Place yer bets on the Bowl Game

[TripleGrad]

From https://collegefootballnews.com/predictions/college-football-bowl-ties-affiliations-for-each-conference-2024-2025

 

The American Athletic Conference is affiliated with these bowl slots

- Wasabi Fenway Bowl vs ACC
- Military Bowl vs ACC
- Lockheed Martin Armed Forces Bowl and Hawaii Bowl in a rotation, but last season the AAC didn't put a team in either one

The American Athletic Conference will get a chance at putting four teams in these bowls, depending on matchups, geography, and availability

- Birmingham Bowl vs SEC
- Boca Raton Bowl vs Group of Five
- Cure Bowl vs Group of Five
- Frisco Bowl vs Group of Five
- New Mexico Bowl vs Mountain West
- Myrtle Beach Bowl vs Group of Five
- SERVPRO First Responder Bowl vs ACC or Big 12
- Union Home Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl vs ACC or SEC

 

Frisco, yeah?

NMB

[Big Z]

Morris with the easiest 35k bonus 

[Moobs]

Yeah, I’m guessing Frisco again. 

[Glory to the Green]

I’m assuming Frisco, too.  

[Jonnyeagle]

Frisco against UTSA?

[greenminer]

Has a bowl matchup ever been arranged between two teams sharing the same conference?

Not UTSA but maybe Texas State.

[wardly]

So which 6&6 AAC team do you want in your 3rd rate bowl game? UNT,USF, or UTSA?

[BleedingGreen]

Texas State in Frisco 

[MeanGreenZen]

Texas State in Frisco would probably sell out. Texas State fans aren’t as bitter as us and are still excited about football.

I don't fault you for asking this question seriously.  Just an indicator of how pathetic this program is.  

You say that like Texas State fans should be bitter and we shouldn't.  Maybe I am adding a "tone" that isn't there.

I am so not ready to be blown out by texas state...

I'll be hate watching that game with the cheapest plastic jug of scotch my discount card can buy

[NT93]

I don’t understand the fear of TxSt.  Yeah, they beat UTSA bad early in the year, but they’re 7-5 and recently lost to 3-9 Georgia St.  I wouldn’t guarantee a win against them, but I sure wouldn’t guarantee a loss either.

New Mexico Bowl would be my preference, but I’ll show up and support UNT no matter where they play their bowl. I’m excited for the team, band, cheer team and dancers for the opportunity!

Any bowl situation but this...

North Texas fans will stay home. Texas State will travel and have a home field advantage in our backyard. And we will lose. Morris has not beaten a team with a winning record this season. I pray the AAC has enough sense than to hurt our conference by arranging this match-up. 

[greenjoe]

I get that Coach Morris gets $35K for a bowl appearance.  Does he get more if we win ?

[BBA1989]

Everyone get the email asking you to provide information on interest for the bowl game once announced Dec 8?

[FirefightnRick]

In Frisco vs Toledo or Northern Illinois again, both of which will be favored over us because neither got blown out by 45 by anyone or needed a win over an FCS program to get their 6th win.

No, Texas State fans shouldn’t be bitter and neither should we.
Texas State fans love GJ Kinne and their team right now. They are pretty excited to be a G5 and experience everything that comes with that, including going to 4th tier Bowl game like Frisco. 
I don’t get why so many North Texas fans hate our team this season. This wasn’t a great season, but hope exists that a great season could be right around the corner.

They beat 6 FBS schools. We didn’t.

So since they beat one more FBS school than us we should be scared of them?

Plus, their strength of schedule is worse than ours. Similar, but worse.

edit to add:  They never had a 3 game stretch anywhere close to our Memphis, Tulane, Army stretch.

I referenced the UTSA win in my original post.  Sorry, but I don’t think that’s a reason to be scared of them.
