Georgia Southern's bowl waiver has been denied.  They are likely going to win their conference and therefore would get an bid to the New Orleans Bowl.  Even if they lose they would likely end up at the Go Daddy or Camelia Bowl.  Since it is their first year in the FBS the NCAA does not allow them to go to a bowl game.  Most teams aren't able to win enough games in their transitional year, but they are 8-3 with a chance to be 9-3.  I can't think of a good reason for that rule or why it shouldn't be waived for Georgia Southern.  Just dumb.
