After all of the bloodshed, here's how it all went down.
AAC - 3-3 with Tulane left to play USC so let's go with 3-4 (Memphis finally wins a bowl game.)
CUSA - 3-3 (MT, WKU and UAB get it done UTSA, UNT and Rice crapped the bed) Congrats to NMSU! Good for them. First bowl win I think.
MAC - 4-3 (OHIO, Toledo, Buffalo and EMU get it done)
MWC - 3-4 (Fresno, Boise and USAF get it done)
SBC - 3-4 (USM waits to leave CUSA before they finally have a pulse, Marshall gets the W and Troy gets one too.) Looks like the mighty SBC isn't all that mighty.
So the winner of the G5 bowl season is the MAC. Isn't that the conference a bunch of people on here didn't want us to join? Hmmmmm.
Now we get to play with powerhouses like Kennesaw St. and whoever U. CUSA wasn't the worst yet again. UTSA and UNT could have easily put us at the top. What this really shows the parity that truly exists within the G5. We think one conference is so much better than the other and they really aren't. If bowls are the pinnacle and true measurement, these results show how even it really is. Next year, it could be different with the better teams from CUSA going to the AAC but, I don't think it will.
