Buffalo (1-4) at home will be the easist of the four.

Temple just had a patch of 3 tough games in a row. The MAC is not easy. Our coach has great respect for the MAC.

As for Temple going to the BE, not sure that decision is happening this Sunday. I think the meeting is more of a 'who's staying? who's leaving? and when those questions are answered, then what shape does the conference take? Very fragile landscape for the BE right now.

If UMASS has a $500k exit fee that is peanuts, that is 1/2 an ass whippin against UTenn,Auburn,Bama... Don't want to hear about JMU and those other schools VA/NC schools in the MAC. ECU has great FB program and I would love to have them in our league, but that is NOT happening.

The great thing about the MAC right now is it is perfectly stable with the core 12 teams. In my opinion, whether Temple or UMass stays doesn't really make that much difference for the future of the conference.
