CBS Sports FAU vs. USF Thurs, December 19 St. Petersburg Bowl
ESPN Bonogura FAU v. San Diego St. Sat, December 16 New Mexico Bowl, Albuquerque
ESPN Hale FAU v. San Diego St. Sat, December 16 New Mexico Bowl, Albuquerque
SBNation FAU vs. USF Tues, December 19 Boca Raton Bowl
CFN FAU vs. USF Thurs, December 19 St. Petersburg Bowl
Sports Illustrated FAU vs. Northern Illinois Fri, December 22 Bahamas Bowl, Nassau
If FAU wins Saturday, I do not see FAU selecting the New Mexico Bowl. So I don't think the ESPN guys are thinking that through.

If it was any other coaching staff I would say to be conservative and go for an easier win but keep in mind, last years conference usa champ (WKU) played in the boca raton bowl. If we have a chance to do better than that and pay a better team we should do it.
Additionally, if we lost other AD's would look at Kiffin as a prospect coach in a year or two, giving us more time with him.

Of that I would pick Bahamas - good for players, more practices and winnable!

These sports sites don’t analyze CUSA bowl options so don’t bother.
GO OWLS!

If you are referring to Notre Dame, they have some of the best academics and athletics in the country, and I believe they have one of the most difficult schedules in the country. I do not see other teams playing consistently tough schedules, I know they aren't always undefeated and I know that is because they always play top tier schools and don't schedule garbage games like many other schools do such as FSU who is thankful they had an easy schedule this year to get to 6-6.cbboarder said
I'd luv a shot at the most historically overrated team in college football. Any guesses? Yep, ND. I know it's not going to happen but it would be awesome!

How’d that Miami game go? Statistically speaking they are at the top for most overrated, it’s just a fact. So is FSU and TX. Difference is ND hasn’t won the National Championship sine 88’, FSU has won three since then and TX has one.TheREALowlsley said

I am a Miami fan and I am glad they won, I'm just trying to give them credit because they have strength of schedule playing teams like Univ Miami, USC, Stanford, Michigan state, and Georgia back to back weeks towards the end of their schedule they start to either get beat up or tired so that is just my statement I wanted to make.
