Conference USA has six potential bowl spots available in 2016: the Boca Raton Bowl vs. the AAC, the Gildan New Mexico Bowl vs. the MWC, the Hawaii Bowl vs. the MWC, the R&L Carriers New Orleans Bowl vs the Sun Belt, the Zaxby’s Heart of Dallas Bowl vs. the Big Ten, and the Camping World Independence Bowl if the ACC or SEC cannot fill their spots. Western Kentucky, Middle Tennessee, and Louisiana Tech are all currently bowl eligible while Old Dominion and Southern Miss are virtual locks to join them. FAU and Rice are already disqualified from bowl eligibility while Marshall, Charlotte, FIU, and UTEP face nearly insurmountable odds to reach six wins.
