League play went into full swing for the Mid-American Conference in Week 5. All 12 teams have now logged at least one game into the conference standings for the 2023 season.
Week 5 featured a 6-game slate with five league matchups and one notable non-conference clash between Bowling Green and Georgia Tech. In the midst of it all, it was this non-conference game which stole the headlines this week. As 21-point underdogs, Bowling Green stormed into Atlanta and upended Georgia Tech in 38-27 fashion. The Falcons were recognized as the Cheez-It National Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America for their monumental upset.
