GP1 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Everyone needs to go take a look at this web page. It should be titled DollarGeneralonLine.com. Two things stand out.First, there is a good chance that 4....maybe 5 teams of the 13 will finish the season with winning records (.500 or above). That's just plain bad.Second, if Miami loses to OU this week, they limp into the MACC with a 6-6 record. If they lose the MACC, they don't go bowling. Is there another conference out there where the runner up played itself out of a bowl by making it to the conference championship and then losing? Only in the MAC.........

Only in the MAC.........You're being a little hard on the MAC (although it is possible only one team will finish with an overall winning record - that would be bad). In general the MAC OOC schedules were not easy - would you rather have played our OOC or OSU's? And the MAC did at least get one signature scalp, WMU's upset of Iowa (at Iowa). Lets see, we beat WMU who beat Iowa who beat Illinois who beat OSU. We could have won the Big Ten if it wasn't for that sticky loss directly against OSU. At least the Sun Belt is worse than us, they have only one winning record and the potential for only two. The WAC has two very good teams, everyone else is mediocre. Conf USA has a couple good teams and not much else. All the non-BCS conferences struggle at some point.We're a part of it, we've never been more than mediocre in the conference. Even the year we won, we were only 5-3. I'm still hopeful, but 2005 raised our expectations quickly. I think that's good, but realistically we still are in about the same boat we were in when we joined the MAC. Next year and 2009 are going to be critical years to decide if we step up or step back.

Nice work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Kangaroo Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 And for the first time that I can ever remember there are no MAC teams listed in ESPN's "Bottom 10".and Notre Dame is... who'd a thunk it?Sometimes they place a BCS team there as a joke. Like when Michigan lost to Appalachian State. Notre Dame really is one of the 10 worst teams in the nation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
