Need to win 4 of the next 6 to get to a bowl game

Post by SMU 86 »

I have slightly changed my expectations from a conference championship to just making it to a bowl game. If we do not make it to a bowl game that will hurt the 2014 recruiting. I still think we can beat Memphis and Rice but finding the other 2 wins might be tough.

Who would go even if that were to happen?..the attendance for the remaining home games will get real ugly. Apathy abounds.

Well, I'm going wearing blue! We will miss the Tulsa game, but I will support the team (Jones, not so much).

because we've been so horrible in the non-conference schedules, CUSA will have trouble fielding enough bowl eligible teams. I agree that 6-6 will probably result in another bowl appearance, but how will these guys get there?

Memphis and Rice become MUST wins and I wouldn't count on beating Rice in Houston

We also have to win 2 of 3 against Houston, USM & Tulsa at Ford, because I think we very little chance of beating UCF in Orlando

Depends on what bowl we go to, obviously the farther away the less people show up.
