I know this game isn't going to excite anyone, but Central Michigan at least has been a steady bowl eligible mid-major the last handful of years.

They just destroyed Kansas last weekend 45-27. They beat a very good Oklahoma State team last season, despite it being a very controversial win. They destroyed Purdue 38-17 back in 2014. They beat Iowa back in 2012. They have been bowl eligible the last 5 seasons.

It's still Central Michigan...it's not that these guys are just terrible (cause they can play) it's the appeal of the game...why not say, Michigan or Michigan St?

so we have absolutely nothing to gain and a lot to lose by playing them.
Smart scheduling there.

Just play fricking Nichols or Southeastern and give them the money to get their arse kicked. Keep the money in state. No one gives a shite about these games anyway. If you aren't playing a decent P5 school, just give the money to an instate school.
