C-USA/Mountain West/Sun Belt North Texas vs. Idaho

The same projection put Texas in the Heart of Dallas Bowl against UTSA. If UT goes to a bowl, they don't want Navy. If UT goes to a bowl, we could be their preferred dance partner.

Hawaii won last night. The APR picks will go past UNT. Texas may even decline, because of the coaching situation, and push it down one more APR slot. #GoodGradesMatter

Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl Amon G. Carter Stadium, Fort Worth, TX, 4:30 ET, ESPN Navy vs. Big 12 Navy vs. *North Texas *No Big 12 team projected available, North Texas in on APR http://collegefootballnews.com/2016/college-football-playoff-bowl-projections-week-13

Hawaii over UMass Open Bowl Slots: 5 (ESPN says its 6) Bubble Teams: Army, USA (ULL - has two fcs wins, but they made ESPN's list too) Bottom Line: UNT is going Bowling and won't be the lowest rated APR team.

Vandy over Tenn (wow, what an upset!) Open Bowl Slots: 6 Bubble Teams: 4 (Hawaii, Army USA, ULL) APR: UNT moves up to slot #2 behind Army

UTSA over Charlotte Open Bowl Slots: 7 Bubble Teams: 4 CUSA get's it 6th bowl eligible team.

I thought we had a rule to lock any thread with three or more RF references.

The Nova Home Loan Arizona Bowl, in Tucson, AZ is on Dec. 30 vs. a MWC or SBC. 15 extra practices spread over the month of December. Might be exactly what this team needs. 13.5 hour drive from Denton.

Thanks to John Williams and Co. for hosting the broadcast today. It's great to see a local business stepping up to support the team and give the fans a place to be fans.

UTEP over UNT: So we have to get on APR Miami over Duke: Key loss. Moves us to APR slot #4 Boston College over Wake: Takes a Bowl Slot Navy crushes SMU: Eliminates a Bubble Team Indiana over Purdue: Takes a Bowl Slot Maryland over Rutgers: Takes a Bowl Slot Northwestern over Illinois: Takes a Bowl Slot, Moves us to APR slot #3 Miss St over Ole Miss: Eliminates a Bubble Team Idaho over USA: No Impact on Bubble Teams ULL over Ark St: Adds a Bubble Team Open Bowl Slots: 8 Bubble Teams: 5 That should be enough to give UNT an APR bowl spot.

Since the Big 12 did not expand expect to see Houston cut back on expenses. Houston will avoid any buyouts. They were investing to make the B12, that not on the table any more.

I think CUSA is going to end up swapping bowls slots. The ACC & Big 12 might have an extra bowl slot, PAC 12 might need an extra slot. CUSA could offer up the Hawaii Bowl to PAC 12 to get a better regional bowl.

Your opinion is wrong.

It's a negotiation between the Bowl, Conferences, Network, and Teams. Since ESPN owns certain bowls, the Network has a lot more say in certain bowls.

We're getting close. Beat UTEP and we're in, there is no longer any doomsday scernairo. Unfilled Bowl Slots: 12 Bubble (5 win) Teams: 11 Watch List (Can still make a bowl) Teams: 2 (Duke, ULL) APR Order: Duke, Northwestern, Vandy, Army, UNT

Secret sources aside, there wasn't even a mathematically possible APR bowl slot until AZ beat ASU.

AZ over ASU Open Bowl spots: 12 Bubble Teams: 11 That means we start Saturday morning with one APR getting a bowl (assuming ULL doesn't run the table and USA wins next week) Magic Number: 1 Win or 4 key losses or 6 losses from the bubble group.

No, our move to CUSA from the Sun Belt was a step up. More exposure, ,more revenue, more bowl access.

Constitutional Carry could redefine the Run & Shoot.

This probably bumps us out of the New Orleans Bowl. Looking more like Bahamas or Hawaii for us.

Almost. We would still need Duke, Army and one more bubble team other than Northwestern to lose. We also have to keep an eye on UL-L who can still become bowl eligible. We're really close, but were not the mathematically impossible space to keep us out.

Southern Miss over LA Tech Bowl Slots: 12 Bubble Teams: 12 Magic Number. Wins - 1 or Losses - 7 USM becomes CUSA's 5th bowl eligible team.

TCU over Texas Bowl Slots: 13 Bubble Teams: 13 Magic Number. Wins - 1 or Losses - 7
