The Mid-American Conference unveiled their coaches poll on Thursday morning from the Fox Theater in Detroit, Michigan, with the conference’s program leaders selecting the Toledo Rockets as the favorite team to win the football championship in the upcoming season of play.
The Rockets come into 2023 as the defending conference champion after a banner season which saw them finish 9-5 with a 14-game schedule, winning the MAC Championship over the Ohio Bobcats and edging out Liberty in the Boca Raton Bowl by a final score of 21-19.
Toledo wrapped up the West division in early November with a win over Ball State, ultimately finishing with a 5-3 record in-league.
