Not a bad bowl in the bunch. Personally I prefer we get to participate in two of the above...

I want a bowl in San Diego with a side trip to Black's Beach. No speedo. No clothes.

Two such beaches in S FL.
Blind Creek Beach-Ft Pierce
Haulover Beach-Miami

In the rescheduled game, Akron leads UB 16-0 at the start of the 2nd quarter in Buffalo.

#1 If this holds Buffalo won't make a bowl.

#2 That Akron team is really on a hot streak to end the season. Nearly beat Kent on the road, played EMU tough, smoked NIU 44-12, and now is dominating so far against Buffalo. Next season in Moorhead's year 2 they could be a decent MAC team for the first time in a while.

Anything in Ft. Myers, among the retirees and snow birds?

While I was responding to BobW I missed the end of UB/Akron. UB is bowl bound. Congrats.

Really nice play by Q Williams for the game winning TD.

It seems like we got Buffalo for their best game of the season. NIU too.

It would have been nice for the defensive coaches to show up for NIU.

Nickel ain't that the truth!

That wraps it all up! Buffalo is the last team in, not just for the MAC, but for all of college football. There weren't enough 6-6 or better teams, so Rice gets in at 5-7.

Bowl eligible
Ohio (9-3)
Eastern Michigan (8-4)
Toledo (7-5)
Bowling Green (6-6)
Miami (6-6)
Buffalo (6-6)

Eliminated
Akron
Northern Illinois
Western Michigan
Kent State
Central Michigan
Ball State

All that is left to do is watch the conference title games tonight and tomorrow and see where everyone goes on Sunday.

With Utah beating USC and knocking them out of the playoffs, that likely moves Ohio State in. That means the Rose Bowl can take Penn State without having to "skip over" Ohio State to do it, so a Big Ten team will likely not be in the Quick Lane Bowl now.

For what it's worth, I've seen multiple people projecting us to the Potato Bowl against Utah State.

Lots of talk around the Arizona Bowl or the Cure Bowl.

Toledo’s result could play into the Quick Lane Bowl’s decision.

I saw that too. Yikes. Maybe it's cheaper to fly to Phoenix and just drive.

Rumor I heard is if Toledo wins they're likely going to Arizona.

If Toledo gets Arizona, the only teams that make any sense if QL wants to draw fans is EMU or maybe BG. I’ve always heard rumblings though that EMU isn’t going to a bowl they already played in. Do they have the power to actually do that, idk.
