BOWL GAMES!!! (final update)

Posted: 12/3/2016 10:20:42 PM

ULL became bowl eligible this week, so there are 75 bowl eligible teams and 80 bowl slots. The final lineup:

AAC (7 bowls): 7 in – USF, Houston, Tulsa, Temps, Navy, Memphis, UCF

ACC/ND (12 bowls): 11 in – Clemson, L'ville, UNC, VaTech, Wake, FSU, Pitt, GaTech, MiamiF, NCSt, BC

Big 12 (7 bowls): 6 in – Baylor, WVU, Okla St, Okla, KState, TCU

Big 10 (8 bowls): 10 in – Mich, O$U, Neb, PSU, Minn, Wis, Iowa, MD, Ind, NWern

CUSA (6 bowls): 6 in – MTSU, WKU, LaTech, ODU, SMiss, UTSA

Indies (1 bowl): 1 in – BYU

MAC (5 bowls): 6 in – WMU, Toledo, OHIO, EMU, CMU, Fiami

MWC (7 bowls): 6 in – Boise, SDSU, Wyoming, AFA, NM, Colo St

Pac 12 (7 bowls): 6 in – Wash, Utah, Colo, Wash St, Stanford, USC

SEC (10 bowls): 11 in – TxAM, Bama, FL, Auburn, Tenn, Ark, Georgia, LSU, Kentucky, SoCar, Vandy

Sun Belt (4 bowls): 5 in – Troy, App St, Idaho, Ark St, ULL

Army, SBama and Hawaii (each with six wins, even tho needing seven for eligibility) get bowl bids, based on the NCAA's criteria (six-win teams get priority over five-win teams), bringing the total to 78.

After all these teams get bids, the final two slots will be filled by 5-7 teams, based on their APRs. Here are the top five among 5-7 teams, in order of APR:

NTex (984)
Miss St (971)
Tex (971)
NIU (970)
ULM (967)

It looks like the final two bids will go to NTex and Miss St. Miss St has the tiebreaker over Texas based on the most recent year's APR (970 for Miss St; 968 for Texas). It's been reported that Texas would turn down a bowl bid, if offered. If Miss St also turns down a bid, NIU would be next in line, then ULM.

If we go to the Dollar General Bowl, I wouldn't eat any food in the swag bag. :)

Everything I'm reading seems like most likely Mobile (Dollar General), but possibly Miami Beach

The 5-7 teams will likely wind up playing each other. The most likely bowl for them is Cactus since neither Big 12 nor Pac 12 has enough teams to fill their slots. But that bowl had 5-7 teams last year so it could be another one.

If Navy doesn't get the Cotton they play at home in the Military.

Navy lost today. They aren't going to the Cotton. WMU is.

ESPN is reporting Miami/Miss State. So...
