Noticed 4 MAC teams in ESPN's top 10 MID majors, I would say that's pretty darn good. More teams in the MAC definitely deserve bowl games.

Unfortunately Buffalo made #2 on the Bottom 10 list and Kent State and Eastern Michigan are listed as "On the Waiting List".

Five years ago, the list might have been:

1. Kent
2. Akron
3. Ohio U.

You mean more like 8 years ago. In 1997, the Bobs were 8-3 with a victory over Maryland.

8 years ago the Terps were struggling. They used to be the step child to the B Ball team, 8-3 though is a good record.

It's still step-child to the b-ball program and will be always because it is ACC.

Kind of like the MAC, where the best MAC basketball has real national impact and the best MAC football is relegated to the bottom of the bottom tier bowl games.
