I've watched parts of a few of the Sun Belt games over the past several days. Game attendance has varied between ~600-2,500 thus far.   We give the MAC a lot of crap, but let's take a moment

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

Best thing that could've happened for Akron. Groce can now use that as a wake up call if there was ever a chance to be asleep for the Buffalo game.

 

Great for Akron, sad for Cleveland hotels/bars. A lot of Miami fans about to cancel 2 nights of hotel stays and make that sad, silent 4 hour drive to Cincinnati. Perhaps calling their boss and letting them know they can cancel their PTO request for tomorrow.

Really good for clothing companies that make khaki pants though. The amount of crap stains on Sunday as they wait to see if they're in will require all new wardrobes.

This is why nobody believed in a team that was undefeated. Play somebody next year. If they're not too scared of you, of course.

What's hilarious is Steele said they were right on the edge of a Q2/Q3, and most teams wanted Q2 opponents. With their loss today and probable loss in the tourney (if they get in), they'll be right on the edge of Q2/Q3 again lol.

I honestly don't think they'll get in.

If they do, it will most likely be the play-in game in Dayton.

Can anyone honestly say Miami is better than a mid-tier Big Ten or SEC team? I can't, and money, prestige, and power are all tie breakers.

Honestly, if I was their fan base I would view that as a positive. It would pretty much be a home game against a high quality opponent. I would love an opportunity to ser Akron play an Indiana, Texas, Missouri, etc. within an hour drive.

Which is why Miami OH vs. Auburn in Dayton will be the move. Storylines galore there.
