In so many ways, MAC football has never been stronger. With the announcement approving the inauguration of the International Bowl (MAC vs. Big East) in Toronto, we now have three post-season opportunities. With the addition of a fifth BCS game, the MAC has never been closer to a spot in this elite bracket. When the Bobcats win the MAC Championship and secure a Top 12 national ranking, we will be assured a spot in a BCS game! In addition, 55 MAC football games were televised last year and it appears we may surpass that number in 2006. This national visibility is a tremendous marketing tool for universities and greatly assists football recruiting.
One issue of concern that all MAC institutions share is how to increase football attendance. While there are many factors related to game attendance,
I am excited about our Bobcat Family Package that will be proactively marketed beginning in the next few weeks.

They were down in Mobile for some GMAC Bowl stuff and must have decided to have their own meetings while down there.

any non bcs team is only guaranteed a spot if above #12.... and no other non bcs is above #12... example Toledo is #11 and Fresno is #10 or #12... they have the choice of either school... thus neither the Wac nor Mac are guaranteed the spot. congrats on the 3rd bowl.. that is big for the mac.

Now I could be wrong, but it seems to me that the wording was up to two non-bcs teams would be guaranteed, but more than two would not.
