Secret To MAC Bowl Eligibility Lies Within The Alphabet

So I think I've stumbled onto something here. This could become a Dan Brown novel. Put the MAC teams into alphabetical order:

Akron: not bowl eligible
Ball State: not bowl eligible
Bowling Green: not bowl eligible
Buffalo: not bowl eligible
Central Michigan: not bowl eligible
Eastern Michigan: not bowl eligible
Kent State: not bowl eligible

Miami: bowl eligible
Northern Illinois: bowl eligible
Ohio: bowl eligible
Temple: bowl eligible
Toledo: bowl eligible
Western Michigan: bowl eligible

This means something. What that something is, I cannot confirm at this time. But rest assured, adequate research will occur with Hustle Belt HQ's extensive battalion of sports interns to find the answer. Stay tuned.
