Buffalo Bulls Football selected fourth in MAC East in conference coaches preseason poll

Fourth in the East, the usual.

The MAC coaches see both divisions being competitive at the top and then reasonably agree on the breakdown beyond the obvious bowl teams, and Buffalo, as we're accustomed to by now, was picked fourth in the East Division, a hair closer to Miami in fifth than Akron in third.

It's not altogether surprising considering UB's 5-7 season in 2015 and the offensive losses to graduation since then. Lance Leipold will be replacing a starting QB, a pair of first-string wide receivers, and a multi-year starter at running back.

What's certainly more surprising to me is Akron getting a vote to win the East Division -- Ohio received four and Bowling Green the remaining seven.
