The UTSA football program was served a bitter dish of rejection this afternoon after being left out to dry by the bowl selection committees. After their season opener was washed out by Hurricane Harvey, the Roadrunners went on to finish their 11 game season with a 6-5 record, including the program’s first ever win over a Power Five opponent.
In a twisted sense of fortune, the bowl exclusion guarantees UTSA its first winning season since 2013 when the Roadrunners finished the year 7-5 but were ineligible for a bowl game due to FBS transition procedures.
Nearly every bowl projection available had the Roadrunners traveling to either the Armed Forces, New Mexico, or Frisco bowls however some late additions to the roster of bowl eligible teams provided a jolt to the anticipated selections.
