Football Note--ALL Mac games will now count, apparently

As the next chapter in the MAC's ongoing efforts to balance the fact we have divisions with different numbers of teams in them, the MAC has apparently decided to count ALL games in the MAC standings. This, via a post in ay-ziggy-zoomba.com.

We don't play Temple this year, but they are in our division. So, things had to be fixed. I assume that everyone will scurry to the schedules to see WHO each team plays in their cross over games, which will make a huge difference to the standings.

I don't have the energy to analyze the whole league, but it will not be easy for BG. We have Eastern at home (OK, that's not what I am talking about), but our other cross-over games are at NIU and at UT. And even though both of those programs were down last year, and NIU is getting a new coach, those games are still on the road in places that are typically tough to win in.

But, you know, you want to win a championship, you gotta meet some challenges.
