Best case scenario at this point would be the BBVA Compass Bowl vs. Ole Miss
Pittsburgh has been to the game two years in a row, if they pass and play UCF in St. Pete, spot could be open.
I've read all the issues that everyone has with Shreveport, but I honestly had a great time there in 2001. We went on the Alumni Association charter and stayed at the Horseshoe. I didn't go in 2004. I'm not advocating for Shreveport, especially considering who the opponent will be this year, but...
C-USA is not filling there spot
SMU to Hawaii
If UCF wins C-USA, UCF to Liberty, Tulsa (Armed Forces), Rice (New Orleans), ECU (St. Pete)
If Tulsa wins C-USA TU to Liberty, Rice (Armed Forces), ECU (New Orleans), UCF (St. Pete)
Jeremy Fowler from CBS Sports is reporting that Georgia Tech WILL GET THE WAIVER to play in a bowl game.

I really liked the new Aggies uniforms they are wearing this year. Now that I see they are based on historic uniforms, I love them!
The Cyclones have worn cardinal jerseys in 9 of 11 previous bowl games, the only games where Iowa State has worn white were the 1977 Peach Bowl and the 2002 Humanitarian Bowl.
3 of the 11 Iowa State bowl games have been decided by one point ... ISU lost to both Georgia Tech (31-30) and...
No, Hall of Fame Classic began at Legion Field in Birmingham, Alabama in 1977 ... switched name to All-American Bowl in 1985 ... was discontinued after 1990 when they decided to dump the bowl game and host the SEC Championship Game which was eventually moved to Atlanta ... Birmingham got back in...
Does anyone have any photos or video from the 1978 Hall of Fame Bowl vs. Texas A&M?
All I can find on the internet is a video of the ISUCF'V'MB at halftime
IF Kent State wins AND is able to move up to #16 in the BCS Standings, which is likely but not necessarily guaranteed OR Kansas State loses to Texas OR if Oklahoma loses to TCU - THEN obviously the Big 12 would be only looking at one team in the BCS ...

California in 1963 (Lost 8-15)
Oregon State in 1962 (Lost 35-39)
Pac 12 schools that Iowa...

I would actually LOVE that because I would love to see the bugeaters try to stop Oregon in the Rose Bowl.
I love the Texas vs. Texas A&M game. I thought about that being a possibility in the Sugar Bowl (assuming Texas beats...
