If I didn't know better I'd think it was a CFN listing.

Composition of the Bottom 54 as of 6-9-17:

Conference USA with 10
MAC, Mountain West, and Sun Belt each with 9
American with 6
ACC with 4
Big Ten with 3
Big 12 with 2
Independents and Pac-12 with 1 each
SEC with 0

I am a little surprised Western showed up already. I thought the next one might be Miami or Ball State and then Western and then Toledo. I can't believe Miami hasn't been posted yet. they can't be THAT much better than the rest of these other MAC teams, can they?

Miami is deep at almost every position. For the first time in many years Miami has 10 or more very good offensive linemen.

If they're as good as advertised, it's MACC or bust for Miami. Should be a hell of a championship game. Hopefully we'll see you there.

Yes, if Miami is the best from your side, it should be a good game against EMU.

I'd rather EMU play Miami (FL) in a bowl game.

EDIT: On 2nd thought, we couldn't beat Miami (O) last year, bring on the team from Oxford... :)

EMU vs Miami in Detroit would be a rematch of a game played two weeks earlier. I'm hoping for it.

MAC bump

Damn, Luckeyone and I were wrong. We really thought Miami vs EMU.

Well, at least we were 1/2 right...

Actually, I would pick Toledo to win the MAC West, as well, as our friends from Orlando. I see WMU #2 and then things get crazy.

Here's last years Orlando Sentinel rankings for reference:
#124 Miami
#110 Eastern Michigan
#107 Kent State
#104 Ball State
#100 Akron
#92 Buffalo
#61 Ohio
#53 Bowling Green
#50 Northern Illinois
#48 Toledo
#46 Central Michigan
#44 Western Michigan

So last pre-season, half the MAC was ranked in the top half of FBS. This year, at least 10 teams are in the bottom half. Maybe they are as wrong as they were last year.

Athens is going to be rocking for that one, even on a Tuesday. So will Oxford when we play UC for homecoming, they moved the game back to 8 PM so it could get on TV with the Cincy Fox affiliate, we could have the best atmosphere at Yager for that one since Big Ben.

Good to see Miami back (or at least we think so).

A good Miami team is good for the MAC.
