You want to talk about two teams in desperate need of finishing with something positive …
Toledo was probably the best team in the MAC this year, but it got whacked by Ohio in the game it had to have, lost to Akron – who loses to Akron? – and ended up with a blah season despite at win at Mississippi State and yet another trip to a bowl game.
It’s the fourth bowl trip in a row for the Rockets, but it’s just 1-5 in its last six going back to 2016.
Pitt has won two of its last three bowl games but just three of its last ten. However, one was last year’s thriller over UCLA in the Sun, and the two other victims came in other versions of this bowl over MAC teams.
The 2024 Panthers started 7-0, couldn’t handle SMU, and closed with a tough five-game losing streak.
