In the fantasy season of the Zips beating Oklahoma and Pitt and convincingly winning every other regular season and MAC championship game, they would be highly ranked and a candidate for any bowl game outside of the Rose Bowl, Orange Bowl, Cotton Bowl, Sugar Bowl or any bowl game that isn't locked into non-MAC conference opponents. Just glancing at the list of next season's bowl games, I'd say the top possibility would be the Jan. 1 Fiesta Bowl (At-Large vs. At-Large). Reality check: Fiesta Bowl representatives would look at the average attendance at Zips games, politely excuse themselves and quickly choose the top two opponents who would likely bring large numbers of fans to Glendale, AZ, as would all the other top bowl game reps.
