CBS Sports ranks the bowl games
https://www.cbssports.com/college-footba...ugar-bowl/

36. Arizona Bowl -- Utah State vs. New Mexico State -- Dec. 29, 5:30 p.m.: Listen, I'm thrilled that New Mexico State is in its first bowl game since 1960, but this isn't exactly a must-see.

35. Cure Bowl -- Western Kentucky vs. Georgia State -- Dec. 16, 2:30 p.m.: Hey, at least it'll cure your desire to look for something to watch during commercials of other games going on at the same time.

28. Camellia Bowl -- Middle Tennessee vs. Arkansas State --- Dec. 16, 8 p.m.: Not much headliner appeal here, but as is often the case in these games, there's potential for a thriller.

15. New Orleans Bowl -- Troy vs. North Texas -- Dec. 16, 1 p.m.: Remember when Troy beat LSU earlier this season? Seems like a long time ago. Anyway, the Trojans and a surprising North Texas team should provide an entertaining game on the first day of bowl season.

11. Dollar General Bowl -- Appalachian State vs. Toledo -- Dec. 23, 7 p.m.: Dollar General Bowl? More like the $100 Special Bowl because this game features two of the Group of Five's better teams. It's a rematch of last season's Camellia Bowl, which Appalachian State won 31-28. I expect a similar game this year.

That's what I was thinking. Maybe should have pursued my journalism career a little harder if that's all it takes to get paid.

North Texas was blown out twice by FAU. They are CUSA's Akron. Expecting a big Troy win.

App has a big opportunity but also the toughest opponent. If the App of late shows up we win but we should be considered underdogs.

If the App of late shows up then we have a good chance to win. Toledo's miles ahead of GSU and UL.

Troy should be playing Toledo, FAU or FSU. That's just my take...

Wasn't really expecting North Texas, but it is what it is.

I just don't see how a UNT team with no defense to speak of can beat a Troy team that is one of the better defensive teams in the country.

I mean, we should have beaten Troy, but we've got an offense similar to UNT's with a much better defense.

With the New Orleans Bowl tied to CUSA it would have been the perfect time to match up Troy and FAU.

That'd give us two bowls with champions in it.


As it sits we have a

SBC1vsMAC1
SBC1vsCUSA2
SBC3vsCUSAForever
SBC4vsCUSA1000000
SBC5vsMWC1000000000



If FAU would have chosen NO Bowl we'd have ended up with a much better chance to shine in the bowls:

SBC1vsMAC1
SBC1vsCUSA1
SBC3vsMAC2 (stAte vs Akron)



I wish a deal could be worked with SBC, CUSA, and the MAC about using NO and Mobile to host a rotating champions match and the other hosting #2s that would rotate each year.

I wish Troy could've played Florida State...

Would've been sweet for a lot of Troy fans to get a rematch against them when we probably should've beat them in 2006 when they were ranked #9.
