All four of our non-conference opponents are playing in Bowl games this year. Wonder how many other bowl teams can say that?

And, to add to that, every one of BG's losses this year was to a bowl team. Missouri, Marshall, Boise State, Ohio and CMU. We finished 6-2 in the MAC and both losses were to the teams that played for the title. This was a tough sked for us and to finish 7-5 and go bowling is great.
This is only the beginning...Coach Claw is da man.
BEAT IDAHO!!!!!

That's a great question and I have a lot of free time on my hands so I did a little research. The only other FBS school that can make that claim(bowl team or not) is Virginia Tech. Their non-conference schedule consisted of Alabama, Nebraska, Marshall, and East Carolina.

That's a murderer's row of a nonconference schedule, geez.
