Northern Illinois |

NIU just keeps rolling along and is the only MAC team who seems to be winning with confidence week in and week out, the bye week upsets don't hurt either. |
2 |
Kent |
1 |
Kent benefits from Ohio's loss but should pause at the fat their next two game may be their hardest conference game of the season. |
3 |
Toledo |
-1 |
With the loss Toledo joins Ohio as MAC teams that climb into the top 25 only to trip. |
4 |
Ball State |

There certainly is an argument for Putting BSU ahead of Toledo. I still hold the Lembo has been the best recent coaching Hire. |

Bowling Green |

Bowling Green holds their spot because there are five or six really good teams leading the MAC. Next week against Kent, they have a chance to really jump |
6 |
Ohio |
-2 |
So Ohio has fallen from and defeated and ranked to maybe the third best team in the East. They will be lucky to make ten wins because of this slump. |
7 |
Buffalo |

2 Things are different in Buffalo. The Quarterback and the level of opponents, draw your conclusion as to which one is the bigger factor. |
8 |
Central Michigan |
- |
The Chips survived a huge scare from Eastern Michigan and stay alive in their quest to become bowl eligible. |
9 |
Western Mighigan |
-2 |
To think that Alex Carder would be back and *that* would be your problem? WMU will not be bowling this season. |
10 |
Miami |
-1 |
Miami falls because Buffalo is rising, not so much because Kent beat them. After next week either they, or Central Michigan, will be one win away from a bowl. |

The Minutemen have played several competitive games this season, in Akron they finally found a team shallow enough for an FCS squad to beat. |
12 |
Eastern Michigan |
-1 |
EMU can thank their lucky stars that Army is awful. They are ten points away from being winless. English may survive because of finances but next year is his last. |
13 |
Akron |
-1 |
This is what you get for being the only win Umass has so far. Ont the "bright" side the zips have four losses by one TD or less, they are better than last season. |
