Be BOLD, or your kids will transfer to Bowling Green.

BOLD Ohio player prediction: Roman Parodie will be an all-MAC first teamer
BOLD Ohio team prediction: Ohio will be top half of the MAC in sacks, top third in tackles for loss, and top quarter in third down defense.
BOLD MAC prediction: Two of the top five highest home attendances by MAC teams will be weeknight games.
BOLD National prediction: Deion Sanders is announced as a P5 head coach by the first bowl game, and it will probably be Florida State, if so.

That Kent State will win their first MACC for the first time since 1972.

Notre Dame will beat Ohio State.

Ohio (only in football) moves to a four team C-USA conference slated for 2027, so they can increase their odds of winning a conference championship.
A proposed temporary move, but most likely a very long-term move (Ohio will never win any conference in football, ever).

P5 conferences are going to start focusing more on money than student athletes.

The first college football game on the moon will be slated for 2046.

We will lose our best running back to a P5 program at the end of the year.

BOLD Ohio player prediction: Bangura's total scrimmage yardage eclipses 1000.

BOLD Ohio team prediction: Finishes last in the MAC East.

BOLD MAC prediction: Eastern Michigan wins the West.

BOLD National prediction: USC wins the PAC 12 and makes the College Football Playoff. The conference convinces the Trojans to stay by offering them a sweetener on their new TV deal, which includes being the exclusive college football program on Amazon Prime.

At least half these bold predictions are wrong.

Here's a few more that will in all likelihood be wrong:

OHIO will pull the shocker of the year and beat Penn State
OHIO will then lose to Iowa State
OHIO will win the MAC East

we beat penn state AND iowa

www.sportsbetting3.com/ncaafb/college-football-betting#pa... has a pretty sweet parlay for both of those.

Throw 10 bucks on for a pretty big return.

BOLD: a large reserve of oil will be found under Peden Stadium this year, thus allowing Ohio to outspend Alabama and Ohio State combined.

BOLD: Tim Albin will return his suit at the end of the season, despite having recently become unemployed.

BOLD: Penn State will send their cheerleaders to suit up for the Ohio game and pull out a last minute victory.

BOLD: Scott Frost will not last the season at Nebraska and will end up being hired by the Bobcats and thus coaching Ohio Football back to the bottom of Divison I football quicker than the offensive juggernaut known as Coach Albin.

another big prediction is that NCAA will propose a 2 conference super league between big 10 and SEC with post season playoffs. more wishful thinking but if there were a relegation promotion aspect would love to see OU push for a promotion berth and join the big guys on merit.

BOLD TEAM PREDICTION: We finish higher than fifth (the MAC coaches have even less faith in us than the media does (https://ohiobobcats.com/news/2022/8/29/mac-announces-2022... )).

BOLD MAC PREDICTION: A MAC team finishes in the top 25 of the CFP poll.

BOLD NATIONAL PREDICTION: Cincy and Notre Dame play for the national championship.

Will LSU coach Brian Kelly, whose prior 2 coaching stops will be playing in this title game, sit down to watch? Or will he be practicing his hip-hop dance moves? Or working on his Cajun accent? Or counting his millions and millions of dollars?

That last prediction is going to bruise some egos, or should it be alter egos, on this board. They might accuse you of "hate speech." Personally, I'd love to see that happen.

In terms of prediction #1, what MAC team do you think most likely to make the top 25? My money would probably be on NIU.

The Huskies have the best chance to make some noise. They have Vandy at home and currently-ranked Kentucky on the road. They go unbeaten in OOC and the door is open for them.

MOFO could too, with Cincy and UK on their schedule. Kent has a real opportunity to make noise, but the schedule's just too tough: Georgia and Oklahoma (both top 5) plus Washington. But if they go 2-2 OOC and run the table in the MAC, who knows. Then there's WMU with ranked MSU, ranked Pitt (who they beat in Pittsburgh last year) at home, and a half-way decent San Jose St team on the road. If they're 3-1 OOC and win the MAC with 10 or 11 wins, could be.

Good, solid analysis.
