FIU would be the worst case scenario. I'd be ok with any of the other possibilities mentioned...even FAU.

They'd both probably be in a better position

Iowa State or K-State would be excellent. Showcase our team in the Big 12 by squeaking out a win over one of the meddling middle of the road teams. FAU would be terrible for us. No upside to that game (except maybe we get a sneak peak of Lane Kiffin assuming Strong takes the UT job after Taggart goes to FSU). Just my quick thoughts...

FAU has a VERY good offense, and it's a game I doubt we'd would be up for, but you know FAU would be up for it. That could potentially be like our bowl game against WKU a couple years ago.

As far as Kiffin goes, I think there's zero chance he leaves FAU for us if Strong were to bolt. He's already said he plans to return to next year. Only a P5 job would tear him away. Would love to have him here though.

Lane Kiffin would have won the conference in year one. Like him, don't like him, man's foul but you better believe he would have pulled out all the stops to get to Atlanta.

Must be a lot of shenanigans, arm twisting, begging, threatening, bargaining, et al going on for nothing definitive to be out yet ....

[TakeItOrLeavitt]

Holy smokes.. how are there no bowl announcements coming out yet? Not even lower tier ones. This is torturous.
