Likely won't know until after the C-USA Championship Game

[Harry]

They are going to give the C-USA champion first pick and if it is La. Tech it will be HOD without question.  WKU maybe not...

Nevertheless, we won't hear about our destination until after that game and the horsetrading begins.  Anything beyond that is pure speculation.  I will say this they know from our attendance at the 2013 HOD that if they give us a local game we will bring more than the usual foot traffic so that would lend credence to the Ft Worth game as mentioned by the firefighter.

Another game to watch is Army-Navy Game

And maybe I am off-base, but Navy gets an auto-bid to the FWB if they are eligible--which they are, obviously--right?

This isn't necessarily true, they announced ODU to Bahamas this week. They ask the teams their preferences beforehand and start planning. Otherwise they'd have less than a day to fit everyone into a bowl. I wouldn't be so sure LaTech is set on HoD against a fill-in team either.

Army Navy game is on the 10th. Bowl bids come out on the 4th

[Cerebus]

There are three teams that can become regular bowl eligible by winning this week:

• Army if they beat Navy.
• ULL if they beat ULM.
• USA if they beat NMSU.

Because the APR teams can not be selected until the regular bowl teams are selected, we can 't be officially extended an offer until they know if any of the above teams are regular bowl eligible.  

Army will be ahead of us either way because they are the only team above us in APR.

 Agreed.  LaTech may be in Hawaii (ITS POSSIBLE!) and HoD doesn't want LaTech either.  

SUPER  excited to see how this unfolds!

 Against my favorite players wishes...  My fingers are so crossed for the heart of Dallas.

 How fitting would it be for the 7 true freshman that came in and played in 2013 to go out in the same stadium...  ?

One of those true freshman, I presume, is the star of the GIF you attach to your posts. Though I get hypnotized every time I see that guy in glasses with the strange transition of facial expressions, from "I'm not sure they're buying this" to potentially gas-related grimace  to "smiling because I know I got to one of them" as John stands and throws out the "wooh!"

Hadn't thought about that angle but you are right, it would be great.

The strange transition of facial expressions runs in the family.  Love it! ???
