From MGoBlog MAC Preview Today .......
Western
The best Directional Michigan MAC Team looks to be Western (sorry Central), as PJ Fleck will start enjoying the fruits of a roster comprised almost entirely by his own relatively highly-rated recruiting classes. The Broncos have continually signed the best classes in the MAC during Fleck’s tenure, and the talent advantage they have should pay dividends yet again – mostly on the back of what should be a powerful and balanced offense. They return All-MAC candidates at quarterback and receiver in Zach Terrell and Corey Davis, and boast a strong running back tandem in Jamauri Bogan and Jarvion Franklin; most of a stable offensive line returns, though the best lineman (LT Willie Beavers) graduated. Western’s defense has worryingly plateaued at mediocre as its offense has improved year-over-year under Fleck – perhaps a bevy of returning starters will see an experience bump. Last year, Western faced Michigan State and Ohio State in non-conference play, and get Northwestern and Illinois this year, which is a considerable upgrade. With an upset or two, WMU could quickly stake a claim as one of the frontrunners for a spot as the Group of 5’s New Year’s Six representative.

Wow. I'm stunned a Big 14 blog actually acknowledges the MAC exists...other than in pay day games.
