Don Shula Bowl XVI will be played this Saturday at FAU Stadium. For the first time in the 15-year history of the series between FIU and Florida Atlantic both teams are bowl-eligible and are over .500. And for the first time in the Shula Bowl series the Panthers and Owls are playing for a possible spot in the conference championship game. The road to the title game is a bit more difficult for FIU which depends on beating FAU and the Owls losing to Charlotte the following week. FAU just has to defeat FIU to reach the C-USA title game.
