RE: Bowling... Who's Going? Who's Not?
For Sure (needs 1-2 wins)
Marshall 4-2 (@MTSU, USM, UAB, @Tulsa, @FIU, ECU)
ECU 4-2 (USM, @FIU, Tulsa, UAB, NCST, @Marshall)
Rice 4-2 (@NMST, UTEP, @NT, LaTech, @UAB, Tulane)
Tulane 5-2 (Tulsa, @FAU, @UTSA, UTEP, @Rice)
Reasoning: Unless there is an epic collapse or a catastrophic injury, it is pretty much guranteed these teams are going bowling.
On the bubble (needs 3 more wins)
MTSU 3-4 (Marshall, @UAB, FIU, @USM, UTEP)
North Texas 3-3 (@LaTech, @USM, Rice, UTEP, UTSA, @Tulsa)
Reasoning: MTSU should be ables to win 3 of these games. FIU, USM, and UTEP just are not very good teams this season. North Texas has a little tougher of a road but still has 3 winnable games.
Bubble Bursting (needs 4 more wins)
Tulsa 2-4 (@Tulane, UTSA, @ECU, Marshall, LaTech, NT)
FAU 2-5 (@Auburn, Tulane, @USM, NMST, FIU)
Reasoning: These teams need 4 more wins and have a very slim margin for error. With the way Tulsa has been playing I just can't see 4 wins with their remianing schedule. To be honest with FAU's schedule they most likely have already seen their bubble burst.
Bubble Bursted
UAB 2-4 (@UTSA, MTSU, Marshall, @ECU, Rice, USM)
FIU 1-5 (LaTech, ECU, @MTSU, @UTEP, Marshall, FAU)
USM 0-5 (@ECU, NT, @Marshall, @LaTech, FAU, MTSU, @UAB)
LaTech 1-5 (NT, @FIU, USM, @Rice, Tulsa, @UTSA)
UTEP 1-5 (@Rice, @Texas A&M, @NT, FIU, @Tulane, @MTSU)
Reasoning: These teams are just too far out of it and their remaining schedules are just too tough. I can't see UAB winning 4 games out of their remaining schedule and the other 4 teams listed need an absolute miracle to reach the 6 win total.
*UTSA is not eligible.
