ACC looks like they will fill their bowl slots, Big10 may not, especially if they have a team in the playoff. Mobile Bowl is essentially the SBC winner's playoff game. They won't replace the SBC with anyone. If Rockets win the MACC there's a chance Ohio could take Mobile if UT wants another game since Ohio's band is a big draw and they were well liked down there while UT doesn't travel well for typical G5 opponents. Troy would be a tough challenge just don't intrigue local fans to make the trip. If SEC has an extra bowl team they will have some leverage on what bowl they want and an unranked MAC opponent would be low on the list.

If there was a G5 team to play an SEC, Toledo would be top 5 choices (assuming we are 11-2).

Sadly the SEC wont EVER play a MAC team in a bowl game.

ACC is more likely in Detroit... But what kind of destination is Detroit for someone who lives in Toledo? Sure the fans can travel but the players would be bored out of their minds.
