The MAC Championship game is just hours away, set to kick off at 8 PM tonight on ESPN2. The conference has been flying under the radar this year for the most part, but suddenly they have a 10 win team and another 9 win team squaring off for the title, in what should be a [...] We’ve made it through 12 games in 13 weeks and now it’s time to put a bow on the 2009 season in C-USA and the MAC. The MAC preview is coming this afternoon, to get you ready for tonight’s game. The Conference USA Championship Game kicks off at noon Saturday on ESPN2. The Houston Cougars [...] While most of the drama has subsided in the WAC, there’s still that chance of an upset of Boise State is spending too much time worrying about bowl selections, and one game that nobody is going to watch will have huge ramifications on many teams nationwide. Before we get into previews of the games that our conferences have lined up this weekend, let’s take a look at what the implications are of the other games on the docket for this week and weekend. Oregon State at Oregon (Thursday): National Implications: Winner advances to the Rose Bowl. Non-BCS Implications: Virtually none. The loser [...] We’re now closing in on 90 minutes from what may be the biggest non-conference, non-BCS game of the year. Boise State is leaving the comfort of the Blue Field for the third time this season, taking on the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

It turns out tonight is Louisiana Monroe’s 6th game too, but that just puts them on a pretty tall pile at this point.

We’ll shoot for an in-depth preview of the Tuesday action on Tuesday, so now we’ll look at what we do have for Saturday. It’s all conference, all the time for the MWC from here on in. Air Force has a game with Army later on, but otherwise, a quick glance shows not a single out of conference game from here on in. Which is cool, because it means we get games that count more, and I only have [...] Normally I like to write my previews over Thursday and Friday, to space things out, allow for general time wasting, etc. Then my network connection puked yesterday as soon as I got the Pub column written, which meant no connection to write or research these previews. So I will now attempt to write five posts [...] Week 5 was mostly quiet across the Belt, with only three games and five teams in action. Arkansas State put on the best show of the weekend, pushing Iowa to the brink on their turf, falling 24-21 in the Sun Belt’s best game this year against ranked opposition. Florida Atlantic couldn’t get off the mark, [...] |
