Texas State Bowl Central

[BobcatDis]

I saw this link on one of the fan sites.  Texas State finished the year 7-5 and now look to hopefully be invited to a bowl by December 7th.  http://www.txstatebobcats.com/html_emails/20141201_160859_1892370713.html?elinkdata=2855791

 

Possible Bowls:

• New Orleans
• GoDaddy
• Camellia
• Heart of Dallas
• Cactus
• Armed Forces

Possible Opponents being thrown around:

• Northern Illinois
• Central Michigan
• Toledo
• Bowling Green
• Fresno State
• Houston
• Washington
• Stanford

Welp it's not looking good for Texas State.  Bowl invitations are expected to be handed out by Camellia Bowl to a 6-6 South Alabama Team and by GoDaddy Bowl to a 7-5 Arkansas State Team.  Louisiana will more than like claim the New Orleans Bowl.  That now leaves Texas State with hope for an at large invite to either the Cactus, Armed Forces, and HOD,  But in order for those odds to increase we need the best scenario happen where Oklahoma beats OSU and Temple Loses to Tulane.

Bobcats should have stayed in the Southland. Would have had a better chance in a real playoff system.

Disagree, only in Year 3 of FBS and we've already made bowl eligibility 2 years in a row.  Southland is a dead end and the ceiling is still high for Texas State in the FBS.  We were a master of our own destiny and dropping close games to Illinois, South Alabama, and Georgia Southern were the root of the problem. 

 

It's a shame we are the only program in the country with a winning record not bowling, but it is what it is.  A lot of that will be fixed in the future with more winning and growth through fan support

Bowl eligibility is not a badge of honor. Even that crap school from the 3rd Ward got a bowl invite. Then they fired their coach.

The Big 12 is looking for 2 teams so they can be relevant again. Sounds like a win-win to me.

It's elementary really. When you've always been relegated to second class citizen, you grow to hate the first class citizens. ;)

An aggie talking about being relevant is like a bald man talking about going to the barber. They remember what it was like, but it will never happen again.

Sorry it is when you are a transitional team. And it matters to recruits too. Texas State is one of the fastest programs to do so; 2nd to only Marshall. Cougar High is in a conference with more guaranteed bowl tie-ins and with secondary tie ins. So an invite for a 6-6 AAC team is guaranteed invite, while a 7-5 or 8-4 bowl team in Sun Belt could very much sit it out.
