A friend of mine asked me how many MAC schools were in bowl games.  He knew the answer but I guessed 4.  The correct answer is 8!  Only 4 MAC schools didn't make bowl games.  Seems to me there might be too many bowl games ha ha.  I remember a time where only 1-2 MAC schools made it and now everyone gets a bowl game.  You get a bowl game and you get a bowl game!

I always feel for the team that gets Detroit, especially when its an in-state school. Toledo and Western are both 7-5, one is packing for the Bahamas and the other for Detroit in late December.

EMU looking for their first bowl win under Creighton but...it's their 3rd bowl trip in 4 seasons.  They've only played in 1 bowl game ever before he showed up.  Really impressed by him.

Also, MSU is going to have a lot of trouble against Pitt.  That passing game is as good as any they've seen this year plus their rush defense holds teams to under 3 ypc.  Walker will break some runs in that game but I saw some MSU fans talking about how their pass defense will be better when everyone is healthy and...they've been bad all year.  They had their starters (or at least most of them) against Purdue and OSU as well and got smoked.
