Missouri is not good, and Toledo can definitely win this game.

unfortunately we will never know how good Marshall is with that schedule.
Yeah a lot of people seem to give them the benefit of the doubt just because they seem to be the most likely to go undefeated. They will have to dominate their conference to convince everyone.

To be fair, I think UCF and BYU should have to lose at least twice before an undefeated Marshall got consideration.

I agree. Marshall doesn't play one P5 team this season I believe, which is some BS. I will say I like how the poll has NIU quite higher than Toledo, rightfully so.

RE: MAC Power Rankings Week 1
I thought Marshall would be solid, the schedule certainly will inflate any thoughts of how good they are.
However, if they play like they did vs. Miami they will not go undefeated. Miami is bad, and they were in that bad boy.
I also don't think Mizzou will be very good this year. They lost Beckham-Green, Ealy, their QB (yes, Maul has experience), and Sam.
Those four were their best players,they definitely take a drop. That being said, they still beat Toledo.

Yes, I found a place in Grapevine. Move in on Thursday, for now the wife and I are at my company apartment in Dallas. Guess I need to change my username now that I no longer live up north haha.

Nice! Close to the airport. With everyone down here, we should do one of the weeknight games at TopGolf. Probably have to be at the Colony location, I think I live the furthest south from the sounds of it, but the colony isn't that hard to get to.
Definitely need at least one watch party.

Good luck with move to Grapevine. I like that town. I currently live across the lake Flower Mound, but in the process of relocating to the east for a family concern. Hopefully I can meet a few of you guys before I move.

There are like 1,100 or so. There was talk of a watch party on here as well as. LinkedIn niu north texas alum page.
I'd like to do it, but I'm getting my wisdom teeth out a few days before, I may be out of commission and staying home.

Yes...reports from camp are that mizzou and Mary Mauk have looked subpar.
This could be a huge weekend for the Mac...NIU, Toledo & Akron all have a legit shot of winning IMO.

I would not call it a vendetta but they certainly want a new power in the MAC , other than NIU.

RE: MAC Power Rankings Week 1
It's far more likely Toldeo is ranked higher than NIU because they have a definitive starting QB. One who transferred from Alabama.

Toledo's stock could really shoot up this week, they have an ideal situation. A BCS team at home, a team that's recent 1-year history is much more solid than what they currently are probably. A win would provide huge bang for the buck. I could see UT winning this game decisively. Too bad I wont get to see this game with the NU/NIU game going on.

Toledo's biggest fan right here! You kill me. It shouldn't be too bad that you will miss this game because you will be enjoying Huskie football.
