RE: Bowl projections 2017-18
Assuming we stomp Akron next weekend, most likely we play troy in Mobile, which would be a good matchup and probably pretty well attended bowl game, if not the sexiest bowl possibility.

Looks like ACC will fill their spot in the Detroit Bowl with Florida St, Duke or Virginia. Big ten looks to be 1 or 2 bowl teams short this year for their smaller Texas bowl tie in and the Detroit Bowl, depends on if they send a team to the corporate playoff payoff thing. MAC probably puts a team in Detroit as we are the primary backup, but i don't think a MAC champ has ever maneuver into that game since it changed from the original MAC Champ-BIG10 matchup.

Ohio in Bahamas

I think NIU's defense vs Troy's run game would be a good battle in Mobile. They might prefer NIU who hasn't been there since 2012 and is the MAC's 2nd best bowl team, imo, than Toledo who has been to Alabama 2 of the last 3 years and didn't travel well to Montgomery last year.

This year most leagues can fill their bowl slots so not much wiggle room and some 6-6 teams and possibly a couple 7-5 will stay home. I could see Akron missing a bowl at 7-6.
---update----
Latest projections have 6 bowls with a P5 team but no eligible tie-in team. there are likely 3 bowl eligible P5 teams (from ACC and PAC12) with no bowl tie in spots. so, expect those 3 teams to fill half of those open 6 bowls. that leaves 3 extra bowl openings vs a P5 opponent possible. 3 of these 6 games below. Utah will probably fill one of the Texas bowl openings. MAC will probably fill Detroit. This could change if Big10 and Big 12 play themselves out of the playoff payoff in their conf champ games. Will still be the same math but a couple of these lower bowls will get filled and couple others won't.
Birmingham 12/23 vs AAC #2/3 team
Detroit 12/26 vs a 6-6 ACC team
Dallas 12/26 vs a 6-6 Big 12 team from Texas
Shreveport 12/27 vs a 6-6 ACC team
Santa Clara 12/27 vs a winning PAC12 team
Houston 12/27 vs a Big12 team
