So, I've certainly written a lot about the MAC's putrid record in bowl games over the past few years. Yesterday was a good day--two wins--for the MAC, in a year where I think the matchups are pretty favorable to us and the conference has a shot at winning at least four and maybe all the games.
In the New Mexico bowl, Temple manhandled Wyoming pretty well. You don't want to bring a true freshman against that lineup. Anyway, it was also a bad day for common opponent analysis, where a team BG beat won easily against a team that beat BG. Anyway, congrats to Temple. It was a very nice win.
Then, the OU Bobcats, taking on a Utah State team that should have won at Auburn, had a great comeback, survived a clown-car officiating period at the end, and scored in the final seconds to rally and win that game. I thought OU was, in many ways, the best team in the conference this year, and it was good to see them represent that conference well in Boise.
Great job. Two thumbs up.
