There are a lot of variables that can come into play when you're looking to choose between bowls. The Bahamas bowl is played in a stadium with a capacity of 15,000. Ford Field holds 65,000.How many tickets does each bowl require schools to buy and what is the face value? What is the bowl payout? Are travel/lodging expenses covered? Etc. Etc.

SBnation has Akron vs MTSU in the Bahamas. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2015/11/29/9813564/bowl-games-projections-2015-ncaa-football-playoff-predictions So does CBSsports. http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/bowls/predictions Campus Insiders has us in the Idaho Potato Bowl vs Boise http://campusinsiders.com/news/2015-2016-college-football-bowl-projections-after-week-13-11-29-2015 That seems to be the only predictions that have been updated for now. While the Bahamas would be nice, I would prefer something not as close to Christmas for personal reasons. I plan to find a way to go either way.

I'm sure it will be leaked as soon as something is determined. McMurphy leaked MTSU to the Bahamas bowl days ago.

Looks like he had offers from EMU and SDSU as well. Also looks like we underwent some surgery that hopefully kept him under the radar a little bit.

That would be a horrible hiring. As for Babers, I'll throw his name in the ring for UCF. No clue for Fleck and Carey. This year may not be their year.

Obv. case by case scenario, but what have Solich and Bowden ever done in the conference? I do like the perceived stability he brings, but I wouldn't mind some big victories over ranked teams, a national ranking, winning the conference, and being in line for a New Year's day bowl bid. Hopefully we end up getting that with Bowden, but I'm not sure I'd want Solich, or even Bowden if this is all he ever turns out to be.

It is a very stupid question. Its not uncommon for the conference to fork over some money to help cover the costs as well as the team payout the bowls give as well. For example, the MAC forked over 450k CMU in the Bahamas bowl last year. http://www.cm-life.com/article/2014/12/fball-bowl-costs Bowl payouts, notice a lot of the MAC bowls say "TBD", but it is safe to assume at least a few hundred thousand and payouts if you look at the rest of them. http://www.statisticbrain.com/college-bowl-game-payouts/ I find it hard to believe we would actually lose money going to a bowl game. I think we should pay close attention to those payouts however and factor that into consideration if we have a choice.

Maybe it has to do with FAU's strong showing against an overrated SEC team in Florida last week.

There were legitimate streaming issues yesterday, but it had nothing to do with Akron. It had to do with that crappy American Sports Network that the MAC is contracted with/ESPN outsources to. Sidenote: I took a look over there and the whole can't read, can't write thing holds water. Those guys are not knowledgeable.

I know the general consensus seems to be that we are in no matter what, but I'm still keeping tracker anyways. Somebody said something about picking. This could show us how many bowls we might have that option with. AAC: East Carolina has Cinci next week. After Cinci got their doors blown off against USF, this game is pretty much 50/50. Tulsa. Beat Tulane. – Bowl Eligible ACC: Virginia Tech. They have Virginia next week. Probably a more likely than not chance that VT becomes bowl eligible.' Big 12: Texas. Has TTU and Baylor left. Highly unlikely they win out to become bowl eligible. Lost to TT - Eliminated KState: Has Kansas and WVU left. Shouldn't lose to Kansas, but I don't see them getting by WVU. B1G; Indiana- has Purdue. Should be a win there. Nebraska- Iowa. L. Lost to Iowa. - Eliminated Illinois. Northwestern. L. Minnesota. Wisconsing..most likely L. CUSA: Old Dominion - should become bowl eligible with a win over FAU MAC: Buffalo. Lost to umass -Eliminated Mountain West: San Jose State- has Boise. I dont see them beating Boise. Lost to Boise - Eliminated Pac 12: Washington. Have Wash St next week and should be underdogs in it. Could go either way IMO. – Bowl Eligible SEC: Vandy. lost to A&M - ELIMINATED kentucky- Have Louisville next week. ABout 50/50. Missouri - Arkansas. Probably most likely loss. -Lost to Arkansas. Eliminated Sun Belt: Georgia State: Has to beat GA Southern. Not going to happen. South Alabama. Needs to go 1-1 vs GA Soutern and App State. Most likely not going to happen. ULL: Needs to win out vs App State and Troy. Most likely not going to happen. So there were 19 teams fighting for 9 spots. 6 have been eliminated, 2 have clinched and 11 are still TBD. Most likely will qualify: 3 Maybe will qualify: 2 Most likely wont qualify: 6 Eliminated: 6 Qualified: 2

That's awesome.

Really total domination even though the score was 20-0. We shot ourselves in the foot twice in the red zone inside of the two yard line with penalties. Happy to see these guys go out at home with a win and bringing the Wagon Wheel back to Akron. Pratt is a guy who I want to throw out a special mention to. He played gave us the best game of his career today, IMO. I am shocked that we ended the season 4-0. On paper we should have or at the very least 3-1, but these guys executed when the time mattered and showed us the program has improved. Let's go bowling and Can't State still sucks!

Yes, see Toledo a few years ago when we beat them the final game of the season to go 5-7 for the first time. Its highly unlikely that will happen this year to anyone.

Wouldnt mind seeing some back ups getting some experience.

But it's not Cody's fault. It's Milwee's for never mixing it up. Ever. We keep shooting ourselves in the foot in the redzone with these penalties.

i really wanted Cody to get that TD there in his last home game. He deserves it.

Was that nearly a 10 minute drive??

Stream is back up and hopefully for good.

I hope I get to see that Williams TD. Following on gamecast sucks.

Stream is back if anyone has given up. Nice downfield blocking by Jerome on that long Woodson run.

Piece of shit American Sports Network feed that the MAC contracted with is experiencing "technical difficulties"

Surprisingly, no.

This really needs fixed. Vouchers to pick up at halftime or the end of game. Something other than this. Zac Jackson ‏@AkronJackson 6m6 minutes ago Watched a guy take 6 tickets, walk into Akron-Can't, collect his 6 Charlie Frye bobbleheads and leave. As always, these are true stories.

The MAC is weird. On top of that, NIU beat Toledo with their second string QB....
