I feel bad for Cinci. They should have gotten FSU or Miami.

I feel even worse for #21 Appalachian St. that is going to the New Orleans Bowl.

At least the AAC has 4 matchups vs P5 teams. Didn't we only get like two last season?

Dec 27 Military Bowl - Temple vs North Carolina
Dec 28 Cotton Bowl - Memphis vs Penn State
Dec 30 Liberty Bowl - Navy vs Kansas State
Jan 02 Birmingham Bowl - Cincinnati vs Boston College

Dec 21 Boca Raton Bowl - SMU vs Florida Atlantic
Dec 23 Gasparilla Bowl - UCF vs Marshall
Jan 04 Armed Forces Bowl - Tulane vs Southern Miss


Its about as good as can be expected, given our bowl tie-ins. And I think we have a legit shot at winning 3 of the 4 P5 matchups, and we should win all three of the G5 matchups.

Could be worse. Imagine being 10-2 (SMU) and you get to play AT some other team's home stadium for your bowl, or being 9-3 (UCF) and having to play Marshall.
