FWIW... some have published Bowl Predictions after week 1, some are based on pre-season predictions. Ironically, many pre-season predictions had LSU in the NC game. Just goes to show ya'....

Love your roundups of these throughout the season, ex-pat!

I'd love another matchup with Mississippi St in Memphis if it came to pass. Really wanted to get down to Starkville when we played there about 10 years ago, but circumstances at the time prevented it. If we can't get the Bulldogs on another home-and-home series, a bowl meeting would be fine.
 
I know it's just pure conjecture only after a week. But the Armed Forces Bowl would be interesting and would be far below most fans expectations including my own. Nonetheless it would be a vastly different bowl for The Mountaineers.

Agreed...It seems way early of course but I still enjoy skimming through them to think of the possibilities....and HOPE for a good match up/bowl.
 
Its way to early to speculate on bowl match-ups but anything less than a Russel athletic bowl would signify a disappointing season.
