Bowl Projection for Charlotte 49ers

Why do I have a feeling this submarine guy has more to do with sandwiches than water vessels?

I feel this needs a gofundme and a hashtag to get him to the game. :stuck_out_tongue:

Tar Holes hoping to get to six wins so they can play in this one.

Guaranteed C-USA Bowls:

20-Dec Bahamas Bowl (C-USA vs MAC) Nassau
21-Dec New Mexico Bowl (C-USA vs MWC) Albuquerque
21-Dec New Orleans Bowl (C-USA vs SBC) New Orleans
23-Dec Gasparilla Bowl (C-USA vs ACC/AAC) Tampa
30-Dec First Responders Bowl (C-USA vs Big 12) Dallas

C-USA Secondary Agreement Bowls:

26-Dec Walk-Onโ€™s Independence Bowl (ACC vs SEC) Shreveport
20-Dec DXL Frisco Bowl (AAC vs MAC) Dallas
24-Dec Hawaiโ€™i Bowl (MWC vs BYU/AAC) Honolulu

C-USA bowl eligible teams (Week 11):

Louisiana Tech (7-2)
UAB (6-2)
Marshall (6-3)
Florida Atlantic (6-3)

C-USA 1-win from bowl eligible teams:

Western Kentucky (5-4)
Florida International (5-4)
Southern Miss. (5-3)

C-USA 2-wins from bowl eligible teams:

Charlotte (4-5)
North Texas (4-5)

C-USA 1-loss from bowl elimination:

Middle Tennessee (3-6)

C-USA 2-losses from bowl elimination:

UT San Antonio (3-5)

C-USA teams already bowl eliminated:

Old Dominion (1-7)
UT El Paso (1-8)
Rice (0-9)

We could see as many as 8 C-USA teams become bowl eligible and as many as 3 not going bowling despite being bowl eligible.

They need 78 teams to fill the bowl schedule. Right now it looks like it is going to be real close to getting 78 six win teams.All teams that get to six wins in C-USA should be headed to a bowl. Jerry Palm has eight C-USA teams presently in bowl games.

Also the more attractive bowls (like the Belk) will be outside the CUSA tie-ins, so pull for all P5 teams that are bowl bubble teams to lose the rest of the year (particularly SEC).

I mean, I typically pull for all P5 teams to lose, unless theyโ€™re playing UNC-CHeat.

App beating USC would help if we want SEC to lose bowl eligible teams. Even stillโ€ฆprobably will root for USC.

Either way we will know a lot better who to root for after this weekend. Including if it even will matter if we cant get past UTEP.

So hoping we can make it to the Belk Bowl!

I donโ€™t say this lightly, it could be program altering if it happened.

Thatโ€™s pretty cool. What is Stanford Steveโ€™s connection to the Niners?

We need to win out, or we can expect the punch in the nuts bowl.

Wasnโ€™t this the same guy who started the whole Belk Bowl stuff?

This may be a year where the best thing to happen is we just miss a bowl game. Against teams .500 or better we are 0-5 and have been out scored 231-115. The Marshall game will tell us a lot as it relates to bowl participation.

Stop being realistic!

Stop being such a wet blanket. A bowl game is a major improvement and shows progress. It doesnโ€™t matter how we get to .500. Doing so is an accomplishment that will help recruiting.
