Dec. 22 Boca Raton Boca Raton, Fla. Connecticut (American) vs. NIU (MAC)

Dec. 23 Poinsettia San Diego Boise State (MWC) vs. Toledo (MAC)


I think these will be flip flopped BUT I wouldn't be upset at all if they were just as is.

Let's go beat up on a Sun Belt school so Carey can finally say he's won a bowl game.

But we did not crap the bed as badly the second time, so we are improving.

I like your Huskies vs Huskies matchup in the Boca Raton Bowl.

Phil Steele has NIU in the Poinsettia Bowl, but they are playing Air Force. He has Toledo playing Uconn in Boca, and then Ohio playing Boise St in the Potato Bowl.

Suffice to say it is a crapshoot right now & no one knows. I love the potential Bowl talk but will personally fire up for Friday and then focus on where we end up

Actually Stewart's predictions the few days before the MACC have been pretty good over the past few years. He actually talks to people in the know rather than just filling in the boxes.

+1

The proof is in the projections. You can find several different predictions as to where a given team ends up. I laugh when I hear people say we're definitely going to a certain bowl (or two).

A lot depends on how we do Friday. Win, and we're attractive to several bowls. It'll be a great story winning the MACC with our 4th string QB. Lose, especially if it's a blowout, and get ready for an unattractive bowl game. We'll have little appeal to any of the bowls and SF will have zero leverage.

BYU is going to the Vegas Bowl...which means that Boise St is definitely going to the Poinsettia Bowl vs a MAC team.

Bowls are crap shoots as far as who shows up to play and who actually plays well. As long as we are not playing a top 20 team I think that we have a chance given the proper preparation.

All depends on our line play.

Bring on those blue turf munching horses. NIU does well against horses.

That may be true, but it won't be at home with your current 1st backup (Graham), but would be away from home riding on your true frosh! Depending on how well your new QB operates in the MACC -- I would expect to desire playing a mid-range Sun Belt team to avoid a bowl loss.

The GA Southern who killed WMU? No thanks, there is zero upside to playing them or Appy St. They are good teams but not an interesting match up for the media to talk about outside of 30min before the game.

Playing Boise St in the Poinsettia or an AAC team in Boca will at least get some ears to perk up and look in on NIU even if we do lose...because the excuse of playing our 4th string true FR QB is rather easy.
