and what "quality" wins did FAU get this year to deserve to go to a bowl…..Tulame? PleaseGeorgiaOwl said
Just way too many mediocre 6-6 BigBoy conference teams available. Look at a school like WKU. 8-4 with a coach like Petrino and still screwed by the BigBoys! This is EXACTLY why new Bowls like Boca, Birmingham and the Bahamas are having to be created. Until scheduling is made equal (EVERYONE plays 6 home and 6 away game AND no FCS wins count will the "Group of 5" schools get a fair shake.Posted On: Dec 8th 2013, 8:20 PM #323576

Yes we beat the tar out of Tulane and that is our only win over a bowl eligible team. But all 6 of our losses were to Bowl teams and three of those VERY close! OT to MTSU, by 4 at Rice and by one to Marshall.
By the way, what was your point of using the "quote" when I stated that WKU with the Coach Petrino story angle got screwed by the BigBoys not us. SEVEN (7) 6-6 BigBoy programs jumped WKU at 8-4 and Toledo at 7-7. SEVEN (7)!
And it is VERY TRUE that there exists a TOTALLY UNEVEN PLAYING FIELD in FBS football. You think home and away does not affect the win-loss record, or the finances, or the recruiting, or building a fan base, or…
