Ugh. I'm about as uninterested as I can be in yet another Outback Bowl and against a recent opponent to boot (Michigan). I'm really loving bored of playing Big Ten teams.

Fingers crossed Michigan holds hard to their path to mediocrity.

So I guess technically Michigan jumped Sparty as far as bowl game rankings go but is it wrong that I really don't give a gently caress? :shrug: Florida, CA...just play a competitive game in SD and that's all I really care about.

Yeah it’s a nice change of pace from all the interchangeable NYD games in Florida against SEC opponents. Plus Cougs are way more fun than Cocks.

UNT is going to the New Orleans Bowl.

Pros: Not down the road, an actual trip

Cons: It's against Troy of the Sunbelt. There's some history there with UNT formerly being in the Sunbelt, but otherwise you gain nothing by winning and look bad by losing.



I'll still take it! Gonna see how much a trip would cost. Been....12 years since I've been to NOLA.

Troy is a way better program than UNT, that would be a big win for y’all and not an especially embarrassing loss.

Well, I'm not super familiar with Troy but I've been told that C-USA is supposed to be a better conference than the Sunbelt.


If that's not the case, then the bowl choice changes things.

Probably by a little bit but it’s not by much at this point and the top Sun Belt teams like Troy would be fine in CUSA. CUSA lost most of its good programs to the AAC and then rather than finding decent programs to replace them decided to chase TV markets so you added garbage like Charlotte. Meanwhile the Sun Belt expanded by adding legitimately strong FCS programs like App State and GA Southern (although GA Southern made a really bad hire and sucks right now).

For most of the last decade the Sunbelt was the worst conference in FBS but sometimes they're better than the MAC or USA, depending on how good the top teams are. USA generally has a few really awesome teams to watch though (like Western Kentucky with Brohm, or FAU this year). Funbelt.... ehhhhhhh

Cool, learned something today. If it wasn't super obvious, if it's not local I'm typically not paying too much attention to it. Kinda out of the loop on college ball.
