The '''2010 GMAC Bowl''', the eleventh edition of the [[college football]] [[bowl game]], was played at [[Ladd–Peebles Stadium]] in [[Mobile, Alabama]], on January 6, 2010, as one of the final games of the [[2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season]]. The game was telecast on [[ESPN]] and matched the [[2009 Central Michigan Chippewas football team|Central Michigan Chippewas]], champions of the [[Mid-American Conference]], against the [[2009 Troy Trojans football team|Troy Trojans]], champions of the [[Sun Belt Conference]]. Central Michigan won in double overtime, 44-41, on a 37-yard field goal by Andrew Aguila, his fifth of the game.

Troy ultimately filled the slot after [[2009 Southern Miss Golden Eagles football team|Southern Miss]] claimed [[Conference USA]]'s slot in the [[2009 New Orleans Bowl]]. Although that game has a guaranteed berth for the Sun Belt champion, the organizers used their prerogative to invite the conference's second-place team, [[2009 Middle Tennessee Blue Raiders football team|Middle Tennessee]], not wishing to repeat its Troy–Southern Miss matchup from [[2008 New Orleans Bowl|2008]]. As a 9-win team, Troy had priority over any 6–6 teams not already tied to specific bowl games.

The 2010 GMAC Bowl, the eleventh edition of the college football bowl game, was played at Ladd–Peebles Stadium in Mobile, Alabama, on January 6, 2010, as one of the final games of the 2009 NCAA Division I FBS football season. The game was telecast on ESPN and matched the Central Michigan Chippewas, champions of the Mid-American Conference, against the Troy Trojans, champions of the Sun Belt Conference. Central Michigan won in double overtime, 44-41, on a 37-yard field goal by Andrew Aguila, his fifth of the game.

The opponent for the MAC team was scheduled to be the ninth selection of a team from the Atlantic Coast Conference. However, the ACC produced only seven bowl-eligible teams in 2009. Therefore, the GMAC Bowl was able to select an at-large team that was bowl eligible and did not have a prior conference tie-in. Many had felt that the invitation would go to Notre Dame, who finished the season at 6-6. After lengthy meetings the Notre Dame administration made the decision that they will not go to a bowl game following the 2009 season. Also, Notre Dame would only have been eligible to fill the slot after all available teams with 7 or more wins had been accommodated. Several sportswriters pointed to the comparatively low payout of the bowl and the potential humiliation if Central Michigan (then the likely opponent) defeated the Irish.[1][2]

Troy ultimately filled the slot after Southern Miss claimed Conference USA's slot in the 2009 New Orleans Bowl. Although that game has a guaranteed berth for the Sun Belt champion, the organizers used their prerogative to invite the conference's second-place team, Middle Tennessee, not wishing to repeat its Troy–Southern Miss matchup from 2008. As a 9-win team, Troy had priority over any 6–6 teams not already tied to specific bowl games.
