MAC play is still in its early stages, but one of the most pivotal battles in the West division kicks off at the Glass Bowl this Saturday.
Only three MAC teams have generated three wins in the first five weeks, and Toledo (3-1) and Western Michigan (3-2) are two of them, appearing to fit the mold as conference title contenders.
How the Rockets and Broncos got here
Toledo squandered an early lead to Kentucky in Week 1, but ever since that second half in Lexington, the Rockets have clicked on all cylinders. They shut out their FCS opponent, Murray State to produce their first win of the year.
