Do they make a bowl game this year?

I wonder if they'd accept a bid, especially if they have several players enter the portal now that Franklin's gone?squintsdd wrote: Wed Oct 22, 2025 3:48 pm If they get the 6 wins, I think it's pretty much guaranteed. No lower end bowl is going to refuse a chance to invite them
Refusing a bowl game would be a disservice to any of the kids that decide to stay. I would like to think that the school knows that, but I've seen dumber things in this worldSuperDuck wrote: Fri Oct 24, 2025 6:09 amI wonder if they'd accept a bid, especially if they have several players enter the portal now that Franklin's gone?squintsdd wrote: Wed Oct 22, 2025 3:48 pm If they get the 6 wins, I think it's pretty much guaranteed.

It's hard to say. Personally, I'd always want to accept a Bowl bid, but it would a different story if I couldn't field a competitive team.
Also, if they're fortunate enough to get to 6-6, going to a Bowl with a depleted roster could result in a loss and a losing season. That would really suck.
Oh, and another thing I just thought of is that James Franklin will likely be hired by another school before Bowl season. I read a couple days ago that he wants to take at least some of his staff with him, so would they even have enough of a staff to coach in the Bowl game?
Lot of things to think about.
