Tech over Marshall in C-USA championship in Ruston

BOLD Bowl Eligibile

[dawg80]

I'll take your bold predictions.

At the very least, we need to go 4-1 the rest of the way, but only losing to UTEP or UTSA will not have other ramifications, and we certainly don't want to lose to either of them. 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.

My bold predictions

I like it.

Do you know what conference bowl that would send us to under that scenario?

I saw a prediction yesterday that had us in Shreveport vs FSU.

[Tech77]

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.

[johnnylightnin]

Conference champ gets first dibs if I recall correctly. I believe the top bowl this year is the First Responders Bowl.

[sportdawg]

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.

[sportdawg]

North Texas' bowl possibilities fell hard with Charlotte loss (they are going to have to beat us or UAB) and take care of Rice & UTEP
MTSU probably took FIU's spot
Charlotte has has an outside chance if they upset MTSU or Marshall.

BOLD Bowl Eligibile
Red Eliminated

[sportdawg]

updated - 4 eligible- 3 eliminated - still possible to get remaining 7 eligible!
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.

Would that be the Cotton Bowl? We have a long way to go and a tough task to finish the regular season at 11-1. If USM defeats UAB we could breath easier for making the CCG, making the Marshall game our most important to win. I think I have it straight. Win out and we are in Ruston for sure. Of course, first we need to win Saturday.

I think they mean First Responders’ Bowl

[SicemDawgz]

Dallas for the recruiting exposure is a no brainer to me.

[champion110]

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!
