They are agreed + assigned by the schools, conference, and ESPN. Happens throughout the week.
They try to keep it quite until the Bowl selection show, but never seems to happen and they get leaked out
long before next Sat + Sun.

Jags playing in Mobile doesn’t really make sense.

My guess is NO Bowl as well.

I hope that is the case and we get the Mobile Bowl on a Saturday.

I would be fine with the Myrtle Beach Bowl being a regular destination for Marshall. It's a good location with a bunch of alumni, plus the American opponent beats a MAC or C-USA Opponent any day.

Mobile and Shreveport are eyeing USM, with Mobile being most likely.

Here's what I think will happen:

ESPN would love a game between league champions, and if the favorites win, Troy winds up in Orlando against UTSA. That would be outstanding.

Proximity comes into play with several bowls: South Alabama is only two hours away from New Orleans and with that game on a Wednesday, that's a big deal. South doesn't want to stay home and the city doesn't either.

Southern Miss is a natural for Mobile. Lending Tree has the fifth pick and USM is close by. I wouldn't expect ESPN to slot them anywhere.

Coastal is, at worst, the Sun Belt runnerup. Look for ESPN to match them with an AAC school, probably in the Gasparilla.

Independence wants the Cajuns and vice versa. Now, if Louisiana was a ten win team, ESPN might slot them elsewhere. But at 6-6, they'll have no problem with the Cajuns going to a non-ESPN bowl game that has a back up contract with the SBC.

Marshall would travel well to a bowl and Myrtle Beach is the closest bowl to Huntington that is an SBC affiliate.

That leaves Georgia Southern to Montgomery.

I don't know if this is how it will shake out, but this is my best guess.

This is pretty close to Brett McMurphy's revised projections.

As I sit here drinking coffee and lamenting our ban from post season play (yes, we all knew it was the rules coming in yada yada) I was reminded that the Ole Dirty U butterflies will be home during bowl season too! My day just brightened. Had to share how to snap out of a funk if you’re a JMU fan.

I wouldn’t be surprised if SBC bowl match-ups start leaking out tonight after the Championship game. Might be Sunday before Troy and Coastal find out.

The only thing bad about playing in the MB Bowl is that ugly field, but then again I guess we’ll be seeing it every other year anyways. 05-stirthepot

If Marshall plays in the MB bowl, any chance like 500 Coastal Carolina fans show up to support the conference?

That's a really nice matchup for you if true. Going to have to start early on knocking down Liberty a few notches I do think they are a threat going forward.

I recall in year one of the Myrtle Beach Bowl, Coastal Carolina players attended to heckle and harass App State fans the entire game.
