EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
https://mweb.cbssports.com/ncaaf/bowls/predictions
Obviously a lot can change and will change in 2020, however, it’s fun to just look at things when nothing else is going on.
This projection has us playing UCF at the new Myrtle Beach bowl. That would be a very good matchup for proximity and opponent. Food for thought.

Its the second earliest game on the schedule......played at Coastal Carolina.
Its a Sunday. 14 NFL teams play that day including the panthers.
Sure we might play UCF, but we will be a footnote on the days sports. It says it will be televised on ESPN networks nationally but I'm curious to know what that will entail when the time comes. ESPN 3? ESPN+? Or maybe at least ESPN 2. Doesn't really matter much with all the nfl games going on.
I guess it would be a fun trip for the players. Sitting in a hotel. Locked in their rooms because of Covid. Watching the waves from their balcony.
Idk, it just feels like a new participation trophy was created to throw the G5's a bone.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
If the New Orleans Bowl is still for the Sunbelt Conference Champion, then that's where I hope we end up again this year. If that doesn't happen then the Myrtle Beach Bowl sounds good. We would sell that place out for sure.
Still planning on a beach trip the weekend of November 21st to Coastal. They are looking pretty good this year.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
If I remember correctly they now give the champion the choice of which bowl they want to go to as opposed to being automatically sent to New Orleans. Could be wrong, can't find the article.87ASUgrad wrote: ↑Mon Oct 05, 2020 9:34 amIf the New Orleans Bowl is still for the Sunbelt Conference Champion, then that's where I hope we end up again this year.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
NO Bowl is on Dec. 21 & Myrtle Bowl is on Dec. 20.
All that is great. But, the Sun Belt Champeenship is on Dec. 19 now.
So, it looks to me like somebody needs to go back & do more cypherin.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
I would put the likelihood of non P5 bowl games at <10% this year.
ULL is the only SBC team with a shot at a bowl game this year (NY6).

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
At this point I'm not sure how many teams will be able to play enough games to get to 6 wins to be "bowl eligible" (though I'm sure that threshold is subject to be forgotten this season).
Agree with Saint there may only be a few bowls this year, I mostly expect the smaller games to not be played.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
I was about to say that when I read his post. I also think we need to probably wait and see if there is even a bowl game for us.Apple@chin1 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 10:06 amThe 6 win qualifier was removed for the 2020 season.BeauFoster wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 9:41 amAt this point I'm not sure how many teams will be able to play enough games to get to 6 wins to be "bowl eligible" (though I'm sure that threshold is subject to be forgotten this season).

I was thinking about how the season is going. Games get postponed weekly because of a positive test or two and then several are knocked out for contact tracing. With weekly testing, social distancing, the fact you need separate rooms, no buffets, and attendance limits I am not sure how many of these games happen. Many of them the lower games already don't make much money as it is and now it will be even less. I would bet several games end up cancelling.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
Well there you go. I don't think it will matter eventually, as I really don't think there will be more than a handful or two of games.Apple@chin1 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 10:06 amThe 6 win qualifier was removed for the 2020 season.BeauFoster wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 9:41 amAt this point I'm not sure how many teams will be able to play enough games to get to 6 wins to be "bowl eligible" (though I'm sure that threshold is subject to be forgotten this season).

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
I respectfully disagree. I believe we have the virus under control (or at least trending in a positive direction) by that point in time. And everybody will be scrambling to make up for as much lost revenue as possible. I think the bowls get pushed back, just like games during the season. As a country, we need this to help recover what’s been lost, both financially and psychologically. #2020SucksBeauFoster wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 1:40 pmWell there you go.

Re: EARLY CBS Bowl Projection
I'll be curious to see if they get pushed back. I do agree with you virus is mostly under control but the media is going to make it look bad if cases aren't down to 0 for the teams by then. With the added expenses teams really need to have full capacity so it will be interesting to see. These games really need the revenue from ticket sales. I would still bet some don't happen though.Apple@chin1 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 09, 2020 1:59 pmI respectfully disagree.
