In short if Army beats Navy and we lose to Tulane we may have to find a non-CUSA bowl or we are SOOLuck

if Navy wins - since Hawaii has preferred choice most likely will end up in Hawaii.

BEAT TULANE !!!

I want to take a 7-5 record to Hawaii

sorry if this has been answered recently.

If Army, SMU and Marshall win next week, there will be six 7-5 teams in CUSA with only 5 bowls. Do they then look at conference W-L?

no bowls get to pick who they want...thats why hawaii is our most likely destination

Army plays Navy on 12/12 so we won't know if CUSA has 5 or 6 bowls until then.

There is still the possibility of the Texas Bowl being a C-USA bowl as well. If Missouri beats Kansas and 2 Big XII teams make the BCS--which could happen if OSU beats OU and gets the at-large bid for the Fiesta Bowl, or if Nebraska would upset Texas.


Beyond that, if we were to end up 6-6 without the Eagle Bank or the Texas bowls available, here is how it looks:

There are 68 bowl bids available. 69 teams are currently bowl eligible. Only 9 more can become bowl eligible, and only UConn and Hawaii could get 7 wins of those remaining:

Kansas (Missouri)
UConn (Syracuse and South Florida)
Army (Navy)
UAB (UCF)
Kent State (Buffalo)
Toledo (Bowling Green)
Western Michigan (Ball St)
Wyoming (CSU)
Hawaii (Navy and Wisconsin)

So worst case scenario, only 10 bowl eligible teams could get locked out. If it were to be that many, looks like there would be around 15 teams or so that were 6-6. (A number of those would be MAC and Sun Belt teams.) Didn't look to see which conferences all wouldn't be filling in their tie-ins, which might be the most important factor in that scenario.

Bottom line is.....Beat Tulane.

Even if army wins I think we may get eaglebank bowl to play against army

can't wait until 12/12 to see if Army beats Navy because we will all go bankrupt paying last minute travel costs to Honolulu. Since Eagle Bank is our last pick CUSA will seat as many bowls as possible as soon as CUSA Champion is decided. Liberty Bowl may release other teams next weekend when pairings set for CUSA Championship. I wouldn't be surprised if some Bowl bids are extended next week to teams not qualifying for CUSA Championship.

Let's just beat Tulane and stop all this talk

Since its been many years since we have gone to a bowl game...and I hate to count my chickens (I know we haved to beat Tulane, but really we should pound them) BUT will there be Charter packages available even at a late date like that? Mustang Travel have any ideas and/or cost estimates that we may actually start budget planning.........$1000 each... $1500 each....??????

It's Hawaii. Win or lose.

Start planning.


Let's focus on getting in some linemen on both sides of the ball and some receivers.


Go Ponies.

Looks like the ACC will be unable to fill all spots even if Duke beats Wake next weekend. That would be the GMAC bowl which would open up and also ironically the Eagle Bank Bowl. If TCU goes to a BCS game that also would open up a spot since the MWC probably wouldn't be able to fill the New Mexico Bowl. All this of course assumes that Army beats Navy and we need help. So...still some hope if we lose to Tulane.

That thought is not allowed...we will beat Tulane.
