Leak drip drip drip leak. Because if they are willing to say before this weekend then I will give them credit for having guts if it is nope on waiver. On the flip side, if it’s a yes and they announce it before game day, they get 3 hours of praise.

I would have loved to see a rematch with JMU, but not under the circumstances. Few things in life irritate me more than a petulant toddler whining in an attempt to get their way. Once the JMU fan base started whining and the VA legislature and national sports media joined, in I was done. Let's now put this to bed and focus on winning our last two regular season games, the conference title game, and whichever bowl game we play, against whatever opponent we play it. If we do those things, when all the dust settles, we will once again be ranked and will have had a very successful season.
HAVOC!

My guess for CCG are the Beach Chickens (THE FORMER FLAMIN CHADWELLS) My guess for the bowl is Cure Against The New Flamin CHADWELLS Of LIBERTY BIBIDDY

NCAA denied JMU appeal. If we win out I'm guessing the SBC Championship is in Troy again

Win out, play in Troy Lose one, still probably in Troy Leave no doubt, win them all
Bowl game, we will not be the Cure bowl. They don't want us twice. At 11-2, we most likely spin out to a non SBC bowl
again, everything relies on winning them all

As far as winning out is concerned, the Cajuns are the only real threat here. I think the Cajuns come out hot, and I don't think we cover the -17 spread. We will win though. Not worried at all about Southern Miss. They could beat Mississippi State this week, and Troy would roll right through them.

With that in mind, would our players, coaches and or fan base prefer a 6-6 or 7-5 P5 or say a ranked undefeated Liberty as an example. I ask it in that form because obviously a ranked Liberty would (more than likely) be ranked higher than a 6-6 or 7-5 P5. My personal preference would be the P5 program only in that perception is all that is about versus an undefeated team that played a very weak SOS.

I believe you’re right…the perception of that is bigger than beating a very good G5. Just look at our own history. Beating a not so good Nebraska a few years back, vs beating a really good UTSA last year.

I think it depends on which 6-6 P5 team you are talking about. A game with 6-6 Auburn, TAMU, Florida, Clemson, Miami, or Wisconsin would be more prestigious than a game with a 6-6 UCF, Syracuse, Rutgers, or Houston. All of these teams are fighting to finish with no more than 6 losses. Not all P5 programs are on the same level and beating a ranked G5 team would be a much better win than one against the teams in the second group listed above. That's just my opinion, but I'd rather we play, and beat, a previously undefeated Liberty than a 6-6 Syracuse. On the other hand, were we to play, and beat a 6-6 Clemson or Wisconsin, that would go a long way to make our resume' stronger.

Currently have five wins with Missouri and FSU left I just looked at P5 conference and picked, as examples, schools that still have a mathematical chance of finishing 6-6 and I selected the ones most likely to be considered “blue bloods”. I don’t think UF finishes 6-6 either, just like there are 2-3 other schools in that list that will not finish 6-6. I was using the possibilities to make a point, not to predict final records.

Based on today's posts, let me throw out some hypothetical bowls, dates, and opponents (with a final season record projected by me). All teams listed have a strength of schedule within about twelve of us. After looking at this list, I would like everyone to answer ONE question at the end #1 Boca Raton Bowl on December 21st against another G5 school - Memphis (9-3) who dreams of being a P5 school one day. Are we their wake-up call? #2 Gasparilla Bowl on December 22 against a P5 school - Central Florida (7-5) youngest Power 5 school, don't know if their fans drive 85 miles to this bowl? #3 Gasparilla Bowl on December 22 against a P5 school - Florida (5-7) an SEC school located 130 miles away, don't know if they would consider this bowl an insult? #4 Birmingham Bowl on December 23 against a P5 school - Mississippi State (5-7) the closest SEC school outside of Alabama, would their fans follow them to a bowl? I KNOW lots of people are thinking 6-6 teams in the discussions above, but being realistic I think there will be several 5-7 teams bowling (DON'T get me started about the year we sat home while bowl eligible)! OH, the one question at the end that I want people to answer ... which of the above (#1, #2, #3, #4) would you be physically attending and cheering at?

Napier a good Coach, gotta get beyond the Mullin recruits and culture there sez my insiders at Gainesville.
