As I mentioned, Kent has seen a major uptick in recruiting and I wouldn't be surprised to see a decent jump in year two of the current coaching regime. We needed a last minute touchdown to pull out a hard fought win against them last season. Will they win any of those p5 games? probably not, but Buffalo and Miami are breaking in new QBs and Buffalo lost a ton of skill players, BG and Akron with new coaching staffs. Kent is not in a bad position to make some noise this year in the East.
Kent St's (ASU, Wisc, Auburn) and Miami's (Iowa, Cincy, OSU) OOC schedules mean that we start most likely 2 games ahead of both of them going into MAC play.
Non-conference games do not count in the MAC standings. Slates are wiped clean once conference play begins. Hence the reason so many refer to the OOC schedule as the preseason.

I think he was suggesting that such an aggressive schedule takes a toll on their roster, putting players on the injured list etc. that may result in losses down the road due to player availability.

It’s pretty clear he doesn’t understand how the standings work.

It's the quote, "going into MAC play" that made me think he believed that OOC games count in the standings.
