GMAC Bowl

[GP1]

Can CMU end the MAC dryspell? I'm feeling it with this game. I'm feeling it could be the one. I'm feeling it will be worth investing three hours of my time in. I'm feeling the MAC's two year destruction in bowl games will end tonight........Who am I kidding? The only thing I'm feeling right now is my sore ass from sitting at my desk all morning working.Troy 34CMU 24Closer than the score looks.

BGSU 31 - Troy 14CMU 24 - BGSU 10Troy ammassed 45% of BG's total and BG ammased 41% of CMU's total. Indicating that the Troy offense is weaker than the CMU defense and the CMU offense is vastly superior to the Troy defense. I will say...CMU 35 - Troy 10

I'll go with BGSU by 14.

Ok...although I don't believe Troy is the strongest Sun Belt champ I've ever seen, I always have to argue with this sort of logic....A beat BC beat ASo....C would REALLY beat the heck out of BTroy's loss to BG was back in the first game of the season, on the road. They've played plenty of good games to go 9-2 since then, including keeping a November game against Arkansas within 2 scores until near the beginning of the 4th quarter. They also dismantled a 10-3 Middle Tennessee team who went to a bowl game themselves. But I sure hope the MAC champ can help us all look better with a win.

The MAC's top program needed double OT to beat Troy.

What do you mean? Troy is in a top notch bottom of the barrel conference. The MAC is a bottom of the barrel, bottom of the barrel conference.

Well...both leagues are pretty much in the same boat, but I understand your point. I certainly disagreed with those who felt that in some way the MAC champ would be so vastly superior to a Sun Belt champ. Again, Troy isn't the best champ I've ever seen come out of the Sun Belt, but they had plenty of impressive performances this year. However, I was a quite surprised that they made CMUs defense look almost nonexistent in racking up almost 600 yards of offense.

Kangaroo -- I see that you totally ignore Lefeaver's numbers. You've been badmouthing him all year -- how about admitting that the kid had a nice game when it counted?

1 TD. Choked 5 times inside the 30 that meant 4/5 field goals. A crucial interception that put them behind big.Antonio Brown is the person that won the game.

All 3 not bad, but particularly good read by Zemek (even if you don't agree):http://cfn.scout.com/2/935687.htmlOVERALL, MAC PERFORMED well in the games, just came up short. Very close to 3-2 or 4-1. Only game that they really were not competitive in (after 1st half) was Northern Illinois in Canada Bowl.
