Poor Western Michigan. I think they are ranked WAY too low. They should be more like 12 - 15. What the heck was Athlon thinking?

You're thinking of the other list, where they rank schools by their head coach's dancing ability.

Another example of why it's important for MAC teams to not get slaughtered in non- conference games. Our rankings overall get better when our conference gets better (smh @ EMU)

Best is how they ranked WMU's Defensive units among MAC teams: DL 10 LB 8 DB 9. Sound like a MAC Champ to you?

Ha, I missed that. Interesting. I guess they figure no one will be able to stop their offense. They didn't do that much against us last year though.

The hell you say!! Name 11 - 14 coaches who can dance better than our Huskie.

5 teams 112 and above. Great Conference. Why leave.

Don't worry about Eeyore. It's not unusual for him to go into hibernation about this time of year.

He'll be back. And when he does come back he'll be posting like Tigger on Redbull.

Just as disturbing to me is that the top MAC team, according to Athlon, is #69. I do think Athlon does their homework with their previews. Only ranking I'd question is BG being at #97. They should be higher.

Another reason to root for ALL the MAC teams in their OOC games in September.
