Bowl projections after week 14

[mr. pony]

I do think we will be the 5th best option the AAC has to offer (better than Temple and Tulane, but behind the rest of our bowl eligible teams). I think Tulane goes to Frisco and SMU ends up in one of the Florida games, but I agree with others that it would be nice to get either the Texas Bowl or Shreveport. From a "rewarding the players, coaches and staff" standpoint, Hawaii would probably top their list.

SMU will fill Shreveport in a way that no other AAC option will (including Tulane).

Our AD and our President and Aresco and anyone else at SMU with relationships that matter had better be making this point, strongly.

Rather make a BIG push for Texas Bowl.

The American could use the money!

I just want us to play a Power Five team; I don't care which bowl it is. Problem is, they don't want to play us.

Then you’d better hope the SEC gets four teams in the NY6. If only three they’ll probably leave independence without a team and they’ll only be one team short

hope these new projections are wrong
all are pointing to Frisco bowl with CUSA opponent

[mr. pony]

So 7-5 Texas gets a shot at Notre Dame - while 10-2 SMU heads to Frisco.

What a joke.

Saw one today of us heading to one of the Florida bowls against FAU.

I’ve seen some Boca Raton too. Checking who they predict in the Independence Bowl I’m seeing random things like W Kentucky, sometimes Tulane. Would make no sense for a G5 team not from the AAC to get that bowl, and also ridiculous for Tulane to get it over SMU.

[CA Mustang]

Just over an hour to go and can't tell if the picture for SMU is clearer (or better).

Both ESPN predictors still say Frisco.

Correct.
Boca Raton Bowl – (American vs. MAC)
Projection: SMU vs. Florida Atlantic**

What gets me is the projections of Tulane in Birmingham. SMU had a way better record than Tulane and beat them solidly, so it shouldn't even be a close comparison.

[leopold]

Dammit.

They’ve got Navy in the Liberty Bowl. That lost really cost us.

[PonyTime]

Is there some sort of live reveal of the bowl lineups on ESPN? If so - what time? Or should we just watch SMU twitter?

Edit - I see there is the playoff Selection show - but is that just the top few bowls?

And some lesser conference gets the Independence?

Last I saw, the Shreveport Times had Miami and Western Kentucky a few minutes ago predicted as the matchup.
