---|---|---|---|---|
1 | Toledo | 2 | 1 | The Rockets benefited from Bowling Green's misadventure but their running game may have put them at #1 regardless of what the Falcons did. |
2 | NIU | 3 | 1 | Solid win by the Huskies to kick off the post-Jordan Lynch Era. |
3 | Ball State | 4 | 1 | BSU with two 100 yard ball carriers could once again be in the West race right up until the season ends. |
4 | BGSU | 1 | -3 | Very disappointing showing for a team that was supposed to be the MAC standard bearer this season. BGSU won the MAC in 2013 on defense. |
5 | Ohio | 5 | 0 | Ohio starts MAC play with a walk off field goal victory over Kent. Not at all a bad showing for a Bobcats team breaking in a new QB. |
6 | Akron | 7 | 1 | Against an FCS opponent or not, 41-0 is one hell of a beat down. The Zips have made a statement in Week One. |
7 | Buffalo | 6 | -1 | UB trailed to a team that only brought 35 scholarship athletes. There are real questions for the Bulls to answer if they hope to go bowling. |
8 | WMU | 10 | 2 | I have to throw some Flecking love at WMU for taking 14 freshman and making a B10 team sweat. Even if it's only Purdue. |
9 | Kent | 9 | 0 | Kent gave the Bobcats a game but you cant turn the ball over that late in a tie game and expect to win. |
10 | CMU | 8 | -2 | They are not getting bumped down because of the close game to an FCS member but because they lost Titus Davis. |
11 | Miami | 11 | 0 | Good show by Miami to put a scare into the Herd. Either Miami is far better than people think or Marshall is not going undefeated. |
12 | EMU | 12 | 0 | A win is a win but if the Factory is only good for a 3-point win over Howard, expect another season of Eagle football. |
13 | UMass | 13 | 0 | UMass Kept it close for a half of the game, granted a lot of that was stupid BC penalties. |
