[U]The Pesci Bowl
[/U]
Besides keeping track of the current contenders for the college football play, for the last couple of years I have been imagining something I call the Pesci Bowl- a bowl game between the two best teams who were unable to make the playoff besides excellent records because their schedules were not considered “big time”. In current parlance, that would mean teams that aren’t in the “Power Five” conferences.  (For my estimation of who might have played in previous “Pesci Bowls” – see below). I’ve named the fictional event after actor Joe Pesci, a  vertically challenged but feisty actor we’ve seen in many films, especially “Goodfellas” and “Casino”.

I’ve listed the non-power Five teams with no or one loss with the teams they have left to play on their schedules that are also on the list.

BOISE STATE is 7-0 and will be playing no one on this list the rest of the way

WESTERN MICHIGAN is 8-0 and will be playing:
Toledo (6-1) on 11/25 at home

NAVY is 5-1 and will be playing no one on this list

TOLEDO is 6-1 and will be playing:
At Western Michigan (8-0) on 11/25

SAN DIEGO STATE is 6-1 and will be playing no one on this list.

TROY is 6-1 and will be playing no one on this list.

Comments: This would seem to come down to the Western Michigan-Toledo game. If WMU wins, they will likely be in the Pesci Bowl vs. Boise State. If Toledo wins, they go into a mix with Navy and Sand Diego State,. Any of those would be picked above Troy if they had the same record.
