    If the Indy Bowl doesn't have the stroke with Conference USA to pick a team that will sell some tickets vs. somebody that won't bring people at all, then they are truly the bottom of the bottom of bowl games.

    Florida State must win at home vs ULM
    New Mexico State must win at home vs South Alabama
    ULL must win at Appalachian State

    Is the Frisco Bowl in play at all? I've heard about the secondary tie-in with the Indy Bowl, but I haven't heard anyone mention the Frisco Bowl in its initial year.

    Just noticed there is a brand new bowl in Frisco TX this year. The DXL bowl makes it's inaugural appearance on Dec 20th. ACC team I believe vs ????. Played at Toyota Stadium. Would like to see Tech get this over Indy Bowl, for selfish reasons.

    Frisco is the old Miami Beach Bowl. They have an at large spot. CUSA could land there if they don't gey a Pac 12

    At the same time, I don't know if the policy accounted for a team that played an 11-game schedule.
    In the last C-USA Handbook I have seen posted from 3 years ago, "winning teams" and "non-winning teams" is the exact wording in the bowl placement section. So the conference has 7 "winning" and 3 "non-winning" eligible teams.

    If 81 teams end up qualifying, I think the three eligible teams left out will be two from C-USA and one from the MAC.

    I didn't see that info on their site. It looked like American versus MW, MAC, or CUSA since BYU was out. Are you saying the American spot is going to the PAC? I could see that. This would be a fun one in its initial year in Frisco.

    Are you thinking the 3 left out come from these five teams?

    Buffalo 6-6
    Western Michigan 6-6
    La Tech 6-6
    Middle Tenneseee 6-6
    Western Kentucky 6-6

    Or are any of these teams already in?

    AAC vs MAC is the contracted matchup. Depends on which bid the AAC leaves open when it gets the Access spot.

    The three C-USA teams on that list are last in line for placement. Don't know how the MAC determines its preference order.

    Since most of the bowls are located in the southern and western United States, wouldn't the 3 southern schools on that list be more attractive to the bowls than the two MAC teams?

    One of the MAC's secondary tie-ins is in Detroit, and the Big Ten may not be able to fill that spot.

    Teams that can still make it next week:

    Florida State must win at home vs ULM
    New Mexico State must win at home vs South Alabama
    ULL must win at Appalachian State
    So 79 qualified teams for 78 spots. At least one school stays at home with a total of 4 staying home possible.

    Florida State will be a heavy favorite over ULM.
    New Mexico State will be a favorite at home over a South Alabama program that appears to be in disarray.
    The Cajuns will be an underdog on the road in Boone against App. State.

    I'm not sure how the MAC would place its teams, but Buffalo beat Western Michigan in a wild OT game. Western Kentucky has losses to both Tech and Middle.
