College Football Bowl Ties, Affiliations For Each Conference 2023-2024

https://collegefootballnews.com/bowl-projections/college-...

MAC Bowl Ties, Affiliations

The top-ranked MAC champion will be in the mix for the Fiesta, Cotton, or Chick-fil-A Peach if it's the highest-ranked Group of Five champ - and if it's not in the College Football Playoff.

The MAC doesn�t have a true pecking order. The bowls matchups are based on best possible games and geography.

- Bahamas Bowl vs Conference USA
- Camellia Bowl vs American Athletic or Sun Belt
- Famous Idaho Potato Bowl vs Mountain West
- LendingTree Bowl vs Sun Belt
- Barstool Arizona Bowl vs Mountain West
- Quick Lane Bowl vs Big Ten

To be determined among the Group of Five conferences. MAC will get spots in two of these bowls ...

- Duluth Trading Co. Cure Bowl vs Group of Five
- Myrtle Beach Bowl vs American Athletic or Sun Belt
- New Mexico Bowl vs Conference USA
- RoofClaim.com Boca Raton Bowl vs Group of Five
- Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl vs Group of Five

That is not correct. The MAC has only 4 regular every year bowls. I said it last fall and it was said during the MACC in Detroit over the PA.

- Bahamas Bowl vs Conference USA
- Famous Idaho Potato Bowl vs Mountain West
- Barstool Arizona Bowl vs Mountain West
- Quick Lane Bowl vs Big Ten

Those games in Alabama are part of the bowl pool where the MAC has 2 guaranteed slots out of all the games in the pool. Overall then it has 6 guranteed bowl slots and a chance to place more if enough eligible teams.

Hmm, you might want to let those bowls know, then, because their websites are apparently wrong.

According to the Camellia Bowl:

Camellia Bowl wrote:

...the Camellia Bowl is a college football bowl game that annually features a representative from the Sun Belt Conference against one from the Mid-American Conference at the historic Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Ala.

According to the Lending Tree Bowl:

Lending Tree Bowl wrote:

...The game matches teams from the Sun Belt Conference and the Mid-American Conference.

Wilkipedia has the setup I mentioned:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bids_to_college_bowl_games

Mid-American Conference
2022:

Guaranteed Bowl Bid:

The Bahamas Bowl versus Conference USA
The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl versus Mountain West
The Arizona Bowl versus Mountain West
The Quick Lane Bowl versus Big Ten

2 Bids from the following:

The Boca Raton Bowl
The Camellia Bowl
The Cure Bowl
The Frisco Bowl
The LendingTree Bowl
The Myrtle Beach Bowl
The New Mexico Bowl

Further to put this to the test if indeed Lending Tree and Camellia were indeed guaranteed bowls the MAC had to play in then why isn't the MAC playing in them?

2022 (6 bowl eligilble)
Did not play in Lending Tree
Played in Boca Raton and Camelia

2021 (8 bowl eligilble)
Played Camelia, Lending Tree, Cure, Frisco, Sun (replacement for Arizona)

2020 (2 bowls played)
Did not play in Lending Tree
Played in Camelia

2019 (7 bowl eligilble)
Did not play in Camelia
Played in First Responder, New Mexico and Frisco

2018 (6 bowl eligilble)
Played in Camelia, Lending Tree, Frisco and Boca Raton

2017 (5 bowl eligilble)
Did not play in Camelia
Played in Boca Raton and Lending Tree

https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/conferences/mac/bowl...

Only 2 out of the last 6 years did the MAC play in both the Camelia and Lending Tree Bowl. In 2014-2016 the MAC played in both the Camelia and Lending Tree (predecesor Dollar General and GoDaddy) but the annual relationship between the MAC and those bowl games has faded.

Again, you probably should let the bowls know that both their websites are wrong.

After the fiasco in Arizona this past year, I'm still shaking my head that the MAC is continuing its affiliation with the junior high basement drunk bowl.

Though the actual game broadcast was OK, pre-game stuff and lots of other programming on Barstool certainly fits your description.

I didn't like everything about their presentation, but it was light, it was fun, it was focused on the participating schools and teams. The NCAA is in bed with the gambling conglomerates and this is the result. Still I hope they get to Athens for a pregame in the Fall.

Versus another typical robotic espn broadcast from an empty dome in Detroit, I'll take it. Anyone who wants better bowls better be attending the bowls we get, giving to the program, and wearing green on saturday. Not saying it will magically change, but you better earn your right to complain. ... while still acknowledging reality.

I enjoyed it. I've gone back two or three times since and rewatched it. It doesn't take itself serious and why should they? We are in a low-level, mid-major bowl that no one cares about other than fans/alumni of the two schools and gamblers. Far better attention from Barstool on Ohio than ESPN would have provided.

Go Bobcats!
