Bowl projections: Where Raiders could land in December

I have to say, I had pretty much written off bowl hopes a few weeks ago. I didn't see MT coming out with a win vs Marshall. I thought Marshall was going to be the 6th loss. After that, I thought it unlikely MT would win 3 straight especially since MT and FAU usually seem to play close games. After 2 wins, things are looking more hopeful for a bowl. With 2 of the worst teams in C-USA this season as the last 2 games, it seems a bowl game just might be possible. After seasons like last year, I'm not betting the farm on anything. Crazy things happen in conference even vs teams that may not be all that good that season. I am glad and hopeful for the players at this point that they do seem to have a reasonably good shot at a bowl game.

As for overall season success, I'd like to see continued improvement including a bowl win.
 
I will be happy with any bowl game. Now, I can't make any of those games this year but I will buy a ticket.
 
6-5 (7-5 if you can't our 1-AA win) for the season. The possibility of a bowl seems ludicrous but I'll take it.
 
99% we go Bahamas but I could see us in NO if things fall right. If uSM and la tech fill Indy and HOD we could end up the Big Easy.
 
Rice losing shakes things up a bit now. We have 7 spots and with ODU beating FAU next week, we fill 6 slots. One bowl will get traded away. If FIU, UTEP and Rice would have won, we would be facing a real problem but now, we are locked in. If we win 7 and WKU beats Marshall, we finish 2nd in the east and 4th overall. Should be a good week.
 
Hope they win the bowl game, 2-3 in bowls looks a ton better than 1-4. They need to try to get to a winning bowl record.
