Don’t look now, but WKU football is now on a three game winning streak after their Saturday homecoming victory over hapless Charlotte to move to 4–2 on the season with six games to play. Here are your Conference USA standings through seven weeks:
Reminder, Conference USA has six primary bowl tie-ins and one secondary tie-in. Thus far UTEP and Charlotte are eliminated from bowl contention while Rice is trending out of the postseason race. With that in mind, here’s the latest bowl projections across the internet post-Week 7.

There has been a noticeable shift in the projections since last week, with every service now listing WKU as in. Let’s take all of these with a heavy grain of salt. I still believe that WKU will push heavily for the Gasparilla Bowl in St. Petersburg but FIU/FAU’s proximity may push them towards a less desirable location (New Orleans would still be a lot of fun). We’ll continue to update you weekly on the projections and as more outlets (Athlon, etc.) release their projections following Week 7.
What do you think about WKU’s projected destinations? Is the media completely off base with their predictions? Where do you want to see the Tops go? Let us know in a comment below, via Twitter at @TheTowelRackWKU or on our Facebook page.
