PrintFire Up Chips! Congrats to Central Michigan on winning the championship for the 3rd time in 4 years. Adding in the bowl games on Ford Field, that's 6 postseason appearances without leaving the state in recent years. Time for you to leave Detroit for once and be the premier team for the GMAC Bowl in Mobile.
Should be an exciting day of college football Saturday with various conference championships all across the country. MAC play is done and we have to wait until at least Sunday until the BCS bowls to know exactly where we are going for the postseason. Or earlier, you never know. Since Notre Dame is a bunch of sallys and are afraid of losing to a MAC team in a bowl, UCLA will take their spot and I see them taking on the Bobcats in Detroit.
My Final Bowl Projections:
- GMAC Bowl: Central Michigan vs. Troy
- Little Caesars Pizza Bowl: Ohio vs. UCLA
- International Bowl: Northern Illinois vs. UConn
- EagleBank Bowl: Temple vs. Marshall
- Humanitarian Bowl: Bowling Green vs. Idaho
Yes, these predictions are probably horribly off. What are your predictions for the end of this weekend?
Somewhat relevant games to watch:
7:00 PM - Nebraska vs. Texas (-14) on ABC
Texas should win easily. If not, they send the BCS into a tailspin.
10:30 PM - Wisconsin @ Hawaii (+12.5) on ESPN2
Hawaii is looking to one-up their 6-6 record in the 13th game of the season and become bowl eligible.

good picks
I like your picks – the Toronto game would be “The Huskie Bowl” if you’re right. Any chance Marshall declines a bid (based on its coach leaving)?
Word from Huntington
Is that assistant coach Rick Minter will coach the team *if they get a bowl invitation.
Red and Black Attack - Northern Illinois Pride
EagleBank Bowl
How does this bowl work, does Army still have a chance if it wins? Not sure how that could affect our status. Either way, still hoping to play in Detroit because then i can make it, but I know it is a long shot.
