My money is on Birmingham. Wait and see on Northwestern.

What's the access bowl this year? I'll take that one.

I saw Boise State in Cotton for that bowl. That would be flipping sweet. TU would have to run the table which would mean playing a lot better (and more consistently for 60 minutes) than we have the last 2 games. And Boise would need to lose which is probably up to San Diego State at this point. The MWC is pretty terrible.

They still have to play in the altitude up in Laramie as does SDSU. Wyo just beat Airforce who trounced Navy. There's a lot of room for upsets left in the MW.

I'm pulling for Armed Forces Bowl. Birmingham isn't appealing. The Bahamas Bowl would be awesome but I can't go to that one and I am very selfish.

Is Heart of Dallas 100% locked in with CUSA and B-10? Would love that bowl game.

GO TU!!!!

We will beat Cincy at home for sure.

 

[aTUfan]

Ecu?

 

[TulsaGrad07]

We will beat Cincy at home for sure.

I'm coming up to watch this game. I figure this will be the best game at home on the schedule this year (at least on paper). I think the SMU game might be the best of the year though. Let's see how our attendance shakes out down the stretch, I think it will climb from here on out.

 

[HuffyCane]

Looking at their schedule two things seem possible/likely by the time November rolls around. 1) They will have to beat UCF or us on the road to get bowl eligible. 2) They will have given up and care less about a road game at the end of the year.

So it could be a dog fight or an irrelevant game like that game against SMU at the end of the season during the BB era.

I like our chances in each scenario.
