But look at Northern Ill. They are 10-2 and are Ranked Number 24 in the BCS and AP poll.

Northern Illinois is a good ball club. Coach Kill can flat out coach and recruit. I was at Southern Illinois when he was coaching there and he turned the Salukis from a doormat into a perennial powerhouse at the FCS level in a matter of years. Expect Northern Illinois to be good for years to come.
Also, UCF said the MAC wasn't very good when they joined for a few years. All that happened is that UCF got handled week in and week out.
Don't sleep on the MAC.
GO OWLS!!!

Troy beat Bowling Green 30-27 at home, and Ohio knocked off Louisiana 38-31 up north.
Ohio finished 8-4 (6-2) and Bowling Green went 2-10 (1-7) while Troy is 6-5 (5-2) and Louisiana is 3-9 (3-5).
Agree it isn’t the best football to watch, but the bowl games could decide which conference is better this year.

This year Troy is 6-5, and FIU is also 6-5, Only way we have 3 bowl eligible teams is if MTSU beats FIU, which would put the Conference champ at 6-6 and MTSU at 6-6.

And actually Ohio is also one of the top teams in the MAC this year and L-Layfayette hung right with them!
The MAC has 13 teams and a minimum of six (6) of them are VERY weak. I mean look at Western Michigan, a 6-6 team that is bowl eligible - wins over - Nicholls St., Ball St., Akron, Eastern Michigan, Kent State and Bowling Green. Wow, not even close to winning record among them!

So far the Belt is 1-0 in our 3 games vs. the MAC with the MAC teams being about what I felt, slow!
