Playing any of those P5 schools, would be better than playing 99% of the G5 schools. Only 2 non P5 schools I can think of, that would be a good bowl match up , are Marshall and East Carolina. (I'm not sure if either will be bowl eligible this season)

Of the G5 schools, what makes them uniquely a good bowl matchup?

They are better schools that most run of the mill G5 schools. They have a good fan base. And a more established football program.

And the newest projections yet again have us in the Cure Bowl against Kent St and also playing in Dallas against Houston.
Houston is a pretty exciting match up in my opinion.

If an annual trip to the Cure Bowl doesn’t keep HCHF around long term nothing will.

Luckily c-usa has a tie in to the cure bowl so we can keep a good thing going. I have no qualms beating Kent st up in the cure bowl to hopefully reach 10 wins. It beats some of the other locations like Idaho or New Mexico.

Latest predictions:
1. Cure Bowl vs. Kent State
2. First Responder Bowl (Dallas) - 12/28 - vs. West Virginia

I like the second matchup! (Although the trip to Orlando would be easier)

Come on, Dalegarz1. It doesn't get much easier than to fly to DFW or Love Field from EWR.

I would be ecstatic with a bowl down here in Texas.

But we still have business to address before any of that occurs. If we don't win at least one of the last two I don't expect us to be bowling.

I fully expect LU to win the next 2 games, but I would like to think a 7 win team would make a bowl. But I realize most bowl slots are reserved for crummy 6-6 Power 5 teams.

I imagine if we finish 7-5 that we'll defbe Cure Bowl bound again. :D But at minimum, we finish with least 8 wins.

I'll pull a ball coach... "I have not done any research, but..."

I hope you are right, but I think the two teams we are about to play are better than the lesser of the teams we lost to already.

ESPN Projections:

1. Cure Bowl vs Kent State
2. Hawaii Bowl vs Wyoming

A win over the cadets would be a nice shot in the arm before preparing for a bowl game.

Probably the only P5 we would be matched with at this point is one of those 6-6 teams you say should never be in a bowl. Maybe even 5-7. Word is there is concern about not having enough 6 win teams to fill all the slots.

Yeah, I even heard Virginia Tech - of all possibilities - might make a bowl. Talk about a bowl committee scraping the bottom of the barrel.
