NBL Bowl Outlook 11/24/2008

This is the point in the season where things settle down as to who is going to be bowl eligible and not, but with the addition of the two new bowls this year there is a possibility that we might not have enough teams to fill all the slots. With Illinois’ unexpected loss to Northwestern and a few other untimely losses I am currently projecting that there won’t be a single team the reaches bowl eligibility and not receive an invitation.
