FSU Reschedules game with ULM to try get bowl eligable

[NolePride]

Georgia Tech is reported to be trying to get another game scheduled to replace the canceled UCF game to get bowl eligible. If not they have to win 2 of 3 from Virginia Tech, Duke and Georgia to get there.

Ga Tech is very limited in trying to schedule a game for 12/2.

They can't just go out and buy a 1-AA, like Indiana did earlier. They must play an FBS
school or the scenario of having to win 2 games vs VPI, Duke and UGA, will still exist.

Tech only has 3 wins currently vs FBS schools (4 overall). The NCAA allows for a 6 win
team to be bowl eligible, with the caveat that 5 of those wins are vs FBS opponents.
Scheduling a 1-AA, does GT no good.

Here's their options...UTSA, Houston, USF, UCF and Memphis. Those are the only teams
currently scheduled to play only 11 games this year. Most are in contention for their
league title game. I guess they could try to have a scenario where they would play
the loser of the USF/UCF game on 12/2. Memphis will have to lose both of their
remaining games to not be in the AAC title game. *They hold the head-to-head tiebreaker
over Houston.

The only other possibilities for them are against...Fresno St, San Diego State or Colorado
State. Those are schools that played at Hawaii this season and did not schedule the allowed
13th game given to schools tht play At Hawaii. Fresno/San Diego St are currently battling for
a spot in the MWCCG. So the loser could opt to play on 12/2.

Tech's choices are very limited. The best one's are UTSA, Houston and Colorado State.
Colorado State and Houston are already bowl eligible, so they could care less. UTSA
has 5 wins with games left vs UAB, Marshall and La Tech. There isn't a game they can't
win, but there are no gimmee's. I'd call them, if they'd said no...then I'd get a calculator
and see how deep my pockets can go, to get anybody else.

Who wouldn't in their situation?

Who wouldn't in their situation?

They all would do it if they could. You know that.

These boards are about "jabbing at rivals." It's akin to having a player beat up a girl friend.\
Everybody demands a Life sentence, possible execution and a 15-post tirade on how that school
encourages this sort of violence. Then, when the same thing happens to one of their players
their response is..."The Bitch had it coming."

C'mon...

LOL FSU doesn't really come to play in non-major bowls anyway.


This game would have been great for the true freshman 165 lb QB before ACC play started.


Bad luck this year. Be interesting to see if anyone can stay with Alabama like we did before our QB went down.

Desperate for bowl eligibility, Florida State reschedules Louisiana-Monroe game

Ahahahaha! Love seeing FSU desperate to get to bowl eligibility!

You beat us one out of the last 8 years and it was on the last play of the game.. Now you think you're legit?





I hope you play BAMA. If you do, you go down by 20+

It's hilarious to see FSU stoop to this lol.

And by your logic, you need to get to 5 titles before you're legit.

Poking fun at a team wanting to get to a bowl game and views about assaulting women are completely different things.

I know it's been a tough year FSU fans, but c'mon.

Desperate for bowl eligibility, Florida State reschedules Louisiana-Monroe game

Ahahahaha! Love seeing FSU desperate to get to bowl eligibility!

Can you imagine if they lose to UL-M? OMG!

 

[NolePride]

Can you imagine if they lose to UL-M? OMG!

Nah...we've never lost to Ohio State, I doubt we lose to Monroe.

Sorry you're not that good

 

[Jekku]

ESPN seems to disagree. 3 documentaries about the Canes, how many about FSU again? 5 titles for Miami, 3 for FSU. Yeah, I would not switch histories with FSU. Miami has etched a spot in college football lore. I will give you Bobby Bowden though, legend.

Yeah... uhm, national championships aside, Miami is worse than Florida State in every category. Take away their 20 year head start and they've got 30 some odd less wins overall so you can't claim that either. But.. good try

I’m fine if they lose all 3

Oh Miami has a lot of history and plenty of studs. You're just not that good this year.

 

[Jekku]

If by "that good" you mean national titles, you'll find no argument from me. Although, this team might surprise people. Remind me a lot of 2003 Ohio State.

ACC, yeah, they can win it.

You seem to have forgotten the head to head which Miami leads 32-30. Miami has also produced more NFL talent then FSU, and Miami was on prohibation most of the 90's so they lost a decade there. Last ten years have been dog piss too. Hardly "worse then FSU in every category".

When Miami is on their game they are the much more fun team to follow and watch (and hate). Miami was also the inspiration for FSU's swag in the 80's. I'm sure you remember the Seminole rap in 1988, after which Miami smashed FSU 31-0 in the opening game.

So this must mean That's another high quality win for Bama along with their win over Troy oh I mean LSU.

Ga Tech may not need a 6th win if all of the bowl slots can't be filled.

Two 6 win teams with 2 FCS wins were allowed in last season (Army, S. Alabama).
Two 5 win teams were allowed in last season based on high Academic Progress Rate (N. Texas, Miss St)

There are 40 bowl games this season, therefore 80 teams.

50 teams have already qualified with 6 or more wins. So 30 slots are still available.

Ga Tech is 16th overall in APR.

1. Air Force (4-5) -
t4. Duke (4-5)
t4. Minnesota (4-5)
t4. Vanderbilt (4-5)
7. Navy (5-3)
9. Louisville (5-4)
t11. Illinois (2-7)
t11. Maryland (4-5)
t16. Ga Tech (4-5)
t16. Mid Tenn St (4-5)
t16. Utah (5-4)

Yeah, I've heard "There's Too Many Bowls". "5 Win Teams Don't Belong In Bowls"

I didn't post it to support it. I'm just the messenger so SHUT IT.
