Potential Bowl games... Sun Belt math

[RhinoD]

I was just looking at the league standings, and there is a pretty good chance that 10 SBC teams end up bowl eligible (and that doesn't count JMU, who can't play in the postseason)... There could be as many as 4-5 teams that finish 6-6... Obviously, MU's brand would get us a better look than a lot of our conference mates with ESPN, and there are more than enough bowl slots to fill from other leagues not having enough eligible teams, but this could be one of those years where we end up in a "random" bowl game that isn't directly SBC tied.

The official SBC tie-ins...

New Orleans Bowl
Lending Tree Bowl (Mobile, Al)

The SBC then gets a minimum of 3 spots, maximum of 5, in the following games...

Myrtle Beach Bowl
Camelia Bowl (Montgomery, Al)
Cure Bowl (Orlando, FL)
Boca Raton Bowl
Frisco Bowl (Frisco, Tx)

The SBC has "conditional" affiliation for the following games...

Idaho Potato Bowl (if the MAC or MWC can't fill their spot)
New Mexico Bowl (if the MWC or CUSA can't fill their spot)

Current bowl eligible teams --
Coastal
App State
Georgia State
Georgia Southern
Troy
Texas State

Potentially eligible --
Marshall (5-5)
South Alabama (5-5)
Arkansas State (5-5)
Louisiana (5-5)
ODU (4-6)

As long as we are gonna roll with Cole (which I believe we are) then we absolutely NEED to get to a bowl for a months worth of extra practice time. We also need the staff to start lining up a better Oline. We were able to protect Cole by using Payne as a FB and usually had two tightends which worked for protection, but we need to also be able to go back to having more wide out on the field for pass threats.
