CollegeFootballNews.com Top 128 (how they will End Up at Season's End):
#39. Western Michigan
(What’s Going To Happen? The worst team in the college football rankings when P.J. Fleck first started, now the Broncos could be just good enough to go 12-0 if they can beat Northwestern and Illinois on the road in the first three weeks. They’ll have to settle for a MAC championship.)
#59. Northern Illinois
(What’s Going To Happen? 8-4. There will come a day when the Huskies don’t win the West and play for the MAC title. That’s this year, but they’ll still be terrific after a rough start. The October 8th game at Western Michigan will be the MAC championship – NIU will play well and lose.)
#65. Toledo
(What’s Going To Happen? 8-4. The running game will be as strong as ever under the new head coach, but the rest of the MAC West is too good. Unfortunately, the Rockets have to go on the road to face Northern Illinois and Western Michigan. They’ll lose both November showdowns.)
#68. Ohio
#84. Bowling Green
#85. Central Michigan
