I think Camping World is out unfortunately based on Tweets it might be Texas vs ND. Hopefully we're not headed to Memphis again.

If you are the Camping World Bowl that would be pretty tough match-up to turn down, and honestly I think any team is going to travel to their bowl game to play Notre Dame. Although I wonder what ND's chances of going to a New Year Six game since they are currently #16.

Agreed. IF ND is the choice for Camping World, I think a win today and the cyclones will be in the Texas bowl against A&M and a loss could mean Liberty vs Tennessee. I don't anticipate Camping World passing on Texas IF the other slot is ND. If the other Camping slot is NOT ND, then I think the Cyclones are essentially a lock for Camping World with a win and might even get it with a loss as well. They haven't been there and I think Orlando sees what happened in San Antonio last year with fan travel.

TOE will probably be in the same stadium in Orlando a few days later to be in the Citrus. Likely will make flight costs for both schools pretty outrageous from CR & DSM.

If we fall to the Liberty it will almost certainly be against the Memphis/Cincy loser. There are not enough SEC teams to fill that slot.

Barring something weird I think the Big 12 has at least a playoff plus Sugar or two NY6 games locked up. That puts one of the 4 teams in the Alamo. If we win I think there is a definite possibility of a repeat trip.

Notre Dame currently losing to a terrible Stanford team. Does a loss give them more or less chance of ending up in Orlando? Or doesn't it matter?

75/78 right now. Need at least 3 of these to win:

Liberty (6-5*) vs New Mexico State (2-9)
Michigan State (5-6) vs Maryland (3-8)
North Carolina (5-6) at N.C. State (4-7)
Boston College (5-6) at Pitt (7-4)
UL-Monroe (5-6) at UL-Lafayette (9-2)
Oregon State (5-6) at Oregon (9-2)
Colorado (5-6) at Utah (10-1)
Army (5-6*) at Hawaii (8-4) AND vs Navy (Dec. 14)

*beat 2 FCS teams; needs to get 7 wins total

Liberty up 49-21 with <6:00 left, so I think we can call them eligible team #76.

Yikes. The real Stanford must have showed up in the second half of that one.
