WVU and KSU will get to 6--both Kansas and Iowa State are just awful.

Kansas is awful. Iowa State has lost some close games. Four of their losses - Texas (1 point), Texas Tech (7), Iowa (6), and TCU (4) - have been by seven or fewer points. They will not be a gimme for West Virginia.

And, no way TCU beats both Kansas State and Baylor.

Tulane might be the one that gets the shaft, as they have terrible attendance and they are leaving CUSA. No tears for Tulane.

This thread went down hill quick.

1. UNT is in a good spot with CUSA. The "extra" bowl eligible teams will be in the SBC and MAC and those teams will have a hard time finding a bowl home.

2. The Big 12 has 7 bowl tie-ins. Its on their website, I don't know why we are debating this fact.

3. It will be hard for the Big Ten to fill all their slots, but the door is still open.

4. It will be hard for the Big 12 to get an extra slot, but the door is still open.

5. Random hating on rivals serves no point. Tulane is the best fit for the New Orleans bowl, why fuss about it.

6. We are a dream match up for the HOD. The bowl would love to have a Big 12 team, but we are probably the best fit for a CUSA team.

7. Everyone is acting like the Hawaii bowl isn't an option. CUSA has to contend with bowl politics. What can they do to keep their bowl partners happy to keep the relationship going. Bowl realignment is going to following conference realignment. CUSA wants to keep its bowls, that why we are seeing articles about CUSA moving its champion to HOD (TO KEEP THE RELATIONSHIP)

If La. Tech becomes bowl eligible, they should be the CUSA rep in the New Orleans Bowl. Let Tulane sit at home or fill an at-large spot.

Not sure someone gave you a -1 for this. I actually think Tulane, ECU, and Tulsa should all be ineligible to host the conference championship game as well. La tech would have almost as many fans as Tulane even in New Orleans.

Since after this year HOD is supposed to be the CUSA every year and alternating with B12 and B10 that would make sense.

      Love me some Chico with the jet black Roy Orbison interim hair. For me Chico is like Creed. I'm not supposed to love them but I do. Coach Canales loved North Texas more than most alumni.

      Earth to GMG

      This world does not exist anymore. It used to, but not in the portal and NIL age of college football. If players cared about coaching staff stability they would not be transferring at the rate they are. If this thinking permeates our AD, then they need to look for a new line of work because that ship sailed. Seriously, how many 17-18 years olds sit down and review the contracts of the coaches to decide which offer to take? High school recruiting should be de-emphasized. It can't go away completely, but building a program through the high school ranks over multiple years no longer works. When recruiting high school players, I think the only "stability" play is academic stability. There are a lot of players that have the skill and ability to play D1 football, but won't make it to the next level. Hopefully they are smart enough to realize that. Sell them (and their parents!) on playing a sport they love and getting a solid education and degree while they do. That's why it's important to continue to improve the academic status of UNT. We're not going to be a Stanford, but improving 4-year graduation rates and tighter admission standards will help.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      At this point in the football cycle, if you fire a coach then you throw away all the recruiting work being done for the following seasons. The portal opens up in just a few days, and most AAC schools build their next years roster in the transfer portal. How hard is it going to be for these programs to build rosters for next season if they dont have a head coach going into the transfer window?

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Remember how much we hated La Tech in the 90’s and ‘2000’s? How we mocked them for stupidly going from an Independent in the 90’s to wasting the mega bucks on travel in the WAC in the 2000’s, and their obnoxious fans coming here talking trash? Then 2012 happened…… https://coachad.com/news/did-louisiana-tech-really-turn-down-a-bowl-game/ They had elevated their program to the point that when they lost the last two conference games of the ‘12 season finishing 9-3, and ending as the nation’s #1 offense, they were so damn upset over it they chose, either directly or indirectly to not play ULM in the Independence Bowl. That announcement was the day I practically fell in love with their school and their program because to me it was the greatest stance on principle and accountability and a standard they felt they had set for themselves and held to. Since then, we’ve been there several times, you and me, and have seen how poor their athletics were funded all those years, which gained even more respect from this college athletics fan. That’s where I am as a fan and alumn of NT right now. Wishing we would set a standard, a high standard and stick with it. Rick
