Bowl Game?

AAC fans saying Independence but I’ve heard Birmingham, Gasparilla weed-eater and Frisco as well. Which is it?

Peach: UCF/Memphis winner vs. At large
Birmingham: UCF/Memphis loser vs. SEC
Military: USF vs. ACC
Independence: Houston vs. ACC
Gasparilla: Temple vs. CUSA
Hawaii: Navy vs. MWC
Frisco: SMU vs. at large, hopefully an excess P5 team

Lot of chatter out there about Independence Bowl. If SEC sends 3 teams to NY6(Auburn/Georgia/Alabama), they will not have enough remaining teams to fill their last 2 tie-ins, Independence and Birmingham.

None of the projection sites will have us there yet as we don’t have a tie-in, but Shreveport on the 27th is a likely scenario.

SMU often slated for the Boca Raton Bowl. Is that lower rated than the Frisco Bowl? We get a C-USA team in that one (e.g., FIU) so it’s not too appealing from a matchup standpoint.

Those Frisco matchups look horrendous. Hoping for Independence…

I wish we didn’t have to wait until Sunday to find out. More time to make plans to go.

At least one of three SEC teams you listed will be in the CFP so which team would be the third NY6 participant?

NY6 includes the 2 CFP semifinal bowl games
Cotton Bowl
Fiesta Bowl
Peach Bowl
Orange Bowl
Rose Bowl - CFP Semifinal
Sugar Bowl - CFP Semifinal
