So, the MAC media has assembled in Ford Field for media day, and the teams have sent players and coaches to the meeting, loaded with cliches and bromides. Keep in mind: we just have to stay healthy and get better every week.
So there.
The MAC media does their predictions...last year, I schooled the collective minds of the MAC MSM, but who's counting.
BG was picked to be fourth, which I actually think shows a combination of faith in our coaching and a lack of faith in Miami, Buffalo and Akron. I've been pointing to our back to back road games against OU and Temple, and as you can see here, those are going to be tough weeks. Temple is the odds on favorite to win the conference title, and I would expect that is what I will predict as well.
In the West, NIU is picked to win the division, though it appears possible that the two best teams in the MAC might be in the East this year.
Anyway, more is coming from MAC Media Day, and we'll be tracking it. You can, of course, watch it live on the Internet.
