    On the flip side CUSA is 2-1 vs. the Belch this year, so we have that going for us!
    I'm never impressed by Sun Belt. 2015, we faced their Sun Belt "Champions" in Arkansas State at New Orleans Bowl. We beat them easily 47-28.

    Agreed they are having a better year than CUSA, but Tech can beat any of them (now that I've seen us tested against better competition). Being healthy has helped a lot.

    We played them in Dallas and outnumbered Illinois fans 3 to 1 on December the 26th. Crowd size was very small and not quite like playing at UNC or USC.

    Holtz has never beaten a P5 team on the road.

    Just to be clear, I think we beat ULL.

    And I think we match up well with App St. I think our skill players are as good or better, but they appear to be pretty strong along the LOS. They may have an advantage there.

    Re: CBBS Ranks Tech in Top 25

    Here are my thoughts on the situation.

    CUSA has 5 teams that didn't exist 30 years ago. They chose money\markets over long standing traditions. 8 teams in the conference have been playing for over 100 years. If you count ODU, 9 teams have been playing 89+ years. The Sunbelt is plagued with this problem, too. I would not have a problem with the oldest of CUSA and the oldest of the Sunbelt coming together in their own conference. Having no standards is what got us in this spot. At least, after 10 years with this new alliance, we'd have bragging rights that no other G5 conference has, "100+ years of football tradition." That can only improve our stock. Everybody knows that long traditions are why the Power 5 is the Power 5.

    Well, we'll find out come bowl time. Either LA Tech or Southern Miss is highly likely to meet Appy State in the New Orleans Bowl this year. I'd prefer Tech meet UNC in the Indy Bowl, or TCU in the First Responders Bowl (at SMU stadium), but who knows:


    Brett McMurphy/Stadium Bowl Projections 11/11/19:

    8 CUSA teams projected bowling: La Tech, Marshall, UNT, UAB, Charlotte, FAU, USM, and WKU

    Indy Bowl: La Tech vs. UNC
    First Responder's Bowl: Utah State vs Marshall
    Armed Forces Bowl: UNT vs Wyoming
    Bham Bowl: SMU vs UAB
    Bahamas Bowl: Charlotte vs. Buffalo
    Gasparilla Bowl: FAU vs. Tulane
    NOLA Bowl: Southern Miss vs App State
    NM Bowl: WKU vs Nevada

    247 Sports Bowl Projection 11/11/19:

    7 CUSA teams projected bowling: Marshall, UNT, UAB, WKU, USM, La Tech, and FAU.

    **247 Sports Has UAB playing in two different bowls - Indy Bowl and the NM bowl lol. What a mess of journalism.

    Frisco Bowl: Temple vs Marshall
    Bahamas Bowl: UNT vs Ball State
    NM Bowl: UAB vs SDSU
    Boca Raton Bowl: WKU vs WMU
    NOLA Bowl: Southern Miss vs App State
    Gasparilla Bowl: Cincy vs La Tech
    Indy Bowl: UAB vs Louisville
    First Responder's Bowl: Fresno State vs FAU

    https://247sports.com/LongFormArticle/Co...38326553_1

    In this scenario, instead of sending Marshall to the Frisco Bowl, CUSA should send Marshall to the Gasparilla Bowl in Florida --where Marshall recruits heavily-- to play Cincy, and send La Tech to the Frisco Bowl against Temple.

    UAB must be very, very good this year, because 247 Sports has UAB participating in two (2) bowl games: The Indy Bowl and the NM Bowl. LOL!

    Bleacher Report Bowl Projections 11/11/19:

    8 CUSA teams projected bowling: FIU, La Tech, WKU, Charlotte, Marshall, USM, FAU, and UAB

    Bahamas Bowl: FIU vs Buffalo
    Frisco Bowl: Temple vs La Tech
    NM Bowl: WKU vs. SDSU
    Boca Raton Bowl: Charlotte vs. Tulane
    NOLA Bowl: Marshall vs App State
    Gasparilla Bowl: UCF vs Southern Miss
    Indy Bowl: FAU vs FSU
    First Responder's Bowl: SMU vs UAB

    https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2862...ll-release

    Again, Bleacher has Marshall playing Appy St in the NO Bowl and Southern Miss meeting UCF in Florida. Switch those two, and this actully makes a lot of sense for almost everyone.

    My question: Would LA Tech fans prefer to play Temple in the Frisco Bowl, or SMU in the First Responders Bowl? I would probably choose Temple, because we played SMU 2 years ago in the Frisco Bowl, and SMU will really be a "home" team this year since the First Responders Bowl is being played in SMU's home stadium. I wold also probably prefer to play whoever wins between SMU & Temple in the AAC.
