Believing the hype in Wyoming's rejuvenated offense, or is it the elevation getting to the Huskies, or both?

Sorry, I was in a groove highlighting the home team. NIU wins by 21 or more.

Yes, but it might be because we join a D2 conference.

Well let's see we have two football teams this year that are among the top teams considered to make a run at a big bowl, have a basketball conference that was the 2nd best non power conference in the land and 11th nationally out of the 30 conferences. I'd say we are doing pretty damn good as a conference. The only thing one can argue about is the front office doing everything it can to block progress. Despite this, a history of outstanding coaches in this conference has brought tremendous success.

So the MAC was better than at least all but one of these basketball conferences: MWC, Big East, AAC, Atlantic 10, The Valley?
What schools have a chance at a big bowl this year? WMU & Toledo? NIUs non conference isn't good enough for access bowl, ask Marshall a few years back. ****, even Toledos isn't good enough. BYU counts as a P5 but that's it. Maybe CMU with UVA and Okie State.

Yes Toledo and wmu. Any MAC team can make an access bowl going undefeated though. In basketball there are more non mid majors. For example big east is considered power conference

RE: MAC Week 1
I will get this thread back on track...
I think most MAC games will go as expected. WMU could definitely beat NW, but beating a B1G team on the road is never easy. BGSU will probably get stomped by OSU.
Let's hope our Huskies come out strong and are ready for this year's tough OOC schedule.
