...and I just became confident in my concerns about Toledo and Miami being challenges.

What an incredibly in-depth take.  Also, isn't MAC media day today?  If so, wouldn't this weakass effort be more informed and more properly written after today?  Also, if you're gonna say that our OOC sched is weak (Woffy, LaLA), shouldn't you also include the whole of it--as in OUr visit to columbus?!

We play at Ohio State and at Marshall. Two bowl teams from last year. We also play @Temple and against Bowling Green which also reached bowls last year.  Our non-confrence schedule is harder than Michigan's so those the say our non-confrence schedule is weak should think again.  How many of Michigan's non-conference opponnets went to a bowl last year? Ohio State non confrence schedule isn't any harder than ours.  How can they call our schedule weak. We got a top 5 team on the road plus another team coming off a bowl on the road.  Plain Dealer needs to be reminded that we play Ohio State in Columbus.  Not exactly a cake walk for us.  Yeah we might lose that one.  Nice to know they are worried about our BCS computer average.  We haven't had a 10 win season in 42 years and were getting knocked about our weak BCS SOS that might keep us out of the BCS title game. I'll take a 12-1 season and getting shafted by the BCS computers for our weak schedule. We have never won a bowl and haven't won a MAC championship in 42 years and people are worried about our schedule not being tough enough.  Lets go undefeated then we can sit and  hear the media and certain passionate fans tell the world how our weak schedule cost us a BCS bowl.   If were are 13-0 after winning the MAC, then it won't matter who we played because we would have beaten everyone on the schedule.  You go unbeaten and even Hawaii proved you can get a BCS bid. Hawaii played 2 FCS schools that year plus the WAC.

Nevermind the fact that OSU and Michigan go on to play in the Big 10, which you know...had a few bowl teams from last year too.  

OSU plays 6 bowl teams from last year.

Michigan plays 7

We play 4
