The real question is, are these guys just plugging in holes at random to fill in a bracket or do they have some smidgen of inside info? The reason I ask is because the bulk of the predictions had us at the Salute to Veterans Bowl for several weeks but now that we are officially bowl eligible, most of the prognosticators are sending us back to Boise.

I don't believe they have any inside info. The fact remains we'll be in a bowl game and we are playing for a national TV appearance in the MACC at the moment.

No, I don't think that they have any inside info. They just project out the remaining games and look at things, I think to varying degrees, like who has been to what bowl recently.

Teamrankings sum is 83.8. If I counted correctly there are 82 postseason spots. There is a pretty good chance that the MAC will have eight eligible teams and a 6-6 MAC team will watch the bowls from home. I'd think that EMU is a a good candidate to be one of most likely two or three eligible FBS teams that end up watching. If it goes over by more than that I think more than one will be watching.

Really can't see us going back to Arizona. Pretty sure they will rotate it to another team to experience that bowl game.

I would love to play a P4 team. That Michigan State bowl game would be awesome. Nice exposure during times when teams are switching conferences. Not saying we will get offered, but the more opportunities we get to beat them on TV, the better. Plus any athletes in the portal would take a serious look at us after we were gutted the previous portal cycle and still found success.

*Supposedly* Ohio gets bigger bowl ratings and sells more tickets than most other MAC programs, so inviting them back doesn't actually surprise me. I say supposedly because I don't think any MAC teams really do that well in the $$$$ sense in these bowls but I understand that the AB was very happy with the numbers from OU's visit two years ago and now it's a bigger deal and I, for one, would be very cool with OU being on a game that is actually nationally broadcast on over-the-air network tv. Believe it or not, but the CW has 100% coverage in the US because it has so many smaller stations in smaller markets along with the stations in the large markets.

Pin this to the top.

We have to find a way to better market ourselves as a destination to find success - before OR after you've been to the P4.

Rourke. Sears.

What a year for former Ohio Bobcats. Rourke crushing it. Sears could be POY. I know some peoples ass are still burnt, but this is our reality - we should craft the narrative.

Come to OU, we can build you into the best players in the country.

If you've already been to a power program and didn't find success, come here and win some jewelry. We can be raided and still hold our status. Come be a part of a stone cold winner.

Every mid-major will have to market themselves differently. This could be a great selling point as you stated. Even a nice presentation of transfers who went on to have success would work wonders (Rourke, Wiglusz, Sears, etc). Really proud of OU and its response to the "NIL/portal era" and the changing sports landscape of realignment.

I�d love for us to have a shot at a Big 10 team in Detroit, I probably won�t be able to make a likely MAC title game on the 7th but easily can make a 2pm in Detroit on the 26th.

Totally agree, I have been wanting this for years. Would love to play a 6-6 Wisconsin or something to that degree. Have we ever played a P5 team in a bowl? Just seems like we always get the same type of opponents.
