Feel free to stay home in Kenner if you want, but I think most Tulane fans would be as pleased as could be to go a bowl.

Doubt we fill em all anyway...

Yes, 8 for this year, and 9 next year and every year thereafter. The LR bowl would have made 9/10.

Don't be surprised if one is traded away to get BYU and/or another opponent in the Miami bowl some years.

I think it is a given we are trading a bowl to upgrade the Miami Beach opponent. So that likely leaves 7 for this year and 8 for every year there after once the swap is made. Don't think we will ever need more than 8 which could be why little rock didn't happen. Maybe once Austin was a go we backed off little rock. Just a guess but seems silly to have 9 bowls for 12 teams given how our teams are trying to add as many P5 OOC games as possible. We will likely average 7 bowl teams each year with 8 during a very strong year. Can't see having 9 bowl eligible teams ever happening.

BYU is already locked into another bowl...so who would we trade for? Army has a deal, too.

ACC is giving up the orange for the CFP so they might have interest since they don't have St Pete this year either. They seem light on bowls this season. Would be a good fit I think.

That would be outstanding, IMHO...

ACC or Pac12 this year with BYU a possibility in future years.

ACC most likely this year as they actually need another bowl.
