How is this so? You could move up to FBS, go undefeated and still not have a chance at a National Championship. (See Houston this year.) I understand the reasons for wanting to go to FBS, but I don't believe "control over our own destiny" is one you can say with a straight face.

#1 The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl receives the first choice of MAC teams, though it is not required to take the MAC champion (against the 8th pick from the Big Ten)
#2 The GoDaddy.com Bowl receives the second choice of MAC teams (against 2nd pick from the Sun Belt)
#3 The Famous Idaho Potato Bowl receives the third choice of MAC teams (against the 2nd pick from the WAC)

You are correct. Lets say you were in the MAC and finished with a similar record... You could be (if fortunate enough to be selected) in line for one of these fine bowls:#1 The Little Caesars Pizza Bowl receives the first choice of MAC teams, though it is not required to take the MAC champion (against the 8th pick from the Big Ten)
#2 The GoDaddy.com Bowl receives the second choice of MAC teams (against 2nd pick from the Sun Belt)
