MAC Blogger Roundtable, my answers

1. When will Northern Illinois take their first loss, and when will Massachusetts, Miami, and Western Michigan get their first wins? (Or will the Huskies go undefeated and/or one of those teams go winless?)

I don't see any chance of NIU losing before November 13.  Then, they have Ball State and @Toledo, which are obviously the toughest games.  I'm going to say they beat Ball State and lose @Toledo for their first loss.

I think Western and Miami beat UMass for their first win and UMass loses out to go 0 for 2013.

2. Who are your early picks for offensive player of the year, defensive player of the year, special teams player of the year, freshman of the year, and coach of the year?

Offensive:  Keith Wenning
Defensive: Khalil Mack
Special Teams:  Matthew Sims
Coach:  Dave Clawson

3. Since we did our first in-season ranking last week, which teams are most likely to finish well above where we ranked them, and which will finish far below?

Upward mobility award goes to Toledo.
Downward mobility award goes to Ball State.
