Ye Olde Roundtable: Get Amped, It’s Bowl Season

How surprising was the MAC Championship result, and what’s your key takeaway from that game? Do you think Miami (OH) is the best team in the conference?

James Jimenez (@AVKingJames): Well, the two teams who made it were certainly a surprise. As for the game itself, Miami has seemed to have CMU’s number in cross-division games recently, winning the last three that I can immediately recall. So perhaps it isn’t all that surprising the RedHawks won. But what makes it so shocking is the way they did it. They gut-punched CMU right at the start and never let the foot off the gas until the fourth quarter, when they tried to save their lead.
