I'm bored, so let's throw out a hypothetical with these two options:
1.) Beat Louisville. Vault into the top 25 after the Marshall game, and stay in the top 25 until two late losses to BG and Kent. Finish with a 10-2 record (2nd place MAC East), and invited to the Idaho Potato Bowl.
2.) Lose to Louisville. Lose one other MAC game. Finish with 10-2 record (1st place MAC East). Win MAC championship game and invited to Little Caesars bowl.
Is there any debate to even be had here?
Depends on who we would play in the MACC. Mobile has the first pick of MAC bowl teams this year. If we were to play NIU, you'd probably be right. NIU doesn't travel well to Motown and would bring more to Mobile. But if we were to play Toledo -- which packed Ford Field the last time they were there -- I'd guess that the MAC would cut a deal to send us to Mobile and Toledo to Detroit.
