Liberty gets the Fiesta Bowl against Oregon.

We avoid Idaho

Huskies get the Naty and Ducks get Liberty. Wonderful! Poor Fiesta Bowl committee! It could have been Oregon vs Alabama.

Won’t be playing Boise State

If I’m honest I’m kinda glad we didn’t get the NY6… watching us get destroyed by Oregon on national television would not be fun

Wow. 12 of the last 14 years they’ve had a MAC team!

Well, there goes Boise State.

There have been pretty clear reports that Barstool wants us, but they have the second pick of MAC teams with ESPN first. ESPN may choose Toledo if they think they’ll draw more eyeballs with their sexier style of play with the side benefit of a larger fan base for the sake of attendance, but imo ESPN will try placing us with another G5 champ instead since a champion-champion matchup is probably the best possible ratings they can get from a MAC team.

Won’t be the Toastery!

Nah, the Ducks should be glad we didn’t get the NY6 bid. Oregon wouldn’t enjoy getting their butts kicked by a G5 team.

And I can say it because it technically can’t be disproven.

So that’s two bowls that normally take MAC teams without a MAC team this year.

Here come the MAC Bowls

Which imo increases the probability of us being in an atypical MAC bowl (like us getting St. Pete in 2016) for the sake of ESPN pairings.

Come on Brett, that’s only half of a matchup. You’re better than that.
