Most Memorable Bobcat Events Attended 2010 97-83 win over Georgetown in NCAA 1st round 2012 45-13 victory over ULM in the Independence Bowl 2015 34-3 drubbing of Miami @ Peden front of 25,086 Back to Top OhioStunter General User Member Since: 2/18/2005 Location: Chicago Post Count: 2,516 Status: Offline     RE: Bowl Situation    Posted: 11/23/2016 1:08:05 AM  If we play WMU, the bowl will be the same whether we win or lose -- the one in Mobile.

Agreed. WMU has been THE story this year, so they will likely go to a non-MAC bowl game regardless of whether they beat Toledo or win the MACCG. If they're MAC champs, they likely get a NY6 bowl (although that's not a guarantee, given how the playoff committee has been unimpressed with them). If they don't get a NY6, the B10, ACC and MWC at least will likely be short of teams to fill slots, so WMU will probably get one of their bowls and the other five bowl-eligible MAC teams will fill in the MAC slots. Depends on what kind of deal the MAC can negotiate. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

If WMU wins, they could go to a bigger bowl. If WMU loses, Ohio is the MAC champ. Hey, bowl season could go any way, so this is all not set in stone...

The bowls tied to the MAC ultimately have first choice, but a lot of times, negotiations are made to allow a team like Western Michigan into a non-MAC bowl if it is better. It's all a lot of negotiating between the bowls, the league and the schools, so there really is now way to tell which bowl Ohio will get, win or lose, no matter the opponent.

Remember, too, that most bowls are ESPN concoctions, so they would want to have matchups that create the most interest for ratings purposes. A 12-1 WMU vs a "P"5 school would have much more appeal than vs an 8-4 Ark St. Interestingly, Boise might get shut out from the MWC championship game and thus might not get a NY6 bowl. WMU vs Boise somewhere would be very attractive. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

CFN is wrong-y-wrong-y-wrong: The highest-ranked CONFERENCE CHAMPION from ACC, CUSA, MAC, MW, and SunBelt will play in a new years 6 bowl. If you're not a conference champion you're not eligible for the NY-6 bowl spot** **Exception: If a group of 5 team is somehow ranked in the top 4 but not a conference champion they would be in the playoff but not count as the G5 rep in the NY6 bowl games.

I'd love to see the players get a shot at a good opponent over one that no one cares about. Let's face it, there's too many bowls and a lot of games that no one cares about outside of the schools playing in them. If Ohio happens to get one of the good teams out there as an opponent, that's very exciting for the program and players instead of facing some 6-6 Sun Belt or CUSA team. Ohio hung in there with Tennessee and nearly beat Western Michigan. I'd love to see Ohio get one more crack at a really solid team in a bowl.

That's a better opponent and payout, although not nearly as fun a location. Also, there appears to be some shuffling among bowl ties: http://www.hustlebelt.com/2016/12/4/13831796/mid-american...
