Actually, they just released a slew of MAC team previews. Lots of information here, including a depth chart, but there are some glaring omissions. NO mention of Travis Carrie or Ryan Boykin. I'm also not ready to put Josh Kristoff and Daz Patterson at the 6th and 7th best players on the team, respectively.

Shaw omitted too.

I'm surprised CFN remembered us. They pretty much suck so far as MAC coverage is concerned

Besides the things pointed out above, I noticed a few things.

...Brandon Atwell and Tim Edmond should be ready to shine on the outside now that the gigs are theirs...

And here I thought Edmond had moved to running back. I really don't know who will end up starting at LB after fall camp.

It’ll be a fight for the job on the other side with 6-5, 313-pound junior Bryce Dietz back after getting the start throughout last year. However, 6-6, 298-pound senior Ryan McGrath is a versatile option

Hmm. This is pretty much backwards, as McGrath is the returning starter back after injury.

Usually their off-season depth chart is pretty close. I have my doubts about this one. I don't expect to see Max Coracan and Ian Dixon in the top 6 receivers, for example, but rather expect to see Mario Dovell and Sebastian Smith in that group. Ah well, it will all shake out differently after fall camp anyway. It should be a good season.

Some inaccuracies, yes.  But how nice is it to read some pretty in-depth on your OHIO FOOTBALL?!

I trust the L.C. path that the O-line will be solid given the path of continuous development.  That said, all we need is some play-making from the front seven on defense.  All-LMAC stuff such as we haven't had lately.  Give me two difference makers from the d-line and/or 'backers and I think the year could be fun.

My only comment with this article centers around the big point made around us loosing 4 out of the last 5 games without a mention of our huge injury situation.
This miss in an article such as this demonstrates that this reporter did not do his research.

The depth chart in the media guide pretty much makes it clear that the scout.com one is totally bogus. For example, the top 7 wide receivers are Matt Waters, Landon Smith, Jordan Reid, Donte Foster, Sebastian Smith, Mario Dovell, and Chase Cochran. Scout.com included Max Corcoran and Ian Dixon, and left out Sebastian Smith, Mario Dovell, and Jordan Reid.

Some Other differences:
Mike McQueen is still at LT, not RT
Mike Smith has moved to Center and will battle Powell for the starting job.
Troy Watson is now the backup RT (where did Bryce Dietz go)
Brandon Purdum is the sarter at DT, and isn't on the Scout depth chart at all
Kendric Smith is projected as a starter at DE
At LB, Media guide has Moore at WLB, Russell at MLB, and Grady at SLB, while scout has Edmond and Atwell starting.
At CB Media guide has Carrie and Shaw starting, while neither is on the scout.com depth chart

Dietz injured and career likely over per Arkley.

Ohh, that sucks. He's been solid, and I was looking for him to start next year.  I also see from his tweets that Tate Leavitt didn't qualify.
