ESPN doesn't think we'll win 6

[Herd020]

Here is their Bowl projections.

And before all you know it alls say this means nothing, and making smart a$$ comments, I know, everybody and their brother puts out a bowl projection. They mean nothing . What I do think is significant is until this past weekend, ESPN had us going somewhere. Now, they obviously don't think we have much in way of wins this year.

Considering how many Bowl games they own and control, even if we get to 6 wins it may not be enough to sway them. Especially if CUSA has enough bowl eligible teams.

VERY true!

 

[TwolfHerdfan]

Not going to a bowl has to be considered the ultimate failure for a football program. There are so many. If you don't go, doesn't matter if you are 5-7 or 0-12. jmo.

 

[whf2]

They will be projecting us in a bowl again soon.

The people who write these columns and the people who control the minor bowls for ESPN are unrelated.

The only way that a 6-6 team is left out of a bowl is if there are more 6-6 or better teams than there are slots. No 5-7 team can go to a bowl unless every 6-6 team is taken. The last 6-6 team left out was UTSA in 17.

So it is not impossible, but it is darn near to it. Now, it is 100% possible that Doc loses control of the team and the race to the bottom is on. But:

ODU, scheduled up but is still 1-4. Win.
FAU has only played teams well above them or well below them. Hard to tell. Loss.
WKU is not any good. Home game. Win.
Rice is 0-6. Should be 0-8 by game time. We have a shot. Win.
LTU should murder us. Loss.
UNCC is like FAU in schedule. Hard to tell, but lets say Win.
FIU might just beat Miami (the real one) the previous week and might be drained. But probably a Loss.

That is 6-6. Which equals a crap bowl. Probably our turn in the Bahamas.

Three 6-6 teams and one 6-5 team got left out last year.

That is unacceptable and doc shoukd be summarily dismissed if that happens.

My mistake. Thank you for taking the time to correct me.

“STFU!”

“You’re a mentally deranged troll who brings nothing to this board and uses spell check to find meaningless typos.”

“I was right again, like always.”

Samantha Sammy simply cannot stop posting bogus claims in his attempts at knowing all.

 

[The Real SamC]

Please get help.

 

[riflearm2]

Please get help.

I’m not the one who repeatedly posts false information, tries presenting it as factual, then either yells “STFU” at posters for calling out the numerous errors or later denies to have ever made the bogus claims.

That’s the person who needs help.

He's going to ignore you again.

I don't think he's a fan of being embarrassed.

Loses???

Whole lotta pie in that sky

 

[mubaseballking]

If we don't win this weekend against ODU, the season is lost.

IF MU is bowl eligible, AND goes to the Bahamas Bowl, I wonder how many MU fans will make the trip? Two dozen?

 

[MUtim07]

If we continue to play green, I don’t think there is anyway we go 6-6. Something has to change in this offense. Hopefully, Thompson is the guy to take us there. If he’s no better than green, no way we beat WKU or some of the other games you’ll are listing as sure wins.

I don't know but I always love going to the Caribbean. Pretty much any excuse will do. I will be there in January but an extra trip in December will work for me.

How is the Bahamas right now? Are they in any condition to be hosting a bowl game?

Nassau didn't take the hit that other islands did.

The Bahamas is like a lot of islands, Wikipedia says 700. The hurricane hit the north part of the country. Nassau is further south. The cruise ships have resumed going there, and the hotels are open, so I assume its fine. If it wasn’t ESPN would have said something by now.
