ESPN has us not going to a bowl but has UCF going?

[BULLfreak]

FROM ESPN.COM

First of all, before you get the e-mails ready, please remember these are just projections and a lot can -- and will -- happen between now and the bowl season. That said, Ivan Maisel and Pat Forde took their best shot at predicting all 28 bowls. That's no simple task considering different conference tie-ins and the fact some conference(s) will undoubtably fall short of reaching their requirements.

So, enjoy the projections and know that everything you see here may change by the end of Saturday.

Just Plan BULL shows how much these guys know

[Guest_Pariah]

It would be be ironic as we deserted C-USA for the Big Least.

[Apis Bull]

Still a lot of football left.

[T-Man]

No Road wins=No Bowl Game

[Joe]

C-USA has 5 bowl spots, we have 4. UCF has matchups left that favor them heavily. We have tough matchups...wait til Dec before complaining...

[Zonald]

Yea, have you seen us play on the road?  Can you blame them?   :-/

[Cubanbull]

I would still leave CDOA for the Big East in a heart beat even if it meant missing on the wonderful New Orleans Bowl which will be played in Lafayette on the stadium of U.LaLa vs U.LaMo. ;D

[Guest_Pariah]

I see  your point and I am hopeful that we will all feel that way in 5 years.

[Sitting_BULL]

I would still leave CDOA for the Big East in a heart beat even if it meant missing on the wonderful New Orleans Bowl which will be played in Lafayette on the stadium of U.LaLa vs U.LaMo. ;D

I would choose the Big East over c-doa even if it lost it's bcs status.  Look at who we play vs who ucf plays?  Even with 5 wins in the Big East you're a better team than a 7 win c-doa team.

Even if we don't go to a bowl game, we still beat UCF.
