So basically we have no shotPosted On: Nov 17th 2018, 6:54 PM #383585
As far as I can tell, CUSA has 6 bowl eligible teams and 7 bowl tie-ins. There is also a secondary agreement with the Independence Bowl and the ACC might not be able to fill it. So we do have a decent shot at a bowl.
If both FAU and USM win, and FSU loses to Florida and/or Wake Forest loses to Duke, would we not both get bowl games? Assuming that Clemson gets into the playoffs, the ACC could potentially only have 9 teams for 11 bowl games…and CUSA gets the Independence.

Please name the 7 tie ins, because the conference sent out a release yesterday, which I shared part of, that says we have 6.
Also, I did the math today and not seeing how either the SEC or the ACC will have a problem filling their spots since Notre Dame takes one up from them (ACC).

It's possible I am wrong. I was going by this:Rick said

This is what C-USA said: "along with either the Gasparilla Bowl or the First Responder Bowl."
I don't know, trust the conference is correct, but who knows at this point! Maybe the "either/or" the conference stated is incorrect…
As far as the ACC goes, they have 9 shoes ins with Clemson right now, and add Notre Dame for another to make 10.
But, as you mentioned, Clemson will probably be an at large, freeing one up…
So, if either FSU (not likley) or Wake Forest (more likely, but still) wins another game, they are full without Clemson.

All I have seen is that Notre dame counts for one of theirs, but nothing about an at large freeing it up. So you may have a point there.
Too bad we couldn't just win one more game and put all of this needle in a haystack analysis to rest!

I'll go with fauowls44 on the fact that we should be rooting for either FSU or Wake Forest to lose…if both win it looks like we are done.
