That will hurt UT in the computers scraping past the MAC's last ranked team.

That should not be how they rank teams. When you are good, every week is like a bowl game for the other team, while the good team has to defend as hard as they can while wearing themselves down in defense every week.

As the year goes on, UT and WMU have to fight harder and harder against opponents that are throwing everything they have at them in order to get just one positive win for the season. I have always thought that it is easier to get the late season blowout victory in a conference when your are the third or forth best team in that conference.

That said , championship teams are not jugged by margin of victory in the games they play, but by winning the game in the end. Winners win!...except of course when power conference refs cheat for the big boys- both UT and WMU have been victims of well documented and proven P4 refs cheating and stealing their victory and giving it to the big boys.

The whole basis for UT and WMU being the top teams in the MAC over Ohio is because of that margin of victory.

Touche. On the bright side Toledos DE Andrew Zock has 12 more negative tackles than anyone in the nation, more forced fumbles than anyone and is 2nd in sacks nationally. He is breaking Khalil Mack stats everywhere except INTs but hes made up for it in turnovers on the ground. Thats the fun part of watching a close game when the offense has a stinker. Only 2 offensive bad games for the Rockets on the year. Walendczak is back next week and we had 2 100 yard rushers AGAIN from Miller and Ison. I wouldn't overlook UT based on SAC being the only real travel UT has had all season with a funky gameweek. 2 hours to MSU. 2.75 to BSU. 45 minutes to Ypsi was a blessing until November.

Point heard tho as Ohio drilled Sac State.

Watching all season I don't see any evidence that Ohio is better than Toledo or WMU or anything like that but the assumption of relative strength is largely pinned through margin of victory.

That first Saturday where there are no MAC games to follow always stings a bit. It’s like, oh yeah, that’s Tuesday night after dark.

True. But I do get more done around the house. More time to rake the leaves.
