Toledo is in a class by its self in the MAC (Many of us are not surprised), but the other 11 teams are beatable* (that's not a prediction but a statement that we could and should be competitive in those other games).

* Actually two WERE BEATEN.

BTW, I predicted a 5 - 7 record because I thought the schedule was much tougher than last year. Lot of 50 - 50 games this year. Games which could go either way (thinking of games like Ohio, Army, NIU, CMU, etc.) and some we have a chance to win like KY and WMU.

Schedule still the toughest in the MAC. And honestly, I don't think Toledo is all that much better than the other top 3 or 4 MAC teams. They aren't far and away better than the rest of the MAC, like WMU was last year.

I keep saying they're going to lose to Tulsa this weekend, so we'll find out quickly if my hunch is right or wrong.

We have GOT to beat Ohio & Army, since Kentucky, Toledo, and WMU are also part of the schedule over the next 5 games.
