophomore. They just needed some snaps. They will be a handful next season.

In my 16 years of coaching LU's Quiz Bowl team, I've probably been to Tech more often than you have. Believe me, I've seen it. Even my students complain about how it looks like a prison.

A wild final week of the season gave us more bowl-eligible teams than bowl spots.

With teams like North Texas and LSU pulling upsets, 83 teams finished the season at 6-6 or better. There are 82 bowl spots, so someone is going to get left out. Who will it be?

There are a couple candidates. The first is a team from the MAC like Ball State or Miami (Ohio). They finished 6-6 and the MAC has had teams left out from bowls before when there are more eligible teams than spots. The other is Liberty. The Flames finished 7-5 and don't have a bowl tie-in as an independent.

We're going with Liberty as the team left out. The MAC has eight bowl-eligible teams and has six bowl tie-ins and the ability to fill a bowl or two in other bowl games. The Quick Lane Bowl was our last game filled this week and we chose Ball State over the Flames because of Ball State's proximity to Detroit. Sorry Liberty, please hope all you want that we're wrong.

I hate to be "that guy" but I had a bad feeling going into these last two games that we could find ourselves in this predicament. The ESPN deal only gives us access but not necessarily protection.

ESPN Events Bowl Lineup where we are eligible:

12.17 - Bahamas Bowl in Nassau: MTSU vs. Toledo on ESPN

12.17 - Cure Bowl in Orlando: TBD vs. TBD on ESPN2

12.18 - Boca Raton Bowl: TBD vs TBD on ESPN
