Miami is 35.5. EKU played EMU really close last week and is getting votes in the 1AA poll this week. Toledo is most likely among MAC teams to go to 2-0, maybe NIU will get there as well; Tulsa has been only so-so lately. Ohio, Akron, EMU, MOFO, Buffalo and CMU should join the WMU-BSU winner at 1-1. WMU-BSU loser, Kent and maybe BG go to 0-2 We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

I’m sorry but Ohio was never going to win that game today. Way too much talent difference. It could have been 70-7 if they wanted to do that.

If you look at how the MAC is doing as a Conference NO team has stepped up to the plate. It is not about today's loss, just look at how the MAC overall has done in this short season and how it did last year. I am sitting here watching App State up on Texas A&M 7-0 in the second quarter. Does that mean App State will win? Probably not but at least they play P-5 teams tight. Look at what they did with North Carolina last week. It is as if the MAC has no expectations other than to be the annual bottom feeder of all FBS.

It is all about recruiting playmakers. This conference does not get enough playmakers anymore.

The midweek exposure is as good as it gets for a smaller program. Better than buried at the bottom of P5 conference and rarely on. No question the program is struggling and the MAC is not good but a strong MAC is a MAC Ohio isn't winning. Thus I don't understand the complaint of a weak MAC because it opens the door for a program to take it over. A different way of looking at it.

Can't argue what you are saying here but could some of those factors like name, image and likeness increase the gap WITHIN the MAC? My guess would be yes with all the possible opportunities.
