No more farting around. What are our tie ins, secondary's, every kind of back up agreement the MAC has. Bowl? who it's contracted too? and if it will likely be open? or what has to happen for the MAC to take the bowl? Don't post if you aren't sure. I've heard way too many different ones and I am confused as heck.

To your original point, there are a lot of people who think they know all the rules and tie-ins. Many are misinformed and making bad assumptions. There are still a LOT of moving pieces and the picture won't be clear for some time. What's likely? NIU, Ohio and Toledo go to the 3 primary MAC bowls. Temple and Western Michigan are also likely to find a home, but again there's a lot of possibilities.

I agree completely. It will probably be NIU in the Pizza Bowl, Toledo in the GoDaddy and Ohio in the Potato bowl. Then, Temple and WMU should get tie-ins from games that couldn't fill their spots.

It also didn't hurt that USC is ineligible and Miami (FL) won't go bowling.

Or that if Ohio St loses to Michigan Sat while IL beats Minny, NU beats MSU & Purdue losses to Indiana(yep a strech but I can hope), then OSU will be the only 6-6 team in the B10 and the likely candidate to fill the Pizza Bowl slot.

OSU said they will accept a bowl invite so let's get that invite out there for them! that would guarantee the highest attendance in the bowl's history.

umm... I think OSU would be picked ahead of NW, Purdue, Illinois, and Iowa if all were 7-5 and OSU was 6-6. That's how much pull they have with attendance and attraction to viewers. NO LCB ever for OSU. It doesn't go by Big10 order.... there are bowls and they pick whoever they want that is bowl eligible. Outside of the Rose bowl, different bowls have an order by best payouts and best opponents they would play. Like the Capital one auto bowl I believe is contracted to the Big10 #3 and the SEC#3 because most years they both have 2 BCS bowls. Don't quote me on that. But you can quote me on this "FORGET ABOUT OSU PLAYING A MAC SCHOOL"

No. Back to my original post about misinformation. The chances are almost zero that OSU ends up in Detroit. Their fan base travels way, way too well for them to fall there.
