Pick the MAC bowl games
Some nice MAC bowl games (and, of course, some, one[?] clunkers):
1). I like NIU/Duke at Ford Field. Type of G5/P5 match up we like. Crowd could be a real issue here.
2). TOL vs. Appy State could be a good one. Both teams score almost as much as men's basketball teams do. Both are conference champs.
3). CMU/WYO could be also good one. What's the status of WYO's highly touted QB, Josh Allen? Morris vs. Allen could be a good one for a G5 bowl game. In bowl games casual viewers come to see offense and QBs.
4). Ohio/UAB in the Bahamas. I went last year for EMU's game and highly recommend it. We had a nice pep rally at the Atlantis, there is a casino there, etc. For those who want to spend money, they can in this nice resort. UAB is a Cinderella team and this bowl likes Cinderellas (last year EMU and ODU).
5). Akron/FAU in the Boca Raton bowl game. Akron faces another very tough match-up on friendly turf. Friendly turf for their OPPONENTS. Afraid this game could be ugly.
Curious what the point spreads will be on these games.
Not MAC-related but I see a lot of other interesting bowl games involving one or two non-P5 teams.
For example, SDSU vs. Army. Texas Tech vs. USF. Fresno vs. Houston. Iowa State vs. Memphis (in Memphis). UCF vs. Auburn.
