Bringing this information here as it's more pertinent. @kreed5120 did the top 5 MAC teams in another thread, but I want to expand on that so we can laugh at Ohio. Akron - 42 Buffalo - 87 Miami OH - 108 Bowling Green - 111 Toledo - 150 Kent - 157 EMU - 170 UMass - 208 NIU - 257 CMU - 285 Ohio - 287(!) WMU - 292 Balls - 340(!) For comparison, if I'm not mistaken, the MAC had 4 teams in the top 200 to end last season. If this trend of 7+ teams in the top 200 continues, look for the MAC to be both very competitive and highly thought of come March (in comparison to previous years). Top 200 Teams by Non P4 + Big East Conference: America East: 1 American: 7 ASUN: 2 A10: 9 (8 are top 100) Big Sky: 7 Big South: 2 Big West: 7 CAA: 7 CUSA: 5 Horizon: 6 Ivy: 4 MAAC: 4 MAC: 7 MEAC: 0 Mountain West: 9 MVC: 8 NEC: 3 OVC: 3 Patriot: 3 SoCon: 3 Southland: 5 Summit: 3 Sun Belt: 6 SWAC: 0 WAC: 4 WCC: 7 The MAC is positioning itself to be in the top half of conferences, which is a huge improvement compared to recent seasons.

Yup, but unlike scumbag Kiffin, he's finishing out the season at Tulane if they make the Playoff (if I'm not mistaken).

Wow. That is much higher than I was expecting. Bart Torvik's NET Predictor had a 40s number on the Zips next to a 60s number - wasn't sure which one they were predicting. Turns out the 40s number was spot on. Keep it going Zips!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing a sad P4 coach after losing to a mid major, let alone Akron.

SLU's goalie got a yellow card during PKs for throwing the Bryant goalie's water bottle over the large screen behind the goal. I personally wasn't impressed with either team, so if SLU lacks mental and physical fortitude, advantage Akron.

Stay focused on this game, win by 20+, then get to the Tulane game where their fan base will be focused on football.

Either a UConn booster wants him, or JoeMo is desperately trying to get out of Akron. Either way, there should be a red carpet rolled out for his departure.

Washington knocks off Stanford. Wow. 2 Big Ten 2 Big East 1 ACC 3 Whatever the Heck Conferences

SLU advances on PKs. Akron will host!

PKs for SLU/Bryant.

Soccer shouldn't be played on turf. The lines should make Bryant ineligible to host anything soccer related.

If Akron hadn't been screwed by the NCAA with the Northwestern game, Zakuani wins the Hermann Trophy that year. Emil last year was inexcusable as well.

Big game today. Al Davis said it best: "Just win baby win."

5th in the country in assists coming into tonight.

Akron shot 65% from the field and 52% from 3 (again). Akron's 3P% is absurd, yes, but their FG efficiency is sustainable. Why? Akron's 2PA are largely aggressive drives or cuts to rhe basket, meaning we're either laying the ball up or dunking the ball. Most teams have a chunk of their 2PAs come from hook shots or bigs trying to get the ball around/over a defender. The only weakness this team has is interior size and I'm not sure too many teams will have the athleticism, size, or talent to limit our versatility.

Balls with 37 pts against Lafayette - in the entire game. Wow.

Milwaukee is a 200+ KenPom team, sure, but Akron is demolishing DI teams like P4s do. This is such an impressive start to the season.

Scary what this team is capable of.

MMK's athleticism and offensive progress this year is fantastic to see.

Whenever Sharron is the floor general, he tries to do too much. He needs to learn to play within himself at all times, not just when there's another guard on the floor to keep him in check. What a night for Amani.

Refs suck. There have been some that we've certainly been dumb on, but the refs have absolutely screwed us this year for playing good defense.

Barre's FT shooting is excellent for a big man.

Camera guy sucks. Getting motion sickness. Up by 25 is ridiculous btw.

3rd worst SOS belongs to Miami OH. That's pathetic.
