I think we have an OUTSTANDING defense, and you know the famous saying Defense wins championships!!!Harvey - you are the man! And is it me or do we seem to move the ball better when we are in a hurry up offense?! NIU last year, end of the Motor City Bowl Game and now NCState!!I have no idea which teams are the teams to beat, is BGSU really that bad? Is Miami and Central Michigan really good and just had a bad start? Buffalo being competitive, and OU...OU beating NIU man what is up? How do you have a tailback like Wolfe and lose to OU?If I had to rate teams right now I think I would go with.... 1. Akron - Defending champs with a solid defense and an offense that is showing it can move the ball on anyone when it doesn't make silly mistakes..(see number holding penalties.)2. Western Michigan - we know they are good but are they 21 points better than Toledo?3. Central Michigan - do let the record fool you they have played to top 20 teams and was in both games and should have won the first one against Boston College.4. Miami of Ohio - see above comments same applies here they just took Purdue to the wire.5. Ball State - Losing to Indiana by 1 point looks like they are trying to build off of lasts years success.6.OU - Way to beat last years MAC runner up Maybe just Maybe Solich (sp?) got them moving in the right direction.7. NIU - Maybe playing Ohio State took something out of them. Should they be ranked higher maybe..maybe not! 8.Toledo - After a great showing against Iowa State how are you gonna get your "ears kicked in" by Western Michigan.9. BGSU - you have yet to show us anything10.Buffalo - I am not sold yet they are good, cause we all didn't thing BGSU was that good anyway11.Eastern Michigan - not good but they are better than Can't12.Can't - even though they played Army tough that still isn't a quality opponent, that was a pillow fight!
