Message: [QUOTE="Plebe, post: 3891933, member: 6927"] It was more than an issue of the better teams in the MAC beating up on each other. They also lost too many games to the middle and bottom of the conference. Ohio is a good example, since in theory they entered conference play in the best position to build an at-large-worthy resume with the win over Notre Dame (with ND missing two key players, but still). But Ohio's losses came not only to the top 3 other teams in the conference (Bowling Green, Central Michigan, Buffalo). They also lost to Eastern Michigan, Ball State, Kent State and Akron. Just not a good overall resume. I don't like reading too much into one game, but I find eye-opening the fact that the team that won the regular season title by 1.5 games (Bowling Green) lost to a pretty lame Purdue team this year.
