Yes, only doing one for now, but the other nine will come tomorrow night/wee hours of Thursday. The reason why I'm only doing one for now is because overall, this weekend in college football sucks, and I don't feel like writing an entire post right now. So, I'm being forced to choose a MAC game as part of the five best college games of the week. You can thank me later for subjecting you readers to this.
Toledo @ Northern Illinois, Wednesday, 9, ESPN2
Northern Illinois must be the best team in the MAC, and best team you've never heard of. The reason being, is that they are amazing on offense, scoring at least 30 points in each of their games, aside from their opener against Iowa, which they barely lost, by one point. The Huskies best player is their quarterback, Jordan Lynch, who has 3500 total yards, rushing and passing, and 36 total touchdowns. So, Lynch, although he plays in the MAC, should really get Heisman consideration. He's playing better than Collin Klein of K-State! (Could go on a rant about how mid-major conferences should be respected and treated like the big conferences, but not going to now. Perhaps some other time when I feel like it.) Anyway, Lynch should really have a shot to show off his skills against Toledo's defense, which is 104th in the nation in yards allowed. But, don't sleep on the Rockets either, who have a very balanced attack, with Terrance Owens and David Fuellen leading the team on offense. Toledo wins games by really trying to outduel their opponents, as evidened by their defense being 104th in the nation in yards allowed. But, their defense is a bend, don't break kind of defense, which bodes well for them in this game. But, with that said, and since the Huskies are at home, go with them in the shootout.
Pick: NIU 48, Toledo 42
