The Mid-American Conference is generally a haven for players passed over by the glam leagues, but it's become a fine place to find big-time quarterback talent. Take a look at the NFL, where MAC products Ben Roethlisberger (Miami Ohio), Chad Pennington (Marshall) and Byron Leftwich (Marshall) all are among the young stars. Now take a look at the league this season, where four quarterbacks rank in the NCAA top 30 in passer rating: Bowling Green sophomore Omar Jacobs (35) is third and has thrown a nation-leading 32 touchdown passes; Toledo junior Bruce Gradkowski (36) is sixth, with more than 6,000 passing yards the last two seasons; Miami Ohio junior Josh Betts (37) is No. 21, having taken over admirably for Big Ben; and Akron junior Charlie Frye (38) is No. 30 and has more than 10,500 career passing yards.
