2016 Sked a "shot" at the ACCESS Bowl and the CUSA Redemption

[TheGreenhouseEffect]

Has anyone thought about our possible shot at the ACCESS bowl in 2016, with a favorable P5 schedule and also a favorable CUSA schedule too?

No stupid MAC trap games on the road with an uninspired Marshall playing their MAC Super Bowl.

2 P5 teams, one at home we always play well against and one that's going to be a stretch to beat on the road but being so close we could take up to 10,000 Marshall fans to help the team. ( BTW we will have to put on our extra hospitable face in Pittsbgh to keep our image that were aren't ignorant eerbillys too intact, yes we want to hear that Marshall is a class act)

No 6th year, should be gone by now, quarterback playing a freshman quarterback, and probably a new coach at WKY too boot, playing us at Marshall.

Only the away Southern Miss game looks to be our only possible road CUSA loss besides Pitt, both tough, both winnable.

If we take care of business, win our P5 games, we stay healthy, we have a really good shot....NEXT year.

A.) I prefer to get my C-USA Redemption in the next two weeks.

B.) why do you assume we will play at Southern Miss? If we keep the same east rotation, we will play two games at the West. We have played every C-USA school since 2013 except UTEP, and you'd have UTSA and La Tech expecting us to visit them. I could see our west crossovers next year being at UTEP and At La Texh.

Our CUSA schedule will be

Home
MTSU
WKU
FAU
UNCC

AWAY
ODU
FAU
WEST
WEST

I highly doubt Southern Miss will be on the schedule. I expect to see us @North Texas and more than likely @UTSA which is most likely since we haven't returned their visit.

This. As for Southern Miss, I say it's likely we play them again. C-USA has been scheduling whoever the hell they want for crossover games and it seems they want to keep our rivalry with Southern Miss going.

There's also no guarantee we play all the East teams. Only 3 of the 7 teams will play all the others while it's unbalanced. They claim it's random, but they'd obviously "re-randomize" it if it didn't have Marshall playing WKU.

We played @Southern Miss last year. That is why we played them this year at home.

We will play @NT and either @LT, UTSA, or @UTEP

until uab rejoins the fold, there's unbalanced there, so we may not play all other east opponents and instead play 3 west opponents, like wku did this year.

I hope we play Southern Miss every year. They're the closest thing to a rivalry we have left from the old CUSA.

Does anyone know for sure if UAB is rejoining the league in 2016 or 2017 or later?? Believe as of now they will be in CUSA East when they rejoin.

 

[Gochneaur645]

UAB is back in 2017 but will be in the West.

Fev says UAB should come back into the league and be pretty strong due to good transfers, good recruiting, and good props.
