According to ESPN's Week 10 Bowl Projections, there's a chance of it.
The Roady's Humanatarian Bowl is played in Boise on the fabled blue 'smurf turf.' The tie-ins for the game are the WAC #1 vs. the MWC #5. However, right now, only four MWC teams are bowl-eligible.
If San Diego State, Wyoming and UNLV fail to reach the six-win plateau, the Humanitarian Bowl will be able to select an at-large. So, even though the MAC only has three guaranteed tie-ins (Little Caesars Pizza, GMAC and International Bowls), the Bobcats could go "bowling" (can that be a college football term, like dancing for the NCAA Basketball tourney?) in Boise.
And if not this year, there is a chance the MAC will be lining up a guaranteed spot out west for 2010 and beyond. The WAC has produced a national contender in Boise State and programs such as Nevada, Idaho and Fresno State are gaining respect, so this could be a nice tie-in for the MAC.
