I'd think the 2003 BGSU (#23) vs. NIU (#12) football game, complete with ESPN Game Day, was probably the biggest MAC sports tilt of all time? Certainly the most-hyped.

Yes, this is the likely correct answer. Especially once you consider this is football so it automatically attracts 10x the number of eyeballs compared to basketball.

He was going to be my vote but he didn't meet the age requirement.

And the Zips would not be getting nearly the attention if they were having the season they were having and Miami was just having an average season. I would think the MAC would be happy to have Miami lose the final and potentially get two teams in. Historic seasons fir conferences like the MAC don't come along all that often. BTW, no matter what happens on Friday the Zips conference record over the last 2 years will be better than Miami's.

I think this is great. I hope they go undefeated and we take them out for 2 bids. I hope they keep Steele and we keep progressing, and UMass joins that tier with Kent, Toledo and OU right behind. The wheels are in place for a very good mid major conference with multiple bids, if the schools invest and keep these coaches..
