Does the MAC play under some weird rules?

Best team isn't the champion as determined on the field.

Ohio isn't "bowl worthy" but Temple was one of the best teams, yet Ohio won when the two met head-to-head.

Sounds like BCS logic to me.

Maybe someone can arrange a MAC Day on Dr. Phil.:towel:

In the case of Temple, I think there was some posturing by the league office to give the all sports member the nod. Temple was on the verge of cracking the top 25 late in the season and their year end Sagarin (I know, not the best indicator) rating trailed only NIU within the conference. This is a pivotal year for Temple and the MAC as the original football agreement is about up and now UMass is on the verge of also joining the league. There is really no need to add UMass if Temple is out.

As it relates to bowls, our new friends from UMass have suggested the Kraft family has interest in setting up a bowl at Gillette Stadium. With the WAC up in the year and a couple new teams set to join FBS over the next few years, I am sure there will be some shuffling of the bowls (add/drops/new ones). Hopefully this will work in the MACs and Belts favor as one would think the revamped WAC will be at the bottom of the pecking order for bowl contracts.

I don't think anyone should play anyone else, ever. Anywhere.

The risks are just too great.

So in other words, the MAC needs to keep the facade of superiority for appearance purposes. God forbid that they would have to actually win games to prove their superiority as a football conference. The pussification of the nation continues up north in the MAC.

I know another school in the north (in the state of Louisiana this time) desperately clinging to a facade of superiority for appearance purposes.

So much so that they'll kill the program than admit the truth.

Dream on, bro. ULM is here to stay. I can't believe how much some of you Cajun fans like to make up stuff and hope that it's true. All we get out of you guys is that air of superiority that you insist you have (almost like talking to a Tech fan), so take it to your aluminum trailer and stow it.

I think he meant Louisiana Tech. At least, that's how I interpreted it.

LOL!! Trust me, he wasnt talking about you guys.

PS..ULM may not be here to stay. If this state does its job it'll shut dead weight down before they kill the entire higher ed system in Louisiana.

That's pretty funny (and horribly hypocritical) for any non-AQ school to talk about a successful FCS program like that. Georgia Southern has 6 1-AA national championships; they'd whip some 1-A teams on a regular basis.

I can tell you this ULM isn't going anywhere.

One of my favorite words coined by George Carlin. I only use it when appropriate.

The godaddy is as much a Sun Belt bowl as a MAC bowl - maybe moreso.

I do believe Mr. Couch was spouting sour grapes in his article, and he really looks like a crybaby for it.

Anomaly or not, the MAC members adopted their rules for crowning a champion and it has produced Miami(OH) this year just as it previously produced Buffalo.

And this is yet another reason the Sun Belt doesn't need a championship game!

Of course it was T-E-C-H that I was talking about.

Apparently, you have to spell it out for Hoaxfan as subtle humor is lost on them.

We all know there's no air of superiority in Monroe...

Yep. The one thing I can truly say about your school is that it's not going anywhere.

No bowls.
No winning seasons.
No NCAA tourneys in MBB.
No CWS.
NO WCWS.

Yep. You're going nowhere.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks CitrusUCF. GSU ended up 71 in the Sagarin ratings this year so he probably just needed to check his facts before posting. We have also never hired a high school coach to be our HC as his recently did.

Except if Mobile can get an SEC team they will kick out the MAC, but NOT the SBC.

"Moreso" is definitely not the right word (or even a real word).
