Some interesting matchups there but of course way to early to worry about. Although, please not Toledo again!

The one thing I've figured out reading these projections over the last 2 years...they don't mean a damn thing! They're little more than click-bait!

The Walk On Independence bowl has tie ins with ACCv s SEC with secondary affiliations for American and Conference USA. Guess this writer thinks we've changed conferences. Win out- Conference Championship in Boone, Bowl Game in NOLA!

True on the click bait however here I go speculating.

That Cure Bowl would be nice. AAC and a new bowl game, and I have family in the area and a sister-in-law that went to USF.

I cold live with that.

Toledo again would be a bit much and both schools deserve better than that I think.

Given our current conference bowl alignment, this is the best goal that we can attain right.?.?.

I still like to see what other people are thinking about it. Even it is kinda click bait. Some have good points.

I personally would like us in the Cure Bowl this year.

There is always a chance at one of the 6 NYE Bowl slots that goes to the top G5 team. Since strength of schedule is factored in it's hard to win out in the Sun Belt and get placed ahead of a one conference loss team like Boise State of UCF. Now that Penn State has taken a loss, that makes it even tougher. Over the next few years, if we can win some of our games vs P5s, we will be in a position to play in a NYE if we sweep our conference schedule.
