Ohio schools have played in a lot of MAC Championship games that they did not win. Toledo has lost three, Ohio has lost 2 or 3. BG has lost 1. Have I missed any?
Miami to Toledo in 2004 and to CMU in 2007.
Uh, KSU in 2012.
Kent St has football?
Maybe. What do you think?
Archer's really fun to watch when he's playing somebody else.

Remember the days when all of the MAC Championship games were played in Huntington, West Virginia? More recently, CMU and NIU have been the more dominant programs. Toledo has been the most consistant Ohio program, so if there were 1 team I would expect to have more championships without looking back, they would have been it.

It is not fair to include them as they are an outlier. This entire argument would be more fair to the rest of us if we exclude them as they can't and won't ever win a MAC Championship.
