Does this give their rankings a bit less credibility??

18. New Mexico (Dec. 15, Albuquerque, N.M.): Nevada (7-5) vs. Arizona (7-5)
The first matchup of the bowl season should be entertaining. Toledo is 105th in total defense in FBS, but that's still better than Arizona, which is 116th. Points will be plentiful.

  They had some issues with Ball State, too:

28. Beef 'O' Brady's (Dec. 21, St. Petersburg, Fla.): Ball State (9-3) vs. UCF (9-4)
Ball State was 3-3 before an overtime win sparked a six-game losing streak, and it will face a UCF team that lost a shot at the C-USA title in a heartbreaking overtime loss to Tulsa on Saturday.




  Just sayin', Doc.  We like being editing mavens here on B/A.

Most of our bowls have either been ranked dead last or close, so 25th is an improvement.

hmmm read the part about louisaiana lafayette and it seems that the only  reason Ohio is in a bowl game is because they either turned it down or were offered and didn't give a yes quick enough. So it would seem Central would have been in a bowl game before we were.

Dave, I think you mean Louisiana Tech.

Also, FWIW, ESPN's Mark Schlabach ranks us 28th out of the bowls (Granted, he's ESPN's biggest SEC homer...)

Where did you get that idea? We apparently were headed for the Military Bowl before this opportunity developed. CMU would clearly have been left out. Do you enjoy negative thinking?

CMU's in only because La Tech isn't.  If La Tech had ok'd Independence, Toledo would've gone to Detroit, BG would be in Boise and we'd have DC.  No way they would let CMU in ahead of us.

I think Sun Belt is punishing MTSU for jumping to CUSA.  Can't help but believe they'd go to Detroit with their 8-4 record instead of 7-5 WKU, especially with cheap SW non-stop flights from Nashville.
