Stewart has 5 MAC teams bowling.
GoDaddy.com: NIU vs. Arkansas State
Little Caesars: Ohio vs. Northwestern
Idaho Potato: Toledo vs Louisiana Tech
Kraft Fight Hunger: Western Michigan vs. Cal
New Mexico: Temple vs. San Diego St.
-He's done pretty good, having the MAC fill its 3 primary bowls plus 2 of the secondary bowls.
-And he has the St. Pete bowl being filled by C-USA and Big East teams, so no secondary agreements kicking in.
-But he has the Birmingham bowl's SEC slot unfulfilled by the SEC and has put FIU in that slot. This slot would go to the MAC and even if this bowl wanted FIU and were to wheel-and-deal to get them, that would put the MAC team that should have gone there in another bowl without a secondary agreement with the MAC. And his projections do not show that, so what Mr. Mandel meant to project was 6 MAC teams bowling. That 6th team would be Ball State.
GO MAC!
