FAU/Troy to play Memphis

Memphis Tigers Official Athletic Site

Memphis accepted an invitation to play in the New Orleans Bowl… so the winner of next week's showdown with Troy will win the Belt and play Memphis

This year, Memphis is 6-5, 5-2.

They played Arkansas State (and lost), MTSU (and lost)

and UCF beat them (56-20)

when UCF lost bad to USF (12-64)

and we did well against USF

so

this may be a good game for us if we can get there.

Re: FAU/Troy to play Memphis

yea i am not impressed with memphis, at all

a triple-overtime win over SMU, which is just god-awful… lost to arkansas state and middle tennessee… their only quality dominant performance was over UAB, which is not "quality" whatsoever

i am very confident of the Belt heading into that bowl game… troy and florida atlantic would fair very nicely against memphis

GO OWLS!!

What a bunch of $%#@.

Here we were hoping for a top tier CUSA team or even a SEC team and we get … Memphis, which was already beaten good by the 'Belt this year.

What a poor decision.

Re: FAU/Troy to play Memphis

I would rather play a crap team like memphis then get smoked on national tv by the SEC.

this troy game is going to be very tough. they looked great against MTSU last week.

I don't think a top tier CUSA team is supposed to go to New Orleans Bowl and forget about an SEC team.  I think the tie in is about the 4th seed of CUSA.  Just the way it is right now.

If we are fortunate to beat Troy, I don't care who we play, we don't control that, I just hope the Belt wins to build credibility for additional tie in Bowls for the future.

Re: FAU/Troy to play Memphis

I agree, and you have to start wondering playing such an aggressive OC schedule and many playing a few more that you have a shot at winning could go a long way in establishing playing a bowl game on a more consistent bais every year.

Having a 7-5 record goes a long way, even if you play in the Belt when it come to Bowl games.
