A WAC first

Post by Rabidfanman »

5 bowl games listed now for WAC teams, and with the Hawaii win tonight, that makes only 4 wac teams eligible for post season games. According to ESPN

Hawaii Bowl Hawaii v. UAB
EV1 Net Houston Bowl UTEP v Pac10
MPC Computer Bowl: Fresno State v Virginia
Liberty Bowl Boise State v louisville
Silicon Valley Bowl WAC v MAC

good year and some good recognition for the WAC, if we could only qualify another team

That can't happen! Only 4 teams from the WAC qualified to play in bowl games. The Silicon Valley Bowl will have no WAC representative this year.

Isn't the SVC bowl considered the bowl the WAC champ goes to?

MPC Computer (formerly Humanitarian) Bowl was, I thought. The opponent shows it this year. 8-3 Virginia is a bigtime opponent for a WAC bowl game.

The SVC is more likely to get Oregon State or UCLA. Both 6-5.

No! There are no set WAC bowl that the champs have to go to. It's a play-it-by-ear scenario.

UTEP better get a good Pac-10 opponent.
Fresno always gets the opportunity to play the big boys and gets enough credit for it. UTEP beat Fresno... maybe they shouldn't have accepted the Houston Bowl invite so soon... or would they actually be afraid to take on a team like Virginia?

LTech this year is a perfect example of why you don't bite off more than you can chew.

@Miami L 48-0
@Tennessee L 42-17
@Auburn L 52-7

Final record 6-6 :-?

I think 2 powerhouses may be just within reason. 3 is just suicide, unless you're just that good.

Then again, with those 6 wins and all other eligible WAC teams spoken for, could they possibly still get the SVC?

My wife has told me that her beloved Troy Trojans are going to play in the silicon valley bowl.
