For the first time since 2008 FAU is going to make a bowl game. The only question is where? Based off of bowl projections, many see the Owls staying home to play in the Boca Raton Bowl.
The projections are not a surprise. Not because WKU won Conference USA last year and ended up in Boca, therefore they see FAU winning C-USA and playing in the same bowl, but because they see FAU staying home as a no-brainer. When Hawaii is bowl eligible they stay home and New Mexico does the same. Why wouldn’t FAU?
For those who don’t know, the Boca Raton Bowl was first introduced to the bowl lineup in 2014 and has featured a team from Conference USA twice (Marshall and WKU).
