There's enough games where BYU is included in pool of eligible teams along with

other G5 conference (i.e. no specific tie-in other than it has to be from G5 conference or BYU) that we will have a landing spot with our current record. How good of a landing spot has yet to be seen as it could be New Mexico Bowl vs San Jose St or it could be Birmingham or Gasparilla Bowl against a higher quality team instead.

ESPN guarantees us a bowl if we are eligible.

And the 10th place SEC team is also guaranteed a bowl game

Are they pooling bowls more than they have in the past?

There's lots of pooling for the G5 conferences w/ this new bowl cycle which

I don’t think it’s guaranteed in a year like this.

It sucks to think about but definitely possible

Maybe we don't get a bowl game and then a lot of players feel like they need to

Zach's gone. Only other 2 would be Christensen & Empey(Tonga because of Sr)

Comments by Tonga kind of make it sound like

I'd especially love Tonga back but I would be most shocked if he stays

We could start the Lavell Edwards Memorial Bowl and play Utah, since they won't

The Potato Bowl will go on.

What prevents ESPN & BYU from arranging a game? Does it have to be a bowl game?

11/30/20 4:54pm

Call it "Covid & CFP Committe Kiljoyed Our Season" bowl?

Think of all the sponsors lining up for that one!

I'm sure the Committee would donate NY6 type $$ payout...

And the inaugural LA Bowl and Myrtle Beach Bowl

Las Vegas Bowl also rumored to be cancelled, though not official yet.

Just schedule another game against a local team and call it a bowl game

Do this. Liberty would probably be a compelling tv matchup

It occurred to me tonight that BYU might not go bowling. I hope that's not true.

If its costly, with little payout, it's likely we decline a bowl like New Mexico
