NBL Bowl Outlook 11/11/2009

Though Notre Dame could still mathematically make it into a BCS Bowl, the likelihood of that happening is the same as Charlie Weis still being the Notre Dame coach this time next year – possible, but not likely. My biggest question is if LSU will get invited to the Cotton Bowl due to its proximity to Dallas and a possible matchup with Les Miles’ previous team, the Oklahoma State Cowboys, or will LSU travel to Florida for the New Year.
