CFN has tried to list a variety of top 5s for this upcoming season.
I've included the BG stuff for those that don't want to click the full link.
Top 5 games that will shape the MAC race were,
Nov. 4, Bowling Green at Akron
If this doesn't turn out to decide the East title, it'll play a major role in who'll play in the championship game.
Nov. 15, Miami Univ. at Bowling Green
If nothing else, this might decide a bowl bid.
5 non-conference games that MAC opponents had better take seriously:
1. Wisconsin at Bowling Green, Sept. 2
The Badgers will be strong as the year goes on, but there are several holes that need to be filled. Will everyone be ready in the opener?
5 best MAC pro prospects:
2. Bowling Green C Kory Lichtensteiger, Jr.
The starter at left guard for all 11 games last year, the 305 Lichtensteiger earned second-team All-MAC honors. He's a nasty all-around blocker who'll move to center where he should be the anchor up front and an all-star for the third straight season.
5 biggest MAC shoes to fill:
4. Bowling Green QB Anthony Turner for Omar Jacobs
Thrown into the mix when Omar Jacobs got hurt, Turner had a few decent moments, but the offense struggled against three bad defenses: Western Michigan, Akron, and Kent State. At 6-2, 226-pound sophomore is more mobile than Jacobs and has a good arm. Now he has to prove he can lead the offense to points and the team to wins.
5 MAC breakout players:
1. Bowling Green WR Marques Parks, Soph. - 9 catches, 114 yds, 12.7 ypc
The new main man at the X, Parks turned into a starter halfway through the season before getting knocked out for the year. He has decent size and nice deep speed, but it's asking a lot for him to be as productive right away as Charles Sharon was.

and they fawn over a Toledo defense that lost its two best players.
