All MAC Games Will Count The Same In 2008!

I like this format a lot. It makes all MAC games important again no matter who you play. In the old format, a cross-divisional game was essentially a non-conference game unless of a tie-break. This way, all eight MAC games "really" count as opposed to the five (MAC West) or six (MAC East) games that you played in your division. I like the change.

Absolutely agree. Good to see that the MAC office came to this decision as well.

I think this is only good the years Toledo sucks.

Here's a scenario that will play out someday soon.

BG beats Miami, giving them their only loss in MAC play. They play an 0-11 EMU and 1-10 Balls Tate in their crossover games. We play at 10-1 Toledo and 9-2 CMU and lost both games and Miami wins.

Not a huge deal, but I understand why they had only divisional games count before.

Would it have affected the MAC race last year?

Would it have affected the MAC race last year?

As an angst-riddled Falcon fan (like many of us on the topic of MAC titles), you don't want to know the answer to that.
