Bowl Eligibility Watch

[Mean Green Matt]

Obviously we have two games we need to win.  So we must take care of our own business.

Even if we do, it may be a crowded field.

78 total spots available.

63 are already eligible.

14 are within 1-win of it.

107 total teams are still in the running (will probably drop by a couple more tonight).

[UNT 90 Grad]

Looking within our conference:

 

Already Eligible

FAU

WKU

LAT

USM

UAB

 

Still Battling for a Spot

CLT

FIU

UNT

UTSA

 

Already Ineligible (baring that APR thing)

MTSU

ODU

RICE

UTEP

 

[Mean Green Matt]

64 Eligible now.

105 either eligible or still alive for eligibility (South Carolina and Mississippi eliminated today).

So, which bowl game are you hoping we get to get blown away in?  We really need more national exposure of this train wreck season.

I don’t really care which game. Hopefully a close one. And hopefully we come out of it 7-6 and our fans have a good time. Work left to do to get there.

Don't worry. None of the bowls we are ever in actually get national exposure. 

[Udomann]

Meh. This team isn't going bowling.  The very fact that rice and UAB are a legitimate threat  just makes me dread if we did. Another infamous coach mumbles blowout. 

I'm sorry for the players.  But we need the staff turnover that results from it to get better

It’s hard to fathom “national exposure” because people can’t sleep at night knowing that the Cheez It’s bowl game will be on tv. I hope we make to a bowl game for the players, but in a reality we will be one of the weakest 6-6 team to make it.

I guess we need to ask ourselves , what do we bring to the table when comparing our bowl chances vs. other 6 & 6 teams. Other than Fine, I am at a loss. We would put butts in the seats in local bowls in Dallas, Ft. Worth, and Frisco, but that's about it. Also, after watching a number of lower tier bowl games over the years with horrible attendance, I really don't know why they put together some of the matchups that they do. If television rules the day  we are back to Mason as our edge and not our record. However, we need to win the next two games, which I don't know that we can.

If we win the next two games, we will be in the Independence Bowl. Luckily most hardcore UNT fans can use this as a excuse to have a casino trip.

We didn't get in the Independence Bowl with 9&3 records so I wouldn't think a 6&6 team with zero notable wins would be invited, especially with 8&2 La. Tech down the road. Best chance might be Frisco Bowl, but at this point its just a guess and by golly.

Recall the C-USA team that DID get the Indy Bowl invite in 2017:  6-6 Southern Miss.

It's certainly not out of the realm.

And didn’t they play Florida State?

They took a 6&6 So. Miss team over a 9&3 UNT. Must be a reason.

[Mean Green Matt]

After tonight (both games are still going on but are essentially over):

65 are bowl eligible (Eastern Michigan joins).

104 are still alive for bowl eligibility (Northern Illinois drops out).

Oh, there was a reason... don’t get me started.

[Mean Green Matt]

Everyone say hello to #66, Buffalo. 

No one eliminated tonight so max is still 104 for 78 spots. 

[Coffee and TV]

6-6 is disappointing but jesus what a miserable bunch we got on this board. 

[Mean Green Matt]

Happy offseason to...North Carolina State. 

103 still alive for 78 spots. 66 already eligible.
