ODU needs to lose as well. We need MTSU to lose twice.

You sure? If WKU beats MTSU and WKU, MTSU, and Tech all finish with one conference loss...WKU vs MTSU head to head for east division champ AND THEN WKU vs Tech head to head for hosting?

Not really. HCSH has always said these OOC games don't mean much.

CONFERENCE USA FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HOSTING CRITERIA
The teams with the highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA
play are regular-season division champions and meet for the Conference Championship at the
site of the team with the best regular-season Conference record. The following tie-breaker
formula is used for the Conference USA Football Championship game:


Two-team tie to determine host
1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA
play.


2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.
3. If still tied, team with the highest College Football Playoff (CFP) ranking going
into final weekend of regular season and wins.
4. If still tied, highest average computer ranking.


Two-team or multiple team tie for divisional champion


[Principle: If at any point the tie is broken in a multiple team tie, the remaining teams
will begin the process again at #2.]
1. Highest regular season winning percentage based on overall Conference USA
play.


2. If tied, head to head between tied teams.


3. If still tied, highest winning percentage within division.


4. If still tied, compare records against divisional opponents in descending order of
finish.


5. If still tied, compare records with common cross-divisional opponents.


6. If still tied, compare records against cross-divisional opponents in descending
order of finish.


7. If still tied, team with highest CFP ranking.


8. If still tied, the representative will be the team that has not participated in the
championship game most recently.

Colorado State was still invited to the Freedom Bowl that year. They beat Oregon 32-31.

CSU had already accepted the invite to the Freedom Bowl prior to our game.

But we had no such invite sewn up. The consensus was we had to beat CSU or the Indy Bowl was gonna invite someone else.

Not really. HCSH has always said these OOC games don't mean much.

I don't recall him saying that. He definitely says that when we lose a game it isn't the "end of our season", but not non-conference games don't mean much.

Okay then. It has been inferred (and probably implied) after every bad loss we've experienced including Arkansas and Texas Tech this year. Listen to what he said Monday night.

This game falls in the same catagory.

. Us old folks think alike

[HogDawg]

Of course, there would have not been a '90 Indy Bowl if not for this:

Perhaps the loudest crowd I've ever heard at JAS. (On video. No, unfortunately I was not in attendance.)

Jason Davis and Michael Richardson were BOTH very good RB's. WOW!

[HogDawg]

Colorado State was still invited to the Freedom Bowl that year. They beat Oregon 32-31.

...and that was back when there were only 15 or so bowls.

[Dogsince65]

I was at Tech the same period of time you were there.FJ Taylor got so many things done between.1966-1970. So many projects completed. Remember first game in the JOE where Terry B. and team beat East Carolina. Watching our last seconds win over NSU with Terry thowing TD to Ken Liberto. Playing in Grantland Rice Bowls and drafted #1 in NFL. Memories, what memories!!

. State fair game-- sat Behind Charlie Bishop with Sportsdawg future mom. Hope the younger folks can look back 30-40 yrs from now and tie great memories with Tech ....

[LeggoDawgs]

I merely used the fact of possibly playing in Shreveport as a lead in for the real question of the thread, learning about the history of Tech playing there. And overall this thread was full of great info, with only a minor amount of C-USA Championship implications talk. So thanks to whoever had to had on to my title. Regardless, GO DAWGS
