We do have CMU and Buffalo. And half the teams are MAC teams. 😔 But good news, we're not on the list. 👍

I blame Marty Whims for this.

I had no idea either so I looked it up: Net success rate in college football is an advanced analytics metric that measures a team's offensive success rate minus its defensive success rate, showing which team performed more efficiently on a play-by-down basis. What is "Success Rate"? Before calculating the net version, college football analysts define whether an individual play "succeeds" based on down and distance to keep the chains moving: 1st Down: Gains at least 50% (or 40% in some models) of the yards needed. 2nd Down: Gains at least 70% (or 60%) of the yards needed. 3rd & 4th Down: Gains 100% of the yards needed to get a first down or score a touchdown. How Net Success Rate Works Formula: Offensive Success Rate % – Defensive Success Rate % Meaning: A positive net success rate means your offense gained "success" on a higher percentage of plays than your defense allowed to the opponent. Value: It strips out the "noise" of rare, high-variance plays (like a lucky 80-yard broken tackle touchdown or a freak turnover) to reveal which team actually won the fundamental battle of consistent down-to-down execution. Now I still have no idea. 😂

When the Zips won the National Title in Santa Barbara I met Doc Nash (and sadly didn't know who he was at the time - did get a nice photo with him though). What a game to win on a night honoring him.

First ever over Cornell. 👍

Miraculous win!

Every time I hear Chad Welker say the Cornell goal keepers name it sounds like he's calling him "The Stare".

And back to level. 👍

Great PK from Jack Sullivan!

Going to be a huge call here but man that looked like a handball in the box. Certainly looked like extension away from the body.

That was a fairly weak goal by Cornell. Can't believe the Zips didn't stop. First goal against them this year.

Outstanding. And not surprising.

Terry MaCauley couldn't explain it. Friggin Michigan fans rushing the field after being lucky to beat a MAC team. I hope they finish 0-9 in the Big Ten if that's the best they can do against WMU. 1-8 I guess if they play Rutgers.

What bullshit. Time had expired. Big Ten home cooking.

Not a banner day for Akron sports. Volleyball shutout by Marshall, football thumped by Wake Forest and soccer has a no contest in a game they were leading. 🤬
