he certainly talks up Ball State quite a bit for predicting them to not make a bowl

Yeah, I found that interesting. Maybe this fellow is one who doesn't believe in the "West is sooo much better than the East" nonsense that we've been hearing.

He did make several good points though.

1.Buffalo is overrated, if that's even possible. They aren't going anywhere.
2.Western Michigan is not the great team that everybody thinks.
3.Temple does have a serious shot at a bowl, and an outside shot at an East Division title.
4.Yes, Central Michigan will win the West Division again.
5.Yes, it will be BG and Miami battling it out for the East Division.
6.Ball State has talent, but when push comes to shove they can't get it done.

That's what I took from this preview. And I'd say he's right on pretty much all counts except for the part about BSU not making a bowl.

I think WMU is going to be better than a lot of people think...and I have Ball State taking the West title away from CMU this year. Just a gut feeling...

At any rate, let's get this party started.

the Falcons have expectations. I like it better when nobody sees them coming. That way, if they falter, nobody notices.
I like dark horses, too.
