I love it, bring it on... WMU will be toast at Huskie Stadium, Toledo will be tough, I imagine they are sick of being beaten by the Huskies. I suspect Toledo is slowly realizing NIU could actually be a rival now. If they don't, then they must enjoy getting their ass beat for years...

I don't even care that Toledo's ranked in front of us. That's happened 3 times in the last 5 years and guess what, NIU won the MAC every time.

It's the fact that they're being picked third a year after they won the MAC and they haven't lost the head coach or the QB.

Somebody picked CMU to win the MAC?!?

Also, I love it that we're picked third.

It's a yearly thing with the doofuses in the MAC, and I hope it never changes.

They figure eventually they will be right, even if they end up wrong the vast majority of the time.

I don't either. Because the two times they did pick NIU to win the MAC West (2010 & 2013), NIU lost in the MACC.

These are most likely the same goofs who pick the Cubs over the Cardinals. They vote based on how cute and tight the players arses are.

By pure chance you'd think they'd be right every 100 or so years. 05-mafia

Two quick observations from the media poll:

1. No one picked a team from the East to win the MAC championship.

2. NIU received 4 first place votes but yet they received 6 votes to win the MAC championship!?!

Remember, this is the MAC voting. Anything is possible! One of the many reasons the MAC is the butthole of college sports.

I'm surprised with WMU being picked 2nd, considering all the FleckLove out there.

Fleck will never approach the MAC's bone for Toledo. The worst thing for the MAC would be for NIU to continue to win conference championships. I mean....a team from ILLINOIS? Eewwww!!

No, that's "Illinoyz," as game officials from Ohio say. Or "Northern Iowa," as other game officials say.

It must be due to Toledo consistently having the best recruiting class in the MAC over the last ten years. 03-wink
