The Arizona Bowl tweeted out today that their "final eight" are: Eastern, BG, Ohio, Toledo, Boise State, Fresno State, San Jose State, and Wyoming.

Now, the Arizona Bowl is one with a direct MAC tie-in. The MAC currently has five bowl eligible teams and one of them (Miami-OH) have already accepted a bid to the Bahamas Bowl....so of course the other four MAC school would be finalist.

So that tweet from the Arizona Bowl basically means nothing, however it seems like multiple posters have been hearing the same thing about Arizona being the spot.

Weatherbe said on last week's podcast that ESPN gets the first choice of a Mac School for one of the ESPN bowls. Then Barstool (Arizona) gets the next choice. Not sure what the plan is after that. I would guess that ESPN will take Ohio or Toledo with the first choice. Not sure what bowl game they would put them in though. Second choice would be one of the other three or four Mac schools.

I'll take a wild guess that the survey Eastern did had the Quick Lane as the most preferred game for Eastern fans.

My prediction is Eastern goes to the Quick Lane against either Connecticut or Rice.
