Will 6-6 really be enough for a bowl?

Would we be ranked if we win out? (not counting the Bowl game)

Personally, I don't think so, but stranger things have happened.  4 losses in the AAC is probably not enough for pollsters to put us in the top 25.

With the AAC having 4 teams in the top 25, and having 5 bowls that the AAC can go to, not counting the conference winner, will a 6-6 record really get us into a bowl game with the number of possible e

Yes, easy. There are 7 bowls for the conference and it actually looks like 8 as the conference will probably get the access bowl slot. Last, four of the bowls are in Florida and most want a team close

I see 6 getting us in, and if 6-6, likely the St. Pete Bomb Shelter Bowl, which I likely skip.  But if Boca or Miami, I'm likely there if I'm in state. P.S.  yeah, I hated the bowl game v Memphis in S

If we somehow went 10-4, including a bowl win, there is a possibility of being ranked.  I don't see it otherwise.

Why skip the St. Pete Bowl, or any bowl game? Are you there to support USF or to watch some other team?

Maybe you didn't read my post close enough.  I HATE the St.Pete venue for a bowl.  Was there v Memphis, and it was like being in a cave.  Having end zone seats didn't help.

But as I said...I'd likely go.  I'm not a local, so if the bowl was on a work night, I might not be able to make it...but I'd try.

Boca is 30 minutes away; Miami is 90.  I'd make those, almost for sure.

IMO not going to a bowl because one CANNOT get there is the ONLY acceptable excuse. My opinion.

Why talk about such things.  The football gods will spite us.

Seems to me that, being on yon side of the velvet rope, that indeed your opponent would be a draw when talking bowl games. Would we rather play a MAC or MW team...than an ACC or SEC team? If our aspiration is mediocrity (.500 on the season) and 'just making it in', I can see where interest in the game is a determining factor in whether or not you attend. It's one thing to attend your home games...another to actually travel to a meaningless (congratulations on not having a sub .500 season) game against an opponent of little interest.

My aspiration for this week it to make it.  Hopefully, for next week it will be to help our chances at a division title.  Then solidifying our chances and beating UCF.  Next, if all goes well, winning the AAC Championship.  Then if everything falls into place, winning our access bowl.

So, yes, for right now, I just want to make it.

When I go to bowl games, it's about the chance to see USF play... and maybe the chance to visit the city... I could care less who the opponent is.

Now that our bowl games are in awful destinations, then it's really about one last chance to watch USF football.

+1. Our future is the next game, to put it in coach-speak. Looking beyond that is really an exercise in futility.
