There used to be an order of bowl selections per conference, does that still exist? If the Quick Lane got one of the first picks, it’s likely going to be the MACE or MACW winner, probably Toledo.

I think for the Big Ten (and some other conferences) there is still a loosely followed pecking order. For example, the champ goes to the Rose, second place Citrus, third Outback, etc. and I think the Quick Lane was something like 8th. If a team makes the BCS/now the CFP then that kind of moves everyone up a peg. I believe they don't have to take team that finished in their spot, so like the Citrus bowl wouldn't necessarily have to take the second place team, they just get the second pick.

I don't believe the MAC has an actual pecking order of the bowls they are tied into like that.
