What needs to happen?

Yep, that would be six bowl games in seven seasons... yet, that would be only two winning records in seven seasons, with all of them ending badly.

I think we beat Rice and go into San Antonio with a 7 & 5 record, with signature win at WK and surprising loss at UNLV. I am not very hopeful about our chances against UTSA but I wasn't last year either and look what happened.

I almost hate to say it, but there is a lose-to-Rice scenario that still gets us to the Championship game:

1 - Rice loses at home to UTSA and FAU loses @ MTSU this week.

2 - FAU then beats WKU (@ FAU) next week.

This would result in a 3-way tie with 3 losses between us, WKU, and FAU, which we would win first tiebreak with wins over both.

Let's hope it doesn't come to that, but that would be a totally SL thing to have happen.

Step 1 has indeed come to pass.

WKU plays at FAU at 11:00 CST next Saturday, 2 hours before us.

If FAU wins (they're at 5 wins and need a 6th, it's also their Senior Day), we're in the Championship game no matter what else happens. 

If WKU prevails, we're in a must-win situation to get to the Championship Game.
