FYI CMU will be without our top WR for the next month, Corey Willis.

Also, thinking about maybe picking Colgate over Buffalo. They are 1-1 with a win over #23 Cal Poly and close loss to #9 Richmond. Interesting matchup for UB.

I thought about it as well. Buffalo has a history of struggling against FCS teams.

It seems like every UB coach has one crushing home loss to an FCS opponent that kills the season. Then they come back the following year(s) and correct it. In 2016 Leipold suffered his loss to Albany. Even though Colgate looks to be pretty tough, I do believe they take care of business this year with Albany still fresh in their minds and a much better D than last season.

RE: 2017 MAC Football Pick 'Em -- Week 3
Another week with some favorable match-ups. I had a hard time with Iowa St-Akron, Kent St-Marshall, and Tulsa-Toledo.

Kansas @ Ohio
I'll take Ohio, even after that dismal game vs Purdue. Kansas is that bad.

Iowa St @ Akron
I think Iowa St's on the upswing and Akron's on the downswing.

Northern Illinois @ Nebraska
I'll go with the Big 10, sadly.

Tennessee Tech @ Ball St
BSU's looked good enough to beat an FCS team

Central Michigan @ Syracuse
I think CMU gets another victory over a bad P5 team

Colgate @ Buffalo
Should be a good game, unfortunately

Kent St @ Marshall

Bowling Green @ Northwestern
Northwestern big

Idaho@ Western Michigan
I think people are too quick to dismiss Idaho due to them dropping down to FCS next year.

Tulsa @ Toledo
Tulsa's really good, but I think if Toledo really is the MAC Champion, they beat Tulsa at Toledo.

Cincinnati @ Miami
Rivalry game. Cincinnati's horrible. Keep in mind Cinci won by just a TD at Cinci last year.

Kent State @ Marshall

Game of the week: Tulsa @ Toledo

Kansas @ Ohio - Someone said OU losing to Purdue was embarrassing; no, losing to KU would be embarrassing.
Iowa State @ Akron
Northern Illinois @ Nebraska
Tennessee Tech @ Ball State
Central Michigan @ Syracuse
Colgate @ Buffalo
Kent State @ Marshall
Tulsa @ Toledo
Idaho @ Western Michigan
Bowling Green @ Northwestern
Cincinnati @ Miami - This is the year we finally get those bastards.

Are you really taking Idaho? Any thoughts on their 30 point loss to UNLV at home last week?

CMU would be the biggest conundrum here.

Does "Rhode Island" CMU or "Kansas" CMU show up?

What if they're the same CMU but KU just sucks that much.

Since week one, we revamped our offensive line, and our QB stopped missing open receivers, so I'm inclined to think we played better. For one thing, there was only one bad snap from our new Center, rather than at least three last week.
