Rutgers beating Army--Bowl Implications
Posted: Fri Oct 23, 2009 8:47 pmArmy will be 3-5 if this score holds.
Assuming wins against VMI and North Texas, losses to Air Force and Navy, they will be 5-7. That opens up the Eagle Bank Bowl to C-USA.
I still think the Texas Bowl is a complete long shot, but did notice this nugget earlier in the week: K-State played two FCS teams, and you can only count 1 toward bowl eligibility. So--IF the Big 12 worked out that A&M, Baylor, Iowa State, and Colorado don't hit 6 wins, K-State would have to get 7 wins for the Big 12 to fill, which would be difficult for them (remaining games: CU, OU, KU, MU, NU.)
