Liberty’s offense exploded for 56 points in Saturday’s win over Southern Miss as the Flames move to 6-0 for the first time since 2008. The Flames enter the bye week on the heels of Malik Willis’ seven touchdown afternoon. Liberty continues to receive votes in both major college football polls and are knocking on the door of entering both the Coaches and AP Top 25 poll.

Following the Oct. 31 bye week, Liberty will head to Blacksburg for the 2nd ever meeting against Virginia Tech. Here’s a look at how Liberty’s strong start to the season has affected Liberty’s bowl projections.

The Flames are looking to return to a bowl game for the second straight season after Hugh Freeze led the program to its first ever bowl appearance a season ago when Liberty defeated Georgia Southern in the Cure Bowl.
