who are you pulling for to get the Access Bowl
I would like to See Toledo then Temple or Memphis.
All three have a decent shot and it would be huge for the programs.
The Access Bowl over time will be looked at as a sort or G5 championship or similar to an FCS championship.
FCS will be like a D2 championship

The most deserving team, whoever it turns out to be.

Boise State because I don't think anyone else has a chance of winning if they get sent this year. And even Boise is down from last season.

RE: who are you pulling for to get the Access Bowl
I generally pull for the Ohio and MAC teams all else being equal. I'd love to see Toledo make it. If they make it, I think they'll be fairly big underdogs against their opponent, but we've seen some pretty good upsets in these games.
Note: The rare set of circumstances that would put Ohio State in the Fiesta/Peach Bowls is the only scenario where I wouldn't want Toledo.

Worried about an in-state school putting it to the Buckeyes?

Multiple G5 teams capable of winning an access bowl. UCF was 16-17 point dog when they beat Baylor in the Fiesta Bowl. We don't even know what the teams are yet, lol.

If Memphis finishes the season undefeated gives Ole Miss only lose and Ole Miss wins the SEC West and if either Temple or Navy beats Notre Dame then I think Memphis gets a shot at a playoff spot.

I like Houston out of the AAC west.

Buckeyes remember the debacle a few years ago where a reprimanded set of officials gave a game to the Nuts in a game clearly deservedly won by the Rockets. But no Nut fan would be would admit it. Buckeyes can suck it and this Rocket fan would LOVE that matchup. On second thought watching OSU nauseates me so I would not want that in a bowl game

UCF was really good in 2013. By week 5 that season they were 4-1 with three road wins, including one at Penn State, and a three point loss to a top 5 South Carolina team. Besides, that was the last year of the BCS and the got an automatic bid by winning the AAC carrying over from the Big East.
I think, like last season, there will be no powerhouse G5 team that blows people away and, because of this, Boise will get the benefit of the doubt, and like last season, they might just deliver.

I'd love to see Temple pull it out. They would have come full circle from their Big East expulsion.

Toledo, mostly for MAC pride. They have a solid team this year too, I think they'd represent us well. Memphis is in second place, they're a good team and the UM fans I met when I spent a weekend in Memphis this past March were very nice.

I don't know if it would be allowed technically, but I'd like to see BYU get it. They are a P5 equivalent team and shown they can beat P5 teams.
