Based on what I've seen from around the league, the two projected MAC favorites, Akron and Ohio, look to have the weakest non-conference schedules.
Miami, Toledo, Kent and several others have at least two games vs. teams from power conferences; Miami, Michigan-Indiana; Toledo, Houston-Purdue, Kent, Alabama-Auburn.
Ohio and Akron, at least to this point - from what I've seen - don't have any power conference (B10, B12, SEC, ACC) teams on their schedules. Lots of solid mid-majors, however.
Let's not fool ourselves. If Miami, UT and Kent can get those games the mantra - 'nobody wants to play us' - is a little weak. If you can go to St. Mary's for a buy game, you can go to B10, B12, ACC, SEC for a buy game. Just saying.
Still pick Zips as MAC favorites.
