The bowl game features teams from The American and Conference USA (the former of which has many past members of the latter), unless one of the conferences does not have enough bowl eligible teams, in which case the MAC or Sun Belt Conference are eligible to send a team.

Maybe the MAC is the first backup and the SBC is the second backup. Dunno

Here's what wikipedia says about the SBC and it's tie-ins:
The Sun Belt has secondary tie-ins to serve as an alternate in the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl or Beef 'O' Brady's Bowl if the primary contracted participants cannot participate.[27]

I've seen that on wikipedia but don't think it's accurate in refernce to the Sun Belt. If true then there would be no concern about a third SBC team going to Detroit since the Big Ten will not be able to fill their slot.

Here is a link to the agreement The Little Caesars Bowl officials announced through the 2013 college football season.

This agreement was announced April 12, 2010.
