Temple win = USF => Annapolis | Temple loss = USF => Birmingham

I don't think any of the Florida bowls are on the table.

Navy is already going to Dallas... for the Cotton Bowl ... or for the Armed Forces Bowl.

That's good, I'll take Annapolis over St.Pete any day of the week

Of course I don't know any insider information... just reading a bit of tea leaves... If Temple wins USF might be the only ranked AAC team -- we're not gonna play against the Ohio Bobcats in Boca at 10-2 and ranked.

The P5 games are in B'ham, Annapolis, and St Pete...  the best AAC teams are Temple, Navy, & USF... Navy already has it's bowl (win or lose)... so that leaves two AAC teams for three P5 games.

Give me an SEC or ACC opponent and tell me where and when... That's all I want for XMAS. 

100! Want a name opponent.

Looking at possible opponents .... if USF plays a P-5 team, chances are pretty good that team will be 6-6.

Military Bowl or St. Pete Bowl - Both vs ACC

The Military, Independence, Quick Lane, and St Pete Bowls all share "tier 2" selections -- #7 through #10 -- from the ACC.  The list likely includes: Georgia Tech, NC State, Wake Forest, and Boston College.  Quick Lane is in Detroit - so I could see BC playing there. Ga Tech was the best of these four at 8-4, and the Independence would be an SEC opponent, sent the Rambling Wreck to Shreveport.

Likely opponents: Wake Forest, NC State

 

Birmingham - vs SEC

The Birmingham and Independence Bowls get the last 2 picks from the 11 teams in the SEC that are eligible (not counting Miss St).  The "Bottom" teams from the SEC would be Vanderbilt, South Carolina, Arkansas, and Kentucky.  Maybe Georgia.  Given B'ham and Shreveport get last two picks... and I think Ga Tech will be heading there, I would put Arkansas there.

Likely opponents: Vanderbilt, South Carolina

Good analysis, thanks!

Looks like it's Annapolis or St. Pete for us, boys.  Temple is about to win the conference.

If it's St. Pete I will be crushed as I can't go. Praying for  Annapolis!

Going to be in Cape Cod with the family while USF is in town... ugh...

Annapolis it is.

Flights are pretty cheap for me to BWI, then 30 min drive to stadium. Might be kind of cool for you Florida boys though.
