We're not too far off from some MACtion, so I figured I'd kick it off with my own predictions.
MAC Championship
Bowling Green over Toledo - Bowling Green has an exciting, up-tempo offense, an aggressive defense, and brings back enough key players to make them my favorite to win in Detroit. Coming off of a 10-4 season highlighted by their trouncing of Jordan Lynch and NIU in the Title Game, the Falcons will come into 2014 with a ton of confidence.
Surprise Team
Akron - I think they go 7-5, which may not seem great but sure looks nice after three consecutive seasons of 1-11 in 2010, 2011, and 2012. They went 5-7 last year, almost taking one in Michigan early in the year (and I still say they got screwed). They won 4 of their last 5 last season, ending the year strong. I like their schedule and think they'll not only surprise in the MAC, but come away with a victory either at Penn State or in Pittsburgh.
Bowl Teams
Bowling Green, Toledo, Ohio, Akron, Northern Illinois, and Ball State
