Week 11 bowl projections

[ponyte]

So potentially we coud have played 8 bowl teams this year?

[Terry Webster]

If its not the Cotton, which would folks prefer? Belk sounds good (drivable for me at least) and Liberty. Birmingham against uab doesn't sound all too exciting.

I think we are going to get a P5 team as long as we win of the next two games. 10-2 SMU should be able to lock in that V-tech matchup.

Alamo would be awesome - that's always a great game and San Antonio is a blast.

Belk would be great too, or Tampa for whatever they call the Beef O Bodden Bowl now.

Not likely, but could happen. Actually could be as many as 9. Only ECU and Tulsa mathematically eliminated and I assume a 6-6 Texas State would not get invited anywhere

That’s what is so impressive to me. This 9-1 record is a lot different than going 8-5 in Conference USA.

Half the teams in the country are bowl teams.
Just sayin’.

Just sayin’.

And that's the point here...SMU has mostly played the "upper half" of college football teams and is 9-1!

[StallionsModelT]

We also haven't played any FCS teams. We're a legit 9-1.

Literally any bowl vs a P5 opponent. But my order would be:

1. Cotton
2. Alamo
3. Liberty
4. Texas Bowl

4. Texas Bowl

Alamo would be nice, but it isn't an option. That's Big-12 vs. Pac-12 and it chooses from the 2-4 spots in both conferences. For a trade to happen, the bowl organizers would have to REALLY want SMU and the AAC would have to offer one of the conferences a suitable trade. As the Alamo is one of the highest paying non-CFB/NY6 bowl games, finding a suitable match is almost impossible.

Against Virginia Tech I’d take that.

God, I want nothing to do with the damned 'Belk' bowl.

They get that matchup they'll be playing in front of 30k in a city nobody cares about them in a bowl that may be the singularly WORST name in all of sports.
