Air Force Falcons Football: Victim of a Poor Bowl System

No offense to the South Alabama Jaguars, but the Air Force Falcons got jobbed in their bowl game destination and opponent this year.

Well, maybe a little offense is attended. The Falcons are going to be playing a 6-6 team that was 1-5 in the Sun Belt Conference. Yes, they beat San Diego State but their six wins include two against FCS teams. More than likely the team wouldn’t have even made the bowl game this year if LSU didn’t have to cancel a game to play Florida. Instead, they replaced LSU with the powerhouse Presbyterian team and pulled off a 31-7 victory.
