Guest Posted October 17, 2006 Share Posted October 17, 2006 The Big East and ACC face both have slots in the Gator and Meineke bowls.Since Navy will probably take the Big East slot in the Meineke Car Care Bowl, that leaves the Gator Bowl. To make the Gator Bowl, USF would need to finish 2nd in the Big East at 9-3 and hope that U of L gets a 2nd BCS slot AND THAT both Rutgers and Pittsburgh finish 8-4 or worse. In that case, we also have to hope that the Gator doesn't take an Oklahoma or Nebraska over USF... Then we need to hope that FSU or Miami finishes second in their division (i.e. not a division champ and therefore in the ACC Championship game).In other words... don't hold your breath.

They're pretty much completely unrelated, in fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BasketBull. Posted October 18, 2006 Share Posted October 18, 2006 That would be really cool if we could somehow get UM or FSU in a bowl this year!---I would do the happy dance if that became reality. 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until such time as we're capable of dragging more than 5K on the road to a bowl game, we're not going to be at the top of anyones list. And the folks in Jville know that - at best - we'd buzz over in the morning and buzz back in the afternoon. Not exactly a Holiday Inn Express kind of weekend. Our best bet at a worthy-of-note-bowl would be (albeit unlikely) winning the BE and going the BCS route. Otherwise...you know the drill... 8-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
