Ryno aka Menace Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Right now buffalo is beating BGSU 27 to 20, Northern Ill is losing to Ohio, Miami of Ohio taking Purdue to the wire, and Ball State is beating Indiana 14-0 in the first quarter. Don't be fooled ladies and gentleman Central Michigan is good. It will be interesting to see just how good certain teams are in the MAC!

ZachTheZip Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The MAC is definetly going to have an interesting year, to say the least. This night alone may come back to screw somebody in a tie-breaker at the end of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipsbandman Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 NC State may not be the most impressive BCS team, and Penn State, as Paterno would say, may have gotten their "ears kicked in" today, but it has to give us hope that the MAC is definitely up for grabs this year. The defense that we have can shut some of these schools down cold. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno aka Menace Posted September 10, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 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!

msopher Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 The coaching staff and players were looking ahead to Kansas, although they'll never admit it.Such a disappointment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zipboy Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Good post Ryno. Here is my MAC power poll week 21. Akron - I have been waiting to put us here since forever. Our first signature win. Top 25 ranking is there for the taking.2. Ohio - Wow, what a shocker. Maybe they are actually decent. Nov 16th looms larger than I thought.3. WMU - Another shocker. I am glad we have them at home.4. Miami - Too bad Jared missed the chip shot to win it. A win over the big 10 is always nice. We still better beat those mothers.5. CMU - Didn't see the game, just the score. This may be our toughest game next to at Toledo. No let down, we win going away. 2-1 is a lot better than 1-2 heading into North Texas.6. Toledo - My jaw dropped on this one.7. NIU - What happened?8. Ball - Should have won9. BG - Can you name 5 junior highs in Ohio with a worse kicking game?10. Buffalo - More points in one game than all of last season?11. Can't - They almost won12. EMU - They did not almost win Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UADavid Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 8.Toledo - After a great showing against Iowa State how are you gonna get your "ears kicked in" by Western Michigan.The coaching staff and players were looking ahead to Kansas, although they'll never admit it.I'm sure WMU had nothing to do with it. The same thing happened to NC St. HiWay58OIC3921 Postsuser infoedit post stop bitching about the game, we lost to fucking Akron, we should go bury our heads in the ground and not play another game for the rest of the season. who cares about any of the calls IT WAS FUCKING AKRON FOR CHRISTS SAKE we should have destroyed themi laugh at and pity the football team, wake forest is going to rock our faces off :o[Edited on September 9, 2006 at 4:58 PM. Reason : was more of a "shitty team" will own us comment, but to be "correct" i added wake forest] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbyake Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Toledo gave WMU the game, look at WMU stats. I think they barely had more than 100 total yards in offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zipsrifle Posted September 11, 2006 Report Share Posted September 11, 2006 1. Akron - I have been waiting to put us here since forever. Our first signature win. Top 25 ranking is there for the taking.Man, I want what you're smoking! Remember, PSU beat us soundly! They are ranked #25 in the AP and NOT RANKED in USA Today.
