Haters gonna hate. Really baffles me why you guys want to hate on a conference based in your own state

It's easy, because the MAC is bad.

Loving it! Takes the sting out of an otherwise disappointing season.

I have talked about how the MAC has sold themselves very well to the midwest via espn. They have quite a few midweek games on nationally and I think that helps them get some of those second level great players who might have went to a bigger college and just been a backup.

The MAC coaches/recruiters have a great tool in getting these players now by showing them how MAC games are shown nationally on ESPN. I think that helps get some kids and also puts them in the forefront of sponsors minds a little bit come bowl time may help as well.

I know a local kid getting recruited by MAC schools has been made this to his attention, from what I am told at least, and how his former teammate has played on ESPN a number of times already at a rival mac school.



I havent looked but are the MAC teams favored in any of their bowl games? No mid major conference is gonna be deep enough to have 7 teams make it and have a good winning percentage.

Ohio's 45 points ties the scoring record for one team in the Independence Bowl, and they have 14:52 to add to it.

D2 is 24 (should be 32)
D3 is 32

At least 16 team, more like 24 based upon the above.
To add onto my post, do you see the crowd for this FCS game? Imagine this being the higher profile schools.

No. There are currently 2 football games on right now that I would rather watch than FCS

Can't believe a MAC powerhouse lost to Ark st. Lulz.
