It's not as one sided as you may think. The commisnor, athletic director, and bowls all work together to decide. If we won the conference but did not get the access Bowl I would almost bet we go to Birmingham to play an SEC team. 

Good to know. Birmongham wouldn't be that bad at all. Not a bad time of year and against an SEC team would be great. I'm now recalling that the program was nudging to do a road trip and maybe that helped get us to Miami last year.

The path to the Cotton Bowl starts on Thursday night, with BYU playing Boise. I see this is the only legitimate chance of Boise losing this season. If BYU wins on Thursday and we continue to play the

Just give me a conference trophy and a bowl game win against any P5 team.

I wonder if they still put the fans all on one side at Legion Field?  Also I wonder if they've done ant renovations there?  That place was a dump when we beat ECU up there.  Fun time though.  Cool little downtown area.

Our first "Bowl Game" will be on 12/3/16, hopefully at RayJay. The next one, any bowl vs P5, so why not the Cotton Bowl?

BEST CASE Scenario we play one of the so called big name Florida schools, Florida, Miami, FSU. I would LOVE to play FLORIDA. that would be an INCREDIBLE boost to our program should we beat them.

anyone see any chance in that matchup happening?

I think the best chance to play one of the big 3 in FL is Miami in the St. Pete Bowl.  I see at least a couple of more losses coming their way.

Only chance of USF playing UF would be in the Birmingham Bowl, and UF would have to not win the SEC Least for them to be considered for that bowl.

But if we were to win out and finish the season ranked you don't see us playing in a top tier bowl?

Boise and Western Mich also need to lose one game. Of course USF also we needs to win the rest of their games.

It's going to take a lot for us to get there. Even if Houston doesn't make the conference title game, a 1 loss Houston with a win over Oklahoma and Louisville will get that spot. We'd probably also need Boise State to lose twice. And western Michigan at least once.

You never know, but I think there is a lot to get in that picture.

Alright so if we win win out, by the time our championship game rolls around we will be ranked 19/20, sound about right?

then championship game Houston is top 10 probably 7/8/9. We beat them we probably jump 5 spots to about 14 or 15. 

At this point how are we not eligible for a TOP tier bowl?

    "There is no inherent fear among this group of players. The fear of failing drove the program from day one - the fear of failing the coaches, the fan base, the university, each teammate, themselves. Now, as we head into the biggest game in our history at home on a national stage against the highest ranked team to step on OUR field, the players are taking an introspective look at themselves. Unfortunately, I don't know if they get it. They lack the fear."
