Latest News & Notes on Possible Bowl Game Matchups
Independence Bowl
The Independence Bowl would love a BYU vs. LSU matchup — I would too — but I’m told it’s unlikely. BYU, which will not rank high enough to earn a New Year’s Six bowl, is contractually obligated to play in Shreveport against a C-USA team.

LSU was a pie-in-the-sky hope of local organizers to play BYU because of the Tigers’ proximity and all of the SEC’s bowl spots are filled. Unable to get LSU, I’m projecting BYU vs. UTSA in the Independence with LSU in the Armed Forces Bowl against Air Force.
