Our region doesnt host bowl games.... The game in Detroit should be ours, not 6 win ACC and BIG teams.
We have 5 tie ins. None against the best G5 league.
The funbelt has 6 tie ins. 2 less total teams. And 2 against the American.
The MWC gets an auto tie in against the PAC12.
CUSA gets 5 tie ins and 2 backups better than ours... Heart of Dallas and independance bowl which wont be filled by an SEC.
All in all. No home games. And 7 likely bowl squads... (Toledo, WMU, NIU, EMU, Ohio, Miami, UB/CMU)
This year we are not likely getting a NY6 to save us. The big10 and ACC are deep enough to fill their 8th and 9th respective games so the Lions bowl wont feature a MAC team.... Unless we do some major shifting. Those games are attendance woers so idk why the Lions wouldnt want a MAC team. Buffalo, Miami, WMU, Toledo, EMU would gladly play there.
ACC will have its 10th or 11th team in st Pete if CUSA cant fill it. We could take a CUSA spot and get pinned for a nice game with a good AAC team but thats wishful.
We deserve a respectable rotation with BOCA or a BIG game.
