Rumors are flying around that perhaps the New Mexico Bowl and Sun Bowl are still in the picture. C-USA spokesman Russ Anderson said there is precedent for forfeiting a bowl slot if it means a C-USA team can get a bigger payout at a bowl it is not affiliated with. That's how UTEP could go from the New Orleans Bowl (payout $325,000) to the Sun Bowl ($1.9 million).
The Sun Bowl, which will probably be shopping for a team to replace its Pac-10 entry. That won't be known until Saturday, but if No. 2 Oregon beats Oregon State, the Sun Bowl will have to pick a team from a small list of leftovers. If C-USA gives up a New Orleans Bowl slot to, say, the MAC, UTEP would be free to go to the Sun Bowl.
"I'd say that's a long shot," Stull said of the Sun Bowl. "It's complicated."
The New Mexico Bowl situation is not as complicated. It is slated to pit a Mountain West team against a WAC team, but it is owned by ESPN, which has some lattitude to move teams amongst its bowls (which include the C-USA affiliated bowls). The WAC will also probably come up one team short of filling its spots. ESPN could move UTEP to Albuquerque and fill the New Orleans slot with a MAC leftover.
Still, a New Orleans Bowl date with Florida International seemms the most likely spot for the Miners.
The payout from the sun bowl would be great not to mention home field advantage... the downside? We probably will get creamed my Miami(FL)...

No way would UTEP get a good national tv rating. It would be nice though.

one of my favorite types of blogs - opinionated, feisty, thoughtful and always interesting. Even if I don't agree with Jane's point of view, I enjoy reading the argument.

It is pretty commonplace to modify knowledge how attributions with what I will call "incompleteness" modifiers, because they in some sense indicate an incomplete knowledge state. Some examples:
