Apparently App has legitimately been considered in Belk Bowl talks.

It’s super unlikely but fun to think about. See this tweet from Ethan Joyce:


I know this has been a running joke with Ethan, but there’s at least a sliver of possibility.

The sunbelt wins if app goes to the belk, sells a bunch of tickets, plays another p5 school, collects 4 million for the conference and Louisiana plays in New Orleans and sells a ton of tickets as well. Logistically and financially, the sun belt would be dumb to not do it this way

I would hope the Sun Belt wouldn't shoot itself in the foot by taking a hard stance against leaving their bowl ties for a more prominent bowl, but it is the Sun Belt so you never really know.

I think the issue might end up being that the sun belt has 5 bowl tie ins and as many eligible teams. Not sure how they fill the other one/jump through the hoops to get a team to fill our spot in one of the 5.

If the sun belt stops this we must find a better conference. Would be confirmed that the SBC is totally inept.

If true I saw someone talking about ticket prices being so high in the lower bowl. Ok 2 ticks = 270. Flight to NO $1,000. Room for weekend 400. Tickets 100.
There shouldn’t be any complaints about the $ we save going to a Bowl in Charlotte.

A vatech app game in Charlotte would be a riot. It would be the most fun bowl ever and that includes Nola last year where I got two for one drinks and watched a funny guy sing.

What are the chances of this happening?

I’m guessing UGA, LSU, Bama, and Florida would all need to go to NY6 bowls for this to happen.

Giglio’s point about this not necessarily being dependent on us winning Saturday is interesting also.

Liberty is looking for a bowl... and they have a secondary tie in agreement with the Cure. Meaning if AAC or Sun Belt can’t fill it Liberty can have the bid.

So App to Belk, Louisiana to Nola and Liberty to Cure. Simple, the rest of the bowls per usual.

This is my very generic signature added to each post.

If I read correctly, there’s one more bowl-eligible team than spots available. So filling the spot wouldn’t be the issue, it would be finding a team that’s a satisfactory replacement for whoever they’d miss.

However, the fifth bowl for the SBC is Arizona, and they’re likely looking at either A-State or Georgia State. Given the travel distance, I can’t imagine either of those teams would be too difficult to replace in terms of ratings or ticket sales.

Just figure the Sun Belt would be stubborn and not let it happen.

Basically, if you’re rooting for a Belk Bowl bid for App, then root for UGA on Saturday. And probably Clemson and Ohio State as well (not that they need the help).

It would be interesting though if LSU, UGA, Florida, and Alabama or Auburn end up getting in though. I doubt things fall our way but if we lose to Louisiana I won't really care then because to me losing to them makes this season a bust. Anything less than the SBC title and we failed iMO. If we aren't the SBC champ and got in the Belk Bowl it would take a lot of hype off the game and I'm sure the ACC team would not be too thrilled. We would not be ranked.

Here is the real question. Place odds on the NY6 or Belk Bowl. Which is more likely?

This isn’t even a question since NY6 chances are literally 0%. Unless you think we can win by 100 and Cinci beats Memphis 3-2 with all 22 starters getting injured
