A chance to play UT this year...

[Houston Eagle]

As a resident of Texas for the past decade, I am referring to the team in Austin and not Knoxville. The best bowl tie IMO is the Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl. If UT can win 5 more games(it will be difficult but possible), I can see them wanting a game in the "Cotton Bowl". If we win more games and have the choice of bowls, take this one. Don't get me wrong I would take ANY bowl at this point but I see this as a possibility.

Probably end up in New Orleans against ULL, but I would like to see us in Dallas against a P5 school.

Another good possibility as well.....

That would be great. I don't see Iowa State or Kansas being bowl eligible this year, and all the other teams in the Big 12 would make for an entertaining bowl game. I would think the C-USA champion would likely go to the game, and I believe it's well within the realm of possibility that it could be Southern Miss. It's still a long ways off, but if that begins to materialize we need to communicate to the AD and Coach Monken that we want Southern Miss football to play the best post-season opponent. None of this sending the team to Hawaii as a special treat for a job well-done...or sending them to New Orleans to play a Sun Belt opponent because it's close. If we are the champs we need to be playing Texas...or West Virginia...or Kansas State...or Texas Tech....etc.

Don't think CUSA is tied to the N.O. bowl any longer....

We're still tied into the New Orleans bowl. Here is a link to C-USA bowl tie-ins:

I just want to emphasize that I'm not putting the cart before the horse, but whoever from CUSA goes to Dallas should get a great Big XII opponent....

I live in Frisco....Eagles have played four games....I have attended three....yeh, I'd find my way to the Cotton Bowl that day

You guys are getting way ahead of yourself. A close loss(That's LOSS) to Nebraska does not equate to having a bowl season.
