THE RFC MYC: Mid-American Conference (FBS Group Of Five)

Mid-American Conference (FBS Group Of Five)

Overview: After yet another competitive regular season from top to bottom, the Mid-American Conference (MAC) had one of its best postseason showings in quite some time last fall.

Six of the MAC's 12 teams-Bowling Green, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, Miami (Ohio), Ohio, and Toledo-all qualified for postseason play in 2022, with all of those squads finishing a combined 4-2 in bowl games. That accomplishment was good enough to give the conference its' first-ever outright Bowl Challenge Cup championship.

Of the four teams that won their bowl games last season, Buffalo knocked off Georgia Southern in the Camellia Bowl, Eastern Michigan downed San Jose State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl to claim their first postseason win since 1987, while Ohio outlasted Wyoming in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl in overtime to finish its season at 10-4 overall, and Toledo parlayed its MAC title game win over the Bobcats to beat Liberty in the Boca Raton Bowl. 

As for what could happen in 2023, don't be surprised if a different set of squads end up not only winning a MAC championship but also becoming bowl-eligible going into December.
