The fault for being home lies with three parties.
1 - The team for not winning a seventh game.
Don’t get me wrong, they over came a lot of injuries and a many setbacks early in the year. I don’t think the team should feel any shame for finishing 6-6.
2 - The Conference for not being strict about getting the MAC it’s four bids AND two backup bowl agreement slots this season.
UB may still have been left out in favor of WMU but it leaves a damn sour taste in my mouth to see that somehow we “traded” for Boca when we were already entitled to Boca.
