2021 MAC Championship: NIU vs. KSU at Ford Field on Dec. 4th at 12pm EST on ESPN NIU and Kent State meetup for the MAC Championship game for the 2nd time. Last matchup between both schools for the MAC title was in 2012 when both teams played an epic barn burner.The champion of the West Division, Northern Illinois (8-4) is making its eighth appearance in the championship game in the last 12 seasons. That's the most appearances by any MAC team. Meanwhile Kent State (7-5), which clinched the East Division on the final day of the regular season, will be making just its second appearance in the title game. The Golden Flashes' only other appearance came in 2012 when they lost to Northern Illinois. KSU was ranked #17 and NIU ranked #21. One of the best games I've seen in person. A great QB match up.
Hope to see another exciting MAC Championship tomorrow at Ford Field, a great NFL venue for MAC players to experience. if NIU loses I can predict CMU will be headed to the Quick lane Bowl 2021. Right now, eight MAC teams including Kent State, Northern Illinois, Toledo, EMU, WMU, Ball State and Miami (Ohio) are bowl eligible. Quick Lane Bowl Bowl Tie-Ins: Big Ten vs. MAC Bowl Projection: No Big Ten team available

Each year I say I'm interested in going to the MAC Championship at Ford Field and I almost always forget. This year I remembered, but I'd really like to go when one of the state schools is there, I think the atmosphere would be a lot better. I hope you're right about Central being in the bowl game, that might be the event I'm looking for.

Set MAC bowls this year:
Dec 17: Bahamas, Middle Tennessee St vs. Toledo Dec 17: Tailgreeter Cure Bowl, Northern Illinois vs. Coastal Carolina Dec 18 : LendingTree Bowl, Eastern Michigan vs. Liberty Dec 21: Idaho Potato, Kent State vs. Wyoming Dec 23: Frisco Football Classic, North Texas vs. Miami (Ohio) Dec 25: Camellia Bowl, Georgia State vs. Ball State Dec 27: Quick Lane, Nevada vs. Western Michigan Dec 31: Arizona, Central Michigan vs. Boise State The second time all 5 Michigan Division I schools are in a Bowl Game the same year. Last time 2019.
I hope the Lions have a scout or two to watch Carson Strong, quarterback for the Nevada Wolf Pack. To bad I'll be watching the game from Florida, I really love his tuffness. Western Michigan better be ready to play defense.
Update: Nevada quarterback Carson Strong, who is weighing whether he'll play in the Wolf Pack's upcoming bowl game, will visit the Los Angeles Rams' team doctor Thursday before making a decision on his bowl availability. Update: Strong will not play instead is preparing for the draft.
