Basically now- assuming Liberty and Michigan St win.... The game that will decide everything is UNC/NC State.

TCU losing is a big surprise to me.

We might just end up with a perfect 78/78 match

well looking at the win % chances.
Mich St 89.8% 1
Liberty 89.7% 2
UNC 72.6% 3
Boston College 36.0% 4
Army 10.5% 5
La-Monroe 6.0% 6
Oregon St 5.5% 7
Colorado 4.8% 8

we realistically have 4 teams with much of a chance....

What is ironic is for Boston College they go bowling with a win, and quite possibly if they lose, still go bowling.

So your saying that there will be 5-7 teams bowling this year?

basically if NC State beats UNC, we'd have 1. It'd be either Boston College if they lose, or Duke(if they beat Miami).

If three of these hit, there will not be any 5-7 teams bowling. Think I've got them in order of kickoff.

Liberty must win at home vs New Mexico State
Boston College must win at Pitt
Michigan State must win at home vs Maryland
Oregon State must win at Oregon
North Carolina must win at North Carolina State
Colorado must win at Utah
ULM must win at Louisiana
Army must win at Hawai’i AND must win in Philadelphia vs Navy

Now I think Liberty, Michigan State and North Carolina are the only ones favored so it could get pretty hinky on getting to 78 if those three lose.

RE: APR Bowl outlook
what is going to be really interesting would be if.... NC State beats UNC. 2 other favorites(Liberty and MSU win). Army wins....

We'd have a true situation where if Army wins, they go Bowling. If Army loses, next team up goes(either BC or Duke). Would be fascinating to see if they would give Army a 2 FCS win waiver to make it where they would get in no matter what.

In that case, the Armed Forces Bowl, played on January 4th, could take Army if they beat Navy (7-5 with 2 FCS wins), OR Duke if they beat Miami (5-7), OR BC (5-7). January 4th gives fans of all three of those teams plenty of time to arrange travel plans to Fort Worth.

And may end up with more and some staying home.

Figure Liberty is safe unless AAC surprises me and shorts a different bowl than Cure or Cincy wins the rematch and the committee thinks Boise is better.

I have no idea what the AAC will do with their bowls, but i don't think the Cure is necessarily their worst. They may well decide to fill it

In the past dumping the Sun Belt match-up was a given. Now I could see dumping Boca or Servpro

Colorado is leading Utah and UNC is leading NC State. They win? We have 80 schools. Liberty will be staying home as one of them. One of the MAC schools would be the other one out. Liberty do not have a tie in bowl. MAC only have 4.

Utah and NC State guaranteed to come back now.

Liberty has a spot IF AAC shorts the Cure Bowl. Liberty is the backup to the game

Liberty will have a spot for the reason that it is the backup to the Cure bowl ... its supporters will travel for their first-ever bowl game. There will be enough unfilled spots to let it happen ... independent of whether any eligible Go5 schools sit home.

Exactly but I think probability is AAC dumps Cure because it is on CBSSN instead of ESPN.

I agree there is a decent chance the AAC dumps the Cure, but some seemed to think the Cure could dump the AAC in favor of Liberty.

I didn't specify a spot at the Cure bowl. With open slots available, and only Go5 schools available to fill them, Liberty will fill one of those slots, because they would be expected to travel best among all of the schools then on offer.

So, for instance, if it comes down to it the Frisco might take them.

With BC and UNC making it, does that make 10 ACC schools plus Notre Dame bowl eligible for 10 bowls plus possibly Citrus? If the SEC can't fill their spots that might make an open slot in the ACC secondary in Birmingham ... which would expect to get a lot of business from filling that spot with Liberty.

With only 1+ school eligible (hoping that the Rainbow Warriors take care of business today), there are a lot of possible scenarios where it isn't Liberty staying home.

Of course there are a lot of scenarios where Liberty gets a bowl game, because they are one of nine (10, if Army becomes eligible) floaters and only one (or 2, if Army is eligible) will not get selected. So between 80% and 90% of these floaters will get a bowl game.

But on the other hand, it is also wrong to assume that Liberty will get in. Not necessarily so.
