Re: OMG the Hoosiers are going to a bowl!
Just looking into this a bit more now because I got curious.
Seems almost all the bowls have conf tie-ins now except for the Poinsettia bowl which does have 1 at-large bid.
CUSA is an interesting one though because they have 5 or 6 bowl tie-in's...Texas Bowl is either CUSA or Big 12 for one of the bids it appears.
But I'm not sure they will even have 5 bowl eligible teams.
Going into today not a single team has 6 wins. Only 7 teams are within striking distance and I think they could end up with less than 5 who make it.
ECU 5-4 - winning big so they should clinch a bowl
UCF 5-3
MEM 4-4 - losing big so they will be eliminated
USM 4-4
-------
HOU 5-3
Tulsa 5-3
UTEP 4-4
All you Hoosier fans and fans of other borderline 6-win teams can start rooting for Rice right now. They are trailing UTEP by 6. UTEP needs to win to stay alive for bowl elibigility.
The MAC looks okay for their obligation but it's not a lock quite yet.
they have 3 bowl tie-in's...the International, GMAC and Motor City bowls. I think they'll be able to fill them though as they have 6 teams that are either 4-5, 5-4 or 5-5.
