ECU is our bowl game

Question:

ECU is 6-4. They play @ Rice and @ NC State to finish the year. If Rice beats ECU, they finish at 5-3 in the C-USA and fall to 6-5 overall. Southern Miss is 4-2 in the C-USA right now with UAB and Marshall left (both at home). If So. Miss drops one of those, then ECU would still go to the C-USA Title game against most likely, Houston. My question is, if ECU loses to Rice, NCSU and falls in the C-USA title game and finishes 6-7... Do they still make a bowl?

I know it's a long shot, but ECU could definitely lose their last two of the year and be 6-6. If So. Miss falls to either UAB or Marshall, then ECU would win the tiebreaker since they beat So. Miss a couple weeks ago, and ECU would advance to the conference championship.

6-6 they would probably get a bowl game... But would they at 6-7?

And are they definitely a lock at 6-6? Their only notable win of the year was @ So. Miss in OT.

11/16/2006 12:33:26 PM

ECU travels very well, they would get in at 6-6...but they arent going to fnish 6-6...so it doesnt really matter

You forgot Kansas in the Big 12 with a 5-5 record.

the scrubing bubbles toilet bowl

11/16/2006 3:43:41 PM

^^^^ They wouldn't go to a bowl game at 6-7. I don't think that it's very likely they lose to both Rice and NCSU or that USM loses to Marshall or UAB, but it could definately happen. Hopefully they're 9-4 going into the bowl game though

11/16/2006 10:10:33 PM

fuck ecu.

I cant find a link anywhere to support this, but I imagine that a loss in a conference championship game does not count against your bowl eligibility...afterall, it is a postseason game, so if your eligibility is based on the regular season, then youd be in the clear. Losing record teams have made bowl games before as well (North Texas in 2001....won the Sun Belt at 5-1 but had an overall losing record of 5-6).

how the fuck does Purdue get to play 13 games?

11/29/2006 2:27:38 PM

^ It had something to deal with pre-existing commitments. I saw elsewhere the Hawaii game for Purdue was agreed to in 1994.
