Random Bronco FB and BB National Rankings Question...
Over the past 50 years, other than the Broncos, have any other MAC teams had BOTH a Top-15 nationally ranked college FB team (2016) and a Top-10 nationally ranked College BB team (1975-1976)? Maybe Miami (OH)?,Toledo? I feel extremely lucky to have followed both squads closely. For as much as we beat our Bronco teams up from time to time, that’s quite a unique feat for any MAC or any other “mid-major” program. Random summertime thought...

The answer to your question is no.

On a somewhat related topic our 1964-65 men's cross country teams are only MAC Major College-University Division (D-I) national champions, and our 1955 baseball team was first of two MAC schools to date to reach CWS championship game.

Let's not forget that Hockey finished in the top 10 in 2016 as well.
