I was told that if we are bowl eligible, ESPN wants us in the Camelia Bowl against troy state state. By who? A high ranking university official. |

There are a few teams already practically out of contention. UMass, Buffalo, Virginia, SJSU, etc.

A quick scroll of the conference standings on the ESPN website showed 16 teams that currently have five wins and six with five losses. This is not counting the three transitions, each of whom would be on one of the lists.
Sadly, two of the five loss teams (plus Sammy) are in our conference.
I’ll try to update this list on Saturdays as quickly as possible. If it gets to Sunday and if there is someone missing or listed in error, please let me know.

The thing that sucks is that editing the list is a pain due to the coding on this site that has the br inside the brackets. Never seen this on any other site.

A high ranking university official. Of course they would..... Camelia Bowl only pays $300,000. Why not Lending Tree Bowl in Mobile...... pays $1,500.000. Or the Boca Raton Bowl pays $900.000? This is where having a name Coach like Rich Rod will carry a lot of weight. The name alone will bring a boost to TV viewers. We just have to keep playing one at a time and hopefully keep winning. If we can go 5-1 on this last half of schedule and finish with 10-2 OR BETTER the TV Networks will go to bat for us with the various bowl committees. Even 9-3 will carry weight when the dust settles. The lower Bowls will be happy to have Rich Rod because we will be the talk of the FBS world and bring viewers. |

There's a good chance even if we go 10-2 we get left at home. |

I may post a breakdown tomorrow after the games play out but theres a lot of teams that will struggle to hit 6 wins at this point in the season that aren't technically eliminated yet.
Nearly half the American is at 1 win.

Nearly half the American is at 1 win. Obviously, there are a lot that are still eligible but have no realistic chance of making a bowl. But I’m waiting a few weeks before I start analyzing who has to do what so I don’t have to go through 129 schedules right now. Watching Oklahoma-Texas right now. Winner becomes the first on my bowl eligible list!!! |

Yeah but I'm a guy with the type of brain damage that thinks going through the current situation and turning everything into an excel spreadsheet that will be irrelevant 5 days from now sounds like fun. |

Oh, I’ll definitely read it. The kind of thing the younger me would have put together. |
