With all the ongoing injuries, why in the name of sanity would anyone really want this team to go to a bowl game?  It seems that we cannot put a healthy enough team on the field that is deserving of a bowl game.  I cannot think of one team in the 72 or so that have qualified that we should/would beat right now.  I would love to know from the players if they really want to play one more game under the circumstances we find ourselves in.

Having said all this, I would probably go to a bowl game if it was the right time and place.

We may be graciously put out of our misery by Pitt and UConn winning this week anyway.

I voted for the BBVA Compass Bowl.  Not that I think Ohio's going there, but if Ohio does go to a bowl, I would want it to be one of the last ones to be played before the BCS championship game, just to give the players the most time possible to heal.

I voted for the BBVA Compass for a very simple reason.  I could go to that game, but would not be able to go to any game in December, unless it was like on December 30th or even 31st.  I'm sure my prospective attendance will way heavily on the minds of the movers and shakers who will make these decisions.

Plus it would give our Athletic Department time to line up your shuttle.

Considering the Corey Hasting story, I think the Military Bowl would be a nice option and good learning experience for our student-athletes.

I'll take any bowl, but I don't think there are enough chairs for us.  Would be a great exposure for us reguardless of the result. This team was 7-0 and ranked. To not get a bowl bid after that would be a huge letdown.

Tropicana Field Bowl aka beef o'bradys near TPA 12/21/Fri would be ok, but my preference is still Military Bowl Ft Worth TX 12/29/Sat.

I voted staying home.

With the ridiculous waiver approval of GT and a suspected victory by either UConn or Pitt, I'm guessing we go nowhere, which is actually fine with me.

With the complete lack of heart this team has shown over the last several weeks and adding in all the injuries, a bowl game at this point would not be a pretty sight for Ohio fans.

I thought if one loses we're in?

The problem I'm seeing is that the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl has a back-up agreement with the Sun Belt. The Sun Belt has 5 eligible teams, and it looks like they're going to be filling up some of the at-large bowls in their footprint:

- New Orleans: Louisiana-Lafayette
- Go Daddy: Arkansas State
- Independence: Louisiana-Monroe
- Liberty: Middle Tennessee
- Pizza: Western Kentucky

If that happens (and just one of the Big East teams win), I think we're out. WKU and us are the "last two", but the Sun Belt's agreement might be our undoing. Need to have UCONN and Pitt lose to be safe.
