It’s hard to take too much away from this week. Everyone in the MAC was playing a “pay for play game”, either hosting an FCS team or going to a P5 conference school. Usually those are lopsided games that don’t speak to conference performance.
Buffalo scored the most points in college football this week, against a terrible FCS squad. Akron was destroyed by an amazing G5 programs.
The most telling games came from NIU and Ball State.
NIU knocked off Georgia Tech. The Yellowjackets are not a power team, but it was a great win by a program many picked to finish dead last in the MAC West.
