ZachTheZip Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 I've been hearing some rumors going around that aren't all that good in regards to how we will finish in the MAC this year.Remember, these are just RUMORS, but I have seen them from a few different sources.Phil Steele's rumored picks:MAC East 1. Bowling Green 2. Miami 3. Can't State 4-t. Buffalo 4-t. Temple 6-t Ohio 6-t Akron MAC West 1. Central Michigan 2. Western Michigan 3. Ball State 4. Northern Illinois 5. Toledo 6. Eastern MichiganAthlon's rumored picks:MAC East 1. Miami 2. Bowling Green 3. Buffalo 4. Can't State 5. Temple 6. Ohio 7. Akron MAC West 1. Central Michigan 2. Ball State 3. Western Michigan 4. Northern Illinois 5. Toledo 6. Eastern MichiganAthlon's rumored preseason rankings:62 – CMU 75 - BSU 82 - WMU 88 - MU 89 – BG 92 – UB 94 – Can't State 97 – NIU 101 – TU 103 – UT 110 – OU 112 – EMU 113 – UALindy's rumored picks:MAC East 1. Miami 2. Can't State 3. Bowling Green 4. Akron 5. Ohio 6. Temple 7. Buffalo MAC West 1. Central Michigan 2. Ball State 3. Toledo 4. Northern Illinois 5. Western Michigan 6. Eastern MichiganNeedless to say, if ANY of these predictions comes true, we will likely see a new head coach to open our new stadium. Sorry JD, but finishing 6th in the East last year was bad enough. Repeat that, and you're out of here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue & Gold Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 If we once again see QB play like we did last year then those rankings are generous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryno aka Menace Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 If we once again see QB play like we did last year then those rankings are generous!OUCH! cold but true.....usually a QB's performance improves greatly from year 1 to year 2, let's hope we follow that trend.

Remember, this was just a rumor, but I must conclude that things are looking really good for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Kangaroo Posted May 30, 2008 Report Share Posted May 30, 2008 Steele picked K.e.n.t. State to win the MAC last year...and they went 3-9.There's no way we finish at the bottom of the MAC East. However, I agree that our proximity to the bottom is heavily dependent upon our QB's performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I agree that our proximity to the bottom is heavily dependent upon our QB's performance. - CK Quote'I would agree except our success in 2008 will be based on improvements in the Offense (not just the QB). The keys will be the ability of our new receivers to get on the same page as our QB, the durability of Andrew Johnson, great line play, coaching improvements, dedication and hard work.
