Explain this...

Note that there are 7 bowls there...NO Bowl, Birmingham Bowl, Liberty Bowl, GMAC Bowl, FW Bowl all have CUSA tie-ins, but there is also the Texas Bowl and Hawaii Bowl on there, neither of which have CUSA tie-ins this year (though both have tie ins with CUSA next year). What's up with that?

[Stallion]

two bowls I believe Houston and Hawaii have ties to 3 conferences split over 5 years for example only. CUSA is guaranteed to play in those games a set number of years over the contract period.

Do the Mustangs have an way to get to those bowl if the other conferences do not qualify enough teams?

[SmooPower]

Hawaii Bowl gets a CUSA team this year if the Pac-10 can't fill their slots, but I believe there are enough Pac-10 teams eligible now.
