Not much going on the rest of the week. School’s out and the football team has gone home for Thanksgiving.

JONESBORO SUN: Sun Belt could have four teams bowl-eligible

It talks about the CUSA bowl talk. Four teams are eligible, with UTEP, Southern Miss and Memphis needing one more win to get in. Like I mentioned on a post below, I like UTEP’s chances to lose to East Carolina, but unfortunately I don’t like Southern Miss’s chances to lose to 1-10 SMU, or Memphis’ chances to lose to Tulane, but Memphis lost to a bad UCF team last week, so that might actually happen.

Even then, I’m not sure which bowl would get the 5th pick, New Orleans or St. Pete. Now it’s hard to a see a team like, oh, Notre Dame coming to New Orleans, but the more CUSA teams lose this weekend, the better.
