Its going to be Texas or Independence, more than likely Texas.

And for all you clowns who said We'll get an invite because there are too many bowls! Guess what, 72 teams qualified for 68 spots. So if it wasn't for our crowd drawing ability we'd be staying home for the holidays.

San Jose State, Northern Illinois, Bowling Green and Florida Atlantic were the teams that Stewart Mandel of CNNSI.com left out.

You are aware that we barely qualified, are you not?

And as to conferences - are you kidding me? We aren't even in a conference and played the 107th ranked schedule according to ABC last week.

Frankly, we shouldn't be disparaging any teams at this juncture.

if you want the true strength of schedules look at the sagarin rankings. they input all stats and compare teams like 3 deep on schedules to find out how the teams you played played against other teams and so on. they have us 37 i believe which really isnt bad considering this is our easiest schedule in recent memory. dont listen to abc. in case you forgot they own espn... so where do you think their info comes from? probably pat forde.
