So, make that 5-0 after all. Then it would be helpful for WKU and FAU to lose at least one conference game down the stretch assuring us homefield for the CCG.
I like it.Quote:

I saw a prediction yesterday that had us in Shreveport vs FSU.
It’s WAY early for bowl matchup conjecture. That said, I think an Indy Bowl game would be a boost to Tech fan interest right now, especially if it were vs. a P5 foe.
Nope! Boca Raton to play the MAC champ, some lousy 8-5 team.Quote:

Apparently, from Twitter discussion, Boca pays an extra $100,000, if the conference champ goes there. I don't see us going there as Champ though, I'd suspect Dallas vs. B12. According to C-USA site, Boca is secondary this year.
Dallas would be my preference.Quote:

Charlotte has has an outside chance if they upset MTSU or Marshall.
My current bowl Eligible predictions: Tech, UAB, USM, WKU, FAU, Marshall, MTSU
Teams that will finish 5-7: UNT, FIU & Charlotte

UNT will have to upset UAB or us
UTSA needs win vs. ODU & 2 of 3 vs. USM/FAU/Tech
WKU has tough task - but should get #6 vs. MTSU (hopefully vs. Ark this week)
FIU is going to have to upset FAU, Miami or Marshall.
Charlotte just has to take care of business.
MTSU has to win out - meaning 100 miles of hate is probably for bowl eligibility.

Of course, first we need to win Saturday.Quote:

Dallas for the fans, recruiting, and against a P5... No question in my mind on what would be the best choice. First, let's get past North Texas. If UAB falls at Southern Miss, all the better!
