74 teams already eligible, 8 still have a shot to get there. Just for anyone keeping track (and so unless Rice loses and UTSA goes to Marshall next week, they're out of the hunt for sure).

Yup, somebody said in the other thread that there was no way that could happen...naaaailed iiiiittt....

Yup. 6- and 7-win teams from mid-major conferences are the ones most likely to left out of the shuffle.

So we lose on Saturday and UTSA wins do we make a bowl game...? UTSA becomes very much eligible and finishes the season stronger then we do. Their fans are sold on the idea that they will be going to a bowel this year somehow....

If we don't go to a bowl game it certainly won't be because of UTSA...

Yeah, UTSA's only shot at upending another eligible team is if they win the conference championship and go to the Liberty Bowl. So if they win, Rice loses, and they win again AT Marshall, they can go bowling.

In other news...anybody else watching Oregon vs. Oregon State? Absolute madness, I tell you...

Now back to your regularly scheduled whatever.

And they're 100% correct.

Per Vito sources, a conference title would not override their preliminary status and they would not even go to the Liberty Bowl.

Even with a CUSA championship, they would be forced to sit home.

UTSA not being eligible for a bowl is not a hard concept...also, it's irrelevant how many bowl eligible teams there are. CUSA has direct tie ins. Unless we get passed over for all of those we will be bowling.

I wish it were that simple. Though not really relevant to us this year, some of the AQ conferences have veto power over the bowl tie-ins.

I just learned about this early in the season. I am still trying to understand it. It does not happen very often.

That's kind of funny...sad, but funny.
