I don't see us going but if somehow the ACC or SEC does not have a team eligible to go or that wants to and the choice is between #20 ranked 12-1 SBC Champ App State who will bring 30k and 6-6 Charlotte who will bring 7k then I think we all know who the choice would be. It just would make sense to bring App in that case. The Belk Bowl ideally wants UNC, App, SC, NC State, etc type schools who travel well.
Correct. Belk bowl backup options will come from the CUSA. Charlotte very well may end up there......have fun with all that. I live in Charlotte and have no interest in going to the soon to be “not Belk Bowl”. Give me the Cotton Bowl or a great weekend with my family in New Orleans.DaphneUrquhart wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 8:44 pmNo. The Sun Belt has five bowl tie-ins that are mandatory. If we make a New Year's six bowl, we may go to the New Year's six bowl. Otherwise, we go to one of the five mandatory Sun Belt tie-ins. Those are the options. The only options. Ethan Joyce did an excellent article on the available options and called the Sun Belt office for clarification.

Belk Bowl against Pitt would be a good time for many more people than would New Orleans or Mobile.appstatealum wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 8:55 pmCorrect.

What other conference does that? Is there any example of a team that somehow opted out of its league's primary tie-ins?GregPercussion wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 8:45 pmThey’ve made it clear that the only bowl we can go to this year besides the 5 SunBelt bowls is the cotton bowl.

Charlotte already accepted a bowl bid elsewhere. So they are off the table.appstatealum wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 8:55 pmCorrect. Belk bowl backup options will come from the CUSA.

It will either be FAU or UAB. I hope that CUSA sends their champion to our game but I know they won't. I think that FAU wins the game and hope that I'm wrong about CUSA sending their champ. I would love to get that extra level of attention by playing Kiffin.ericsaid wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:16 pmBelk Bowl against Pitt would be a good time for many more people than would New Orleans or Mobile.appstatealum wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 8:55 pmCorrect.

Not going to happen but perhaps the question even being asked could present an opportunity for the Belk Bowl and Sun Belt. Georgia Southern and App would both bring quite a few fans to Charlotte. Perhaps not comparable to USC or Virginia Tech but App bringing 25,000 isn't out of the question.
For New Orleans, if that's where App ends up, I hope the opponent is Marshall or FAU, personally. FAU because playing Kiffin would bring some extra level of attention and Marshall to get the rivalry kicked back off before the series starts.
If Kiffin was in Arkansas today, as reported, he won't be there for the Bowl game. Nothing wrong with UAB, but I'd rather have Marshall.AppStFan1 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:23 pmIt will either be FAU or UAB. I hope that CUSA sends their champion to our game but I know they won't.

I was under the impression that we can either get the CUSA champ or runner up? Last year we got MTSU and they lost the title game so I did not think we could get Marshall? I figured either FAU or UAB only. I hope Kiffin stays and we end up playing them but if we could get Marshall I would love that.ericsaid wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:31 pmIf Kiffin was in Arkansas today, as reported, he won't be there for the Bowl game.

Charlotte is being sent to the Bahamas which at least opens the possibility of Marshall. Traditionally, the last bowl eligible team from C-USA East goes to the Bahamas but that was Marshall this year. Could leave an opening for New Orleans.
They are as good as UAB and FAU, just inconsistent under Doc.
Same guys who had us not going to the NO Bowl (prior to the GSU loss) because they don't even know that is where the SB champ gets to go. I am really surprised how little research they do sometimes to cover all aspects of College football (their jobs).
In the AAC we're not tied down. Because we don't have a pecking order or a specific bowl where our champ goes. ESPN has leeway to maneuver pieces around in the bowls they own for better matchups and attendance.EastHallApp wrote: ↑Sun Dec 01, 2019 9:20 pmWhat other conference does that?
