Yeah, it was less than pretty, but to be bowl eligible for the fourth time in four years of FBS football (or that we were able to go to a bowl), that just feels sweet. Go Apps!!!

Either of these will be a good opponent for us, right? You think we deserve better?

Yes, we deserve better. But we are still a young program in this world of FBS and we will take, love and dominate whatever bowl they put us in. Play and win, the rest will work itself out.

I’ll walk that back, we do deserve better than Toledo this year but if Ohio closes out they likely would not be in Alabama. Still my point was that a top tier MAC opponent is not a bad draw for us in a bowl game. If luck had not turned on us I would have been all in for we deserve better and if we had maintained 25 we would have been given better whether it was NYE or something else.

Had we won out but not gotten the NY6 I think we would still be stuck with our tie in bowl options. If the pieces fall into place with the conference championship game nothing will really have changed. Do we want a top MAC team to pay or an ACC .500 team?

I would take an ACC .500 but that’s not in the cards right? I would like to see us have a P5 tie in for sure especially for the champion.

Toledo thought they deserved a better team too last year. Just saying.

They didn’t just get a better team. They got a superior team.

For what it's worth, ESPN now says LaTech in R&L Carriers Bowl or Memphis in the Birmingham Bowl
