The only direction is up. You should look at my post in the Ryan Bamford post. Almost all MAC teams need money games. Many of those games are against BigTen teams, the best conference. Some of the MAC teams played well against those power conference teams. At the end of the year, believe CUSA will be the worst conference. The top MAC teams are general good in bowls. W Mich. blow our #7 Rhode Island 47 to 14.

Your blind love for the MAC is outrageous. I count one close game vs Big 10, Rutgers 34 Ohio 31. Everything else vs big10 was blowout city. Where are these close games you talk about?

4life of me, there is a much bigger gap between power conference that invest the 22.5M in house NIL limit, plus many have have collectives that are unlimited. We and most of the MAC on average is in the 2-3M range. So the gap towards zero is much small with FCS. Glad you broke out the 12-1 with us having the 1pt lose, which is the small gap, than the Power conference record. Not saying the MAC is great or we are great.

We need to take care of ourselves and will watch the MACtion season and Bowls. Seems you don't enjoy it, but enjoy sniping at us for sport. Please don't kick your dog.

Blind loyalty is never a good thing. Camby4Life is right.

Where are the games MAC played well against power teams? I’m seeing some ridiculous scores from non conference play. 68-0, 63-3, 62-14, 66-10. Umass has 3 on their own 42-6, 47-7, 42-10. There are also a bunch of shutouts mixed in.

I’ve been a fan of Maction for years, I just don’t understand your life passion of defending this conference?
