I think the team that catches fire in Feb wins the east and west. Buffalo might have one of the best mid major teams currently. They have built this team in two years after the ASU invasion.

IMHO
If you are (at all) worthy of being picked as the preseason favorite to win the MAC
With the preseason (senior) PTOY running the point.
Then playing conference opponents at home shouldn't be viewed as "pressure packed".
And W's should be an expectation.

Buffalo is one of the best mid-majors in the country and Toledo just smoked us in their gym. Sounds pressure packed to me.

Wins may be expected and still be pressure backed especially when that possible POTY is struggling.

Maybe we weren't worthy of the preseason hype.....

This is becoming more evident as each game passes... but look at what MSU is doing... likely the most talented team in the NCAA and they are struggling to get it together.... just have to hit the stride at the right time.
