EMU
Ball State

Tier 2:
CMU

Tier 3:
Akron

This is tough to do, but winners at the top, losers ranked by performance and Akron just looked different level bad.

Northern Illinois
Buffalo
Toledo
Eastern Michigan
Ball St
Central Michigan
Kent St
Western Michigan
Bowling Green St
Miami
Ohio
Akron

I also do winners at the top. My ranking is similar to yours. I put NIU first b/c they beat a P5.
Was hard doing the losers b/c none of them looked great other than CMU.

Ga Tech was beat by the Citadel two years ago and was
Syracuse's only win last season. 6 wins total in the past two seasons. Not exactly even a mediocre P5.

Doesn't matter much, NIU was the only MAC team with a FBS win in week 1. All other MAC schools beat FCS teams (many I've never heard of) or lost big to P5s (except for CMU).

I appreciate any P5 win for the MAC. But, I would be the first to tell you a bad Toledo team(3-9) beat a bad Michigan(3-9).

GT’s Citadel loss was the year after firing Paul Johnson and abandoning the triple option. They had a good excuse for being bad the last couple years as the roster was turned over from one built like a service academy. This (3rd) year was when Collins was expected to make a jump toward bowl eligibility. It remains to be seen but obviously not the greatest start.

G5 over P5 is still a symbolic victory, even if the P5 is bad.
