This is a Browns town game on live over here now, who should I be supporting?

You talking about Akron U vs. Ohio U in football?

 

Well, I am an Akron Zip....if that influences your thinking. But I like the OU Bobcats when they aren't playing Akron.

 

But, I see that Ohio won in a defensive battle. 9-3

They are both MAC schools (Mid America Conference) so neither team is considered an elite football team.

 

I would say that if you like to cheer for the underdog, that would be the Akron Zips.

 

Western Michigan is sitting at #15 and playing in the Cotton Bowl.

 

Last I looked they were a MAC team.

 

6 MAC teams had bowl invitations.

Yeah, like that's a typical MAC ranking.

 

An anamoly is more like it.

Even a blind squirrel finds a nut from time to time. MAC is probably the best mid-level conference, but no one is mistaking it for a power 5.

Yes but Miami (Ohio) from my backyard isn't exactly deserving at 6-6. Damn there's so many meaningless bowl game now- it's ridiculous. I'd rather see 5-7 Texas Tech with Mahomes.

I watch a lot of college football. MAC players often go on to have better pro careers than SEC guys.

 

The Steelers were practically built on the MAC -- Roethlisberger, Antonio Brown, James Harrison. JJ Watt did a year in the MAC, Antonio Gates, Joe Staley, Cullen Jenkins, the list goes on. These players didn't just acquit themselves, they dominated.
