What if we get to 6-6... and don't go to a bowl game?

CUSA has 7 Bowl tie ins, we have 6 eligible currently and due to the match up most likely UTSA or LA Tech will get the 7th spot with 5/3, 6/6 record. That would leave FAU in the number 8 spot with a 4/4, 6/6 record, of course if we win out.
As far as outside of the 7 CUSA ties ins, that does not look good either as it appears there will be 68 eligible (including FAU) for 65 conference tie ins and that does not include the 3 eligible independents.
I hope I missed something here but it appears the 3 ridiculous losses costs us a bowl berth.

There's a chance a team like ECU gets picked up to a bigger game as well, they're freaking killing it right now and would deserve a bigger stage. With the other leagues potentially not able to fill their spots, I feel like we have a 50/50 shot if we win out. It is a pretty cool story if it were to happen, so we have a feel good tv angle.

The Wright story would be a good one though.

This will be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

We have priority over UTSA, so we don't have to worry about them since they're in transition.Posted On: Nov 10th 2013, 8:54 AM #321234
They are a bowl eligible team so I don't think that is correct.
There are going to be more teams eligible than spots to fill and we will be at the bottom of the pile. I am not usually the negative one but the facts are the facts.

However UTSA has "limited bowl eligibility" they are only eligible if no other 6-6 or better FBS team can fill the slot.
