MAC Power Poll Week #7

[Captain Kangaroo]

The MAC “Elite”

#1) NIU: Last week #2: Looking solid on both sides of the ball. Every team’s going to have a letdown over an 11 game regular season…their was UCF, and they still won. They’ll only get better as they get healthier.

#2) Marshall - Last week #1: Looked horrible vs. Can't. Offense has looked bad all season.

#3) BG - Last week #3: Drilled Ball State. Looks like a focused crew. Could boot Marshall out of #2 with a strong showing next week. Omari looks like a drop-in replacement for Josh Harris. BG is improving every week.

The “Middle of the Pack”

#4) Miami - Last week #4: Unimpressive 25-7 win vs. Buffalo…at least by last season’s standards. Not enough to drop them to #5, however.

#5) Toledo - Last week #6. Another big offensive day! Waxed a thusfar overachieving OU squad on ESPN. Early season problems seem far behind.

The “Bottom Rung”

#6) OU - Last week #5. Absolutely manhandled by Toledo. Win over Kentucky keeps them from falling too far.

#7) Zips - Last week #8 – Defense is carrying the Zips!! Turnovers…sacks…what’s up with that? Two conference road wins! At some point, #5 will need to start tossing for 250+. Biggs left, Biggs right, Biggs middle probably is enough to beat Ball State…but not Marshall or Miami.

“Looking to Schedule Cal-Poly or Howard Soon”

#8) Ball State - Last week #7 : Waxed by 30+…again. The week #1 “close call” vs. BC seems like an aberration. They stink…again.

#9) CMU - Last week #10: 42-10 beating this week at the hands of NIU. Beat Can't. Sounds like the Zips?

#10) Buffalo: Last week #10: Pasted George O’Leary’s UCF squad. Held mMiami to 25, which ain’t too bad.

#11) Can't - Last week #11: Up 17-7 at the half vs. Marshall, then panic set in. The textbook example of “A Team that doesn’t Know How to Win.”

#13) EMU: Loss to a 1-AA school…followed by a loss to mighty Idaho. Beats Western Michigan?

#13) UCF - Last week #12: Absolutely annihilated by a woeful Buffalo squad. Loses to the Zips at home. O’Leary cashes another check from the $700K/yr salary. Obviously not all his fault, but how does he cash that check with a straight face?

#14.) Western Michigan - Last week #12. Lost to EMU. I repeat…How the mighty have fallen....

Akron early 10 point favorite against #8 (on your list ) Ball State this week.

Can't wait for the Marshall game !

how does he cash that check with a straight face?

Maybe he has direct deposit so he doesn't have to face the teller

And if I did the quote wrong someone here please tell me how to use that feature. I feel so inadequate....

Sorry to keep you all waiting for my 2 cents.

BG - Last week #3: Drilled Ball State. Looks like a focused crew. Could boot Marshall out of #2 with a strong showing next week.

Let's see who all BG has beaten: SEMO (1-AA), Temple, CMU, Ball State. All of these teams equal

They play a decent MAC team (NIU) and get whipped 34-17. We all know BG can kill the stank butt teams but they haven't shown they can play with the big dogs. They'll be on a 6 game winning streak for Marshall and cocky as heck. RUDE AWAKENING BABY!!!

#5) Toledo - Last week #6. Another big offensive day! Waxed a thusfar overachieving OU squad on ESPN. Early season problems seem far behind.

Yeah, Toledo's playing better but, once again, they have beaten nobody impressive. It's pretty sad when Ohio is your biggest win

Biggs left, Biggs right, Biggs middle probably is enough to beat Ball State…but not Marshall or Miami.

Fear Marshall's DEFENSE!!

10) Buffalo: Last week #10: Pasted George O’Leary’s UCF squad. Held mMiami to 25, which ain’t too bad.

I need Ziprifle's expert assistance on what to expect from Buffalo. Does the Herd have a chance?

Enough said

Hmmmmm, well, I was a bit off last week. Does Marshall have a chance? Well, I'd say NO, if it were the Bills. But, it's the Bulls and I think MU will win this one easily.
