OFFICIAL GAME 10 THREAD: SMU vs. ECU

[blackoutpony]

That was fun.

Horace for National D Player of the week.

[Treadway21]

That was fun. Good win and on the road where it looked like ECU had a big crowd. Very enjoyable.

[BIGHORSE]

1 win and we go bowling, hope there is a good crowd next week.

There will be a good crowd on The Vard, now if we can get them in Ford.

[blackoutpony]

Of the last two, I think our best bet is beating Navy, as ridiculous as that might sound. Flowers and USF are scary.

[mrydel]

Not sure we get a bowl with 6 wins. We would be about the 8th or 9th in AAC and out fan base would put us low on the list for a 6 win team going outside the conference tie ins. Best win both of the last two.

[Charleston Pony]

So impressed with this team and coaching staff after that win. This was a character tester and these guys showed me they have plenty

[Stallion]

Here are our Bowl tie-n-I think AAC already has 7 bowl eligible teams-but some conferences usually can't fill

American Athletic Conference[edit]
2016:
#1/2/3/4/5 The Military Bowl versus ACC
#1/2/3/4/5 The Birmingham Bowl versus SEC
#1/2/3/4/5 The St. Petersburg Bowl versus ACC
#1/2/3/4/5 The Armed Forces Bowl versus Big 12. If Navy is eligible, they will automatically take this spot.
#1/2/3/4/5 The Miami Beach Bowl versus Mid American
#6 The Bahamas Bowl versus Mid American
#7 The Boca Raton Bowl versus Conference USA
#8 The Cure Bowl versus Sun Belt

I'm not sure we would be the choice of any AAC Bowl partners so we would probably have to rely on other conferences not being able to fill their slots. Meanwhile, our guys deserve good crowds for their last 2 home games but unfortunately we all know that will not be the case

We'll get a bowl with 6 wins as long as Cincy and Tulane lose one more game apiece which looks likely at this point. There are eight tie-ins so we'd get the eighth.

[Stallion]

plus Navy if they finish 12-2 as AAC Champs MIGHT have an outside chance at the P5 bowl giving us 9-although unlikely

[mustangxc]

There will probably be more bowl games than .500 or winning teams. I'm not worried. Just focus on winning 1 more.

[TidePony]

If we win 6, it's a fix. Just no Hawaii Bowl please (ever).

[Stallion]

I think the Hawaii Bowl rolled off the AAC Bowl list for 2016-maybe next year

actually might be funny for June to have to listen to all the SMU promo on rebuilding program destroyed by June

[Charleston Pony]

Let's face it...if this team can beat either USF or Navy after having already beaten Houston they are VERY deserving of a bowl bid. That 6th win is a huge IF against perhaps the 2 best teams in the AAC

[jimhagle]

Imagine if we beat them both and go 7-5. Not impossible now.
