http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MAC_Championship_Game
- MAC has been ranked more times than CUSA and AAC teams
- MAC has beaten more ranked teams than CUSA and AAC teams
- MAC has been in a BCS bowl and CUSA never
- MAC has twice had both teams in the Championship game ranked, CUSA only once.
- How was that Championship Game attendance in Tulsa this year? Oh yeah, we beat you there too....
We beat more teams in one day in 2003, then CUSA does in an entire season or two.
Sept, 20, 2003:
Marshall (over No. 6 Kansas State in Manhattan), Northern Illinois (over No. 21 Alabama in Tuscaloosa) and Toledo (over No. 9 Pittsburgh at home).
