With all the BS going on in the college world, I am slowly beginning to admire the MAC and their relative unchanging nature. It feels like a conference that is, by and large, for the students. Sure the weekday games are not the most ideal, but considering most teams are near each other, they can get away with it without conflicting with academics too much. I wish we had more conferences like the MAC. Regional conferences that are more focused on maintaining the rivalries and traditions that they currently have.

Exactly, geography should still hold some value. The MAC may not be a conference that has anyone ranked consistently but when they do, they tend to have pretty good ranked teams. Western Michigan in 2016 definitely helped the conference out and pretty much every year they win against a Big Ten team or are at least competitive with them

The local high school here in Athens (Ohio University) is kinda the same.. (The Plains (Athens High School)), used to be in the SEOAL.. which is the “big school conference” for SE Ohio until about the same time (early 2010’s).. but they absolutely sucked in that conference for most sports and so they joined the TVC.. SE Ohio’s version of the MAC for high school.. full of mid to small ball schools that usually have 100 kids or less per graduating class.. compared to Athens High School that has.. considerably larger classes (same high school Joe Burrow came from actually).. and ever since they joined the TVC around 10 years ago.. they’ve absolutely owned every sport in the conference and it’s the lamest shit ever. I knew this is what was gonna happen but it’s unlikely that Athens will ever be kicked out because of the money they make the conference.

It’ll be interesting to see if the MAC has any luck at all with the 12 team format or if that 5th and 6th spot will just be a consistent contest between the MWC and AAC champs. Then again I wouldn’t be surprised if the SEC gets its way and eliminates or reduces the number of auto-bids. I’d hate that; instead of giving more conferences a chance just to get one more 10-2, 9-3 big 10 or SEC team in. I really hope they stick with 6 auto-bids

I really don't think the current model is sustainable. They'll 100% change the verbiage in the playoff ruling to make every slot an at-large, and just fill it with 5 SEC / 5 B1G teams and 2 from the ACC and Big 12 and call it a day. The sad thing is, the average college football fan WANTS that; they WANT to see 11-1 Ohio State vs 9-3 Ole Miss in the first round instead of 11-1 Texas Tech or 12-0 Boise State. The MAC might be ahead of the curve here because they hardly ever produce an undefeated team. They're like the cockroaches in the apocalypse; things might continue this direction and blow everything up or they might not, but the MAC will still be playing the same way they are now regardless

@@lukeontheplains I can see slight changes to the format, such as going to a 5+7 model. I believe if the CFP Committee tries to pull that garbage where it's just B1G and SEC and nobody else can go, there should be an uproar and an antitrust lawsuit on the horizon. Most fans across the country won't put up with the 12-team B1G/SEC Invitational long-term. The outgoing 4-team CFP has been obnoxious as it is with just B1G and SEC. How do we know what the average college football fan wants? The CFP Committee clearly don't ask the fans before they perform all their corporate nonsense. Anyway, about the MAC; this conference will be just fine. The MAC will survive conference realignment. Main reasons for this are 1) The B1G doesn't view the MAC as a threat. The MAC are in B1G territory, but clearly there are differences in how the 2 conferences are run. No one is confusing the Ohio Bobcats with the Ohio State Buckeyes, for example. 2) There are no real desirable conference expansion targets in MAC schools. The only MAC school you can somewhat make a case for would be Northern Illinois, but even then Northwestern would give that a hard "no" if the B1G was ever interested.

Growing up in Ohio I did not respect MAC much as a kid. I didn’t understand how to appreciation the conference or the opportunities it brought. MAC was a great stepping stone. But this is also why people think Ohio is the cradle of football. So many great players, coaches and sports legends roots start in Ohio and the MAC. From an academic standpoint, Ohio Universitie and Bowling Green were sabotaged by the Ohio State University and through laws regulating graduate level education (PhDs). To this day no school was ever able to catch up to Ohio State with money/funding and sports. Cincy is finally breaking this barrier. Ohio should have never been a one university football state. To this day, BGSU Hockey homes games is awesome. Packed stadium every night (students and community fans). You’ll even find more people at hockey games than football.
