Picking the MAC

[g-mann17]

We've all complained about the way the media picks who wins our conference. So let's see what everyone here thinks.

I picked the Zips against Western on the CBS board a while back, and I'm sticking with it. This will be the year Hiller has it over Le"Flavour".

Hey, who picked last year's game? Ball St and Buffalo each have a vote. I see the East race as wide open, there is absoultely no favorite (no preseason poll I've seen has the East Champ at better than 5-3 in conference and I think Phil Steele had a five way tie at 4-4 (maybe he saw the basketball standings and figured football worked the same way?) Anyway, the Zips have just as good a chance this year as anyone, I think they have been underrated so far. In the west, I think WMU has the most complete team and Hiller is pretty much LeFevour's equal and the game is at WMU. So it's Akron and WMU and we know what happens when Akron gets into a MACC against a more highly regarded opponent (historically this tracks at 100% ).

What defensive scheme is Akron playing? Then I can vote.

The "Multiple". It's a new scheme where you put 11 guys on the field at random positions. Sometimes you'll have 2 linemen and 9 DBs or you can stack the box with 4 linemen and 4 LBs, using the same 11 guys.

Wow. If this isn't the most unbiased poll I've ever seen.

Only fair and balanced viewpoints here. Who were the Buffalo homers with their unrealistic predictions of an Eastern title for those guys? Indeed.Go Zips!

Miami.... really...

Where's K e n t? I think it is a little irresponsible to leave them out as we all know the dominating force they are on the field. I mean they are so good that their fans don't even bother to talk about them on their site!

Yeah, I thought about including them in the poll but I thought they would have a better shot at winning the Missouri Valley.

Who else in american football plays the "Multiple"?
