If they continue their current trajectory, it will become a significant event. The three Michigan MAC schools are on track to participate in bowl games, marking only the third occurrence in their history. Additionally, all five Division I football teams in the state are set to compete in bowl games for the second time ever.
All three MAC schools participated in bowl games during the 2016 season, and all five schools successfully secured spots in the postseason during the 2019 season.
Out of the MAC trio, Central Michigan holds the record for the highest number of bowl appearances, standing at 12. They have also secured the most wins, with a total of three. As for Western Michigan, they have participated in 10 bowl games and clinched one victory in 2015. On the other hand, Eastern Michigan has made their presence felt in five bowl games, achieving a win back in 1987.
By simply showing up together, the MAC schools have already etched their names in history. Now the question remains: can they further enhance their achievement by sweeping their opponents?
Update: Unfortunately, Eastern Michigan was unable to secure a victory in their bowl game opener on Dec. 18 against Liberty. They suffered a significant defeat, losing the Lending Tree Bowl with a score of 56-20.
Despite playing away from home, WMU stepped up and dominated the Quick Lane Bowl at Ford Field on Monday, defeating Nevada with an impressive score of 52-24.
Will CMU be able to help the MAC schools in Michigan achieve a winning record in this year’s bowl season?

With a bowl record of 3-9, Central holds the best record among the MAC schools in Michigan.
After suffering a one-point defeat to Northern Illinois in late October, Central bounced back and emerged victorious in their remaining four matches.
