I apologize if this has been discussed elsewhere. With my eyesight at is is, I haven't kept up on all the threads.


An interesting note from this year's MAC schedule is that Ohio has the only home game vs a "P" team. The league has 23 road games vs "P"s, which won't make it any easier for for the MAC to make a decent showing. Looking over the lest below, there are some possibilities, in addition to Ohio vs. WVU and maybe Rutgers. Buffalo at Minn and MOFO at Rutgers are two. I wouldn't count out BG at Cincy and NIU at Maryland either. And I wouldn't be surprised if either EMU and Toledo catches Kentucky. (Toledo also is at Wash St, but the Cougars aren't a "P" team anymore.)


So, here's this year's MAC vs "P" schedule:

Kent (3): at TxTech; at FSU, at Oklahoma
Ohio (3): at Rutgers; vs WVU; at O$U
Ball State (2): at Purdue; at Auburn
BG (2): at Cincy; at Louisville
CMU (2): at Pitt; at Michigan
UMass (2): at Iowa; at Missouri
MOFO (2): at Wisconsin; at Rutgers
NIU (2): at Maryland; at Miss St
WMU (2): at Michigan St; at Illinois
Akron (1): at Nebraska
Buffalo (1): at Minnesota
EMU (1): at Kentucky
Toledo (1): at Kentucky

There are some slaughterings in there but definitely some winnable games, especially against the bottom half of the Big Ten.

I remind my son (heading to Miss St in 2 weeks) of the blowout loss to Toledo every chance I get, and how that team wasn't even in the MAC championship. I'll root for my kid's school in general, but not against the MAC. Would love to see NIU win that one (even though they are dead to me).

Because they are not in the Big Ten I'm guessing?

I believe that No MAC school would be favored right now but WVU at Ohio probably, I'm guessing, would only be about +2 right now.

I’ll take the Cats over WVU. Hear things are t going great in Morgantown right now.
