If i had to pick, I think I would rather play against New Mexico just because I think that would be more of a "winnable" game.. Also closer for our fans..But again, would be awesome to play K-State and win

That would be cool if they would make any bowl but the New Mexico bowl vs New Mexico i would love to see that i have an old teammate who plays for New Mexico #9 Q Drennan I would love to see the MEAN GREEN Defense stop him and the LOBOS. Any bowl game would be great though

Question: are these bowl games we would make it we finished 5-7 and got in based off APR and if so, would we still be eligible if we finished 6-6? Asking because I don't recall any bowl games against B12 teams available for CUSA schools.

Bowl and APR Situation

I know that thread exists. I'm asking if these exact bowl games we are predicted to play in are only available to us if we get in based off APR. If I'm not mistaken, if you get in based of APR, you are plugged into whatever available bowl games there are. If you get in based off your record, you are locked into bowl games based off conference affiliation or national standing so I'm wondering if these two bowl games are only attainable if we get in based off APR and not if we get in based off our record.

CUSA has to fill it's bowls first.  It will depend on who can get eligible.  Right now CUSA has 4 teams for 6 slots.  UTSA needs to beat Charlotte to get to 6, USM needs to beat either us or LaTech.

If both USM and UTSA get bowl eligible, then we would fill a slot in another conferences bowl lineup.  But lets says USM loses to us and LaTech, and then then UTSA loses to Charlotte, but Charlotte also loses to MTSU.  That would mean we only have 4 bowl eligible teams.   The conference will want to fill their requirements first so we would need to use the APR exemption in a CUSA bowl.

Do you know the order of the CUSA bowls by chance?

CUSA doesn't have a bowl slot order.  Champion picks the bowl they want to go to.  After that the conference and the bowl committees work together to send teams to the bowl that makes the most sense for them.

oh okay, well to the advantage of UNT is if we get to 6 wins, is that we will have barely any travel expenses going to the HOD, which C-USA should like alot

LaTech will for sure want to go there if they win the CUSA championship.  If WKU wins and the B10 is able to fill that slot, they will more than likely want it also.

I hope C-USA and them are smart enough to pair up the power schools that could beat them because that should improve the payouts as well for the entire conference.

But what if B10 can't fill it?  They might repeat 2013 and get 2 teams in the Playoff

B12?  Colorado State and New Mexico are both from the Mountain West.

One or the projections has us against New Mexico and the other against Kansas state.

Ah.  My bad.  Missed that one.  The Cactus Bowl prediction assumes the PAC-12 doesn't have enough bowl eligible teams to fill their spots.  If we become bowl eligible at 5-7 due to APR and not enough 6 win teams, we just drop into the mix of bowl eligible teams.   At that point, our APR score doesn't play a role in our bowl assignment.  It just gets us into the mix of bowl eligible teams.

Good to know. Would be interesting to see who we would fall against...

      Volleyball coach released

      I recall seeing two MBB games in the Snake Pit. I believe there was some sort of conflict in the Super Pit. But they were an absolute blast to watch. Great fan support, seats right down to the court, noisy as hell. If it is usable, I think that venue would be great for volleyball and I would support WBB there also. GMG

UAB ; High Point v. Old Dominion ; McNeese v. Liberty 11/26 - Memphis v. Colorado/Michigan State ; Tulane v. Wyoming (I guess?) 11/27 - Memphis game 3 ; Charlotte v. The Fighting John Buggs 11/28 - UNT v. UNI ; Utah State v. St. Bonaventure ; Wichita State v. Minnesota that Thanksgiving slate looking a lot more entertaining that the NFL

      Anyone else still rooting for Eric Morris?

      We have an over $50M a year athletics budget. Significantly more than FAU and Charlotte who are pulling the plug on their failed year 2 coaching experiments. Are you saying we’re not capable of doing what these peers do? It’s a matter of will, not resources.

      When The Portal Opens

      I’m predicting a lot of change. JayD and Miles mentioned it on their podcast, keep a few of our returners on defense and hope the new DC brings some of his current players. Not sure what we do on offense. Need to keep C4 to try and help recruit some players from the portal. Build some OL depth.

      Around the League / UNT Opponents

      FAU - ended up 1-2 in their tourney...beat Oklahoma State, then fell to Drake and a two-point loss to Seton Hall in the third place game. FAU is just 4-4 on the season, but none of those games look like bad losses. they're blending in a new coach with nearly an entirely new roster...they've 8 dudes who can legit give you double-figures scoring every night, so they're still gonna be scary by the time conference play gets here. Memphis - beat a good San Francisco team and open the Maui Invitational tonight with #2 UCONN Wichita State - ran through St. Louis. Shockers seem to be back to normal Utah State - beat Iowa 77-69 to move to 6-0. it's 50/50 we play USU or get also now 6-0 St. Bonaventure at the NIT Tip-Off after our game with UNI Temple - lost a close game to Florida State, but came back to beat UMASS High Point - lost to Missouri State
