Are we really at the point whereby 6-6 MAC teams earn bowl bids? Why play the Little Ceasar's Bowl? No one wants to play in that game (sorry Detroit). No one will see it. What is the point?
That .500 MAC team, Central Michigan, will square off against a very good Western Kentucky squad. Central went 4-1 down the stretch to claim this bowl berth. The cumulative record of the four teams they beat? 8-40. You cannot make this up. Their opponent tonight, Western Kentucky, struggled down the stretch, losing four of six after a great start to the season (5-1 with wins on the road at Kentucky, Arkansas State and Troy). Their coach, Willie Taggart, has accepted the job at USF. But this is a veteran Western squad and in a match-up of squads looking to pound the ball more often than most they should come out ahead by more than a TD. Pick: Western Kentucky -6.
