2015 Boca Raton Bowl Discussion Thread
10. Boca Raton Bowl (Dec. 22, Boca Raton, Florida) – Temple (10-3) vs. Toledo (9-2)
Both of these teams had great seasons, but fell short of winning their respective conferences. Toledo had a chance to win its division in the season finale and then lost head coach Matt Campbell to Iowa State. Meanwhile, Temple (which can reach 11 wins for the first time in program history) dropped the AAC title game to Houston. Nonetheless, these are two of the best Group of Five teams in the country. We’re looking forward to this one.

Too bad CUSA AND FAU had such a down year. only have 5 Bowl Eligble teams in a year the MAC and Montain West each have EIGHT!
This was a year ALL 6-6 teams got to go bowling! So this is gonna hurt CUSA and FAU in the pocketbook, much less bowl $$$ coming than should have been.
All the more reason Coach P is correct in making the change on O. With a good hire here we start winning more both on the field and in recruiting and in selling seats! A bad hire and Coach P will be gone in two years. MUCH rather have him hired away than fired, don't ya agree!Posted On: Dec 7th 2015, 3:05 PM #352885
Well it was kind of our fault, we took FIU, and Old dominion out of bowl contention.

I have gone to some of the message boards. Temple fans are a little bitter about being selected to play in our bowl game, while Toledo fans seemed to be excited.

I agree Mark, the more I realized the year these two teams have had the more excited I am to go to the game. They might not be big name draws but they are both good teams.
Go Owls! (Temple)
