He has them in the Meinecke Car Care Bowl vs. Maryland. Didn't West Virginia get the BCS spot due to higher ranking?

No, Connecticut has the head to head tie breaker

So that would mean C-USA would have at least 5 teams eligible for a bowl game? If so...then that would support my point as well...as the Sun Belt Conference has never (as far as I am aware) had that man y teams eligible for a bowl game.

Further, and to support my original statement, if the SB #1 plays in the NO Bowl...then it is not as if we will play the C-USA #1 team...

cincinnati was second place in cusa when nt played them in 2002

memphis was fourth in 2003

southern miss was tied for second in 2004

southern miss was tied for third in 2005

rice was second in 2006

memphis was tied for second in 2007

sometimes, the new orleans bowl gets a great team, sometimes not. it's all in the bowl picking order and based upon travel/tickets/etc.

the number one cusa team will always go to the liberty bowl, so number one's in each conference would never play in a bowl game since the belt's always go to new orleans. no big deal.

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG

      Still just a bit, but a sad one because it seems like a ceiling and not a floor.

      I will say that if we take care of business Utah State would like to have a say in that conversation. Lol
