ESPN predicts 3 Bowls for Sun Belt

PapaJohns.com
(Big East vs. SEC)

West Virginia vs. Florida Atlantic - Schlabach
Pittsburgh vs. Troy - Feldman


Independence
(SEC vs. Big 12)

Akron vs. Louisiana-Lafayette - Schlabach
Northern Illinois vs. Florida International - Feldman


R+L Carriers New Orleans
(C-USA vs. Sun Belt)

Memphis vs. Troy - Schlabach
Memphis vs. Louisiana-Lafayette - Feldman


I really don't agree with the Big East teams they are sending to St. Pete.  Both of those teams are at #2 or #3 in the Big East which would send them to Gator, International, and Car Care Bowl prior to St. Pete.  I think USF seems like a logic choice for that game.  Then again I also believe that CUSA would rather play in St. Pete than New Orleans, thus closing that off to the Belt.

Re: ESPN predicts 3 Bowls for Sun Belt

At this point FAU should be happy IF we make it to a Bowl Game at all.  Losing to MTSU at the last second made it much more difficult and remember we do NEED to focus on ASU and definitely FIU (which could be for a Bowl Game).

That sad part is if FAU makes it to a bowl game and gets crushed, ole Howard's Bowl record would then have one SMEAR MARK of a loss of what used to be a perfect Bowl-winning record.

GO OWLS!!!

I would be happy just making it to any bowl after this roller coaster season. More exposure for the program is priceless.

Pat White would end his career with a career game.

Teambeer is the most knowledgeable FAU sports fan I know, way smarter than me.

I don't care who we play. If we draw WVU and lose, who cares? The chance to play in a bowl game twice in a row for a 9 year old program would be amazing. Plus, this group of players would get an additional month of organized practices….which would be huge going into Rusty's senior year. By the way, we could also win the game…..just saying.

Anyway, let's get these next two W's first.

I would love to for FAU to play against WVU than any team from CUSA.  But at this point in time I will be happy for FAU to be invited to a any bowl.
