BracketBuster Matchups

[BlueSycamore]

They are announced on Feb. 2nd I think. My guess is we will host either Eastern Illinois (6-10) or Detroit (3-13). Returning the game at Detroit next season would be like playing I.U. again with all of the I.U. rejects sitting out this season after transferring to McCallum and Company?

I still think we will host either Detroit or Eastern Illinois but here is the latest line for line matchup if all factors were equal, which they are not:

After the TV games are set, the remaining games are matched more toward geographic location.

Detroit was on TV the other day, they are not that good at all and I would truly hope we'd win that game, or a game vs. EIU for that matter. I just hope it's a game we don't have to travel too far for the return game in 2 yrs.

We're playing Toledo, not a bad match-up based on records
