The story of the Mid-American Conference this year may very well be PJ Fleck and the Western Michigan Broncos, who have sprinted out to a 3-0 start, are gunning for a perfect non-conference schedule today with a win over Georgia Southern, and are looking to catapult themselves into MAC play with another win over a quality opponent.
WMU already has wins over Northwestern and Illinois, but in some respects Georgia Southern may very well be the best team in their non-conference slate. The Eagles may not have a marquee win like WMU, but they are also 3-0 and have prided themselves on excellence in execution and not beating themselves.
