In terms of matchups, the Lending Tree vs. a 6-6 MAC team is better if you want to have a better shot at finishing with a win. Also, Saturday is easier for travel. But you'll be lost in that full slate of December 17th games. Altogether, I think that's a pretty uninspiring option as the MAC has really no appeal down here.
Indy bowl would mean a tougher matchup if the AAC puts a team in, but it's not really going to compete with other games that day and it's closer. Albeit on a weekday, but with the holidays it shouldn't be too bad. It would be a change to a bowl that we've never been to and the opponent should be better.
NO Bowl on a Wednesday night wouldn't be bad. You'd play Conference DOA. You'd expect a lot of "been there, done that" comments, but I love the New Orleans Bowl.
I've also seen us predicted to go to the Frisco Bowl vs. San Jose State and the Gasparilla bowl. Forgot who that was against.
It'll be a dart throw until this Sunday, probably.
