Miss playing in these. Can't believe that Kent St. would ever be in BCS contention.

1999 MAC Championship. First one I attended:

Kent State better win. I want to see them destroy Florida State/Florida.

No doubt....rooting for Kent State tonight!

Hell of a punt.

NICE STRIP! Kent St. ball. They're winning the special teams battle.

Good luck with that if it's Florida.

Kent St.'s QB doesn't look very good. He's staring down his primary receiver every play.

TD Kent. Dri Archer who claims to be faster than Kevin Grooms. Got away with a huge block in the back penalty that should have negated TD.

Archer is really impressive.

Announcers are stoned.

That was a great game, I remember being shocked as I turned it on and found out Western Michigan led 23-0. What a comeback by Chad Pennington and crew.

Wow, they're just absolutely trashing Kent St. right now. Talking about how bad the KY loss is and how they don't measure up to the Boise St., Utah's of the past.

Well just for that loss alone they don't. The others had a clean resume. That said, I hope Kent makes it and wins the BCS game.

Not sure if serious.

Florida/Kent State would be UGA/Hawaii all over again. A 40-point beatdown, and waste of a good bowl game.

Kent is playing by the stacked rules they themselves set and now they are mad they are gonna get in. Besides the rules were changed a few years back. The rules used to be harder before the 5th bowl was added so of course it Utah may have been better. Its obvious they are trying to influence opinion. All negatives and not one mention of 12 wins which is hard in any conference and no mention of a solid win vs Rutgers, just keep bashinf the Kentucky game early in the season. Let them play now.

I thought ESPN had a chubby for #MACtion

LOL, were still in "The Group of 5" and Oklahoma is a made man.

Both of these teams would be killed in a BCS game.
Go NIU! Beat them then finish the season ranked 17

I'm kind of with you Armored. I have been completely underwhelmed by this game. Neither team looks impressive to me. Last year's NIU team looked better than this one.

Hell, maybe we should have taken that MAC invite seven years ago if these are the two best teams in the league.

This game has convinced me even further that the talent level in the south is still immensely higher than it is in the MAC's recruiting footprint.

Both of these teams are solid.
