Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC)-(FCS)
Overview: Despite having just one of its' six teams post an overall winning record, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) still managed to produce the "mythical" HBCU national champion for 2022 in the form of the North Carolina Central University Eagles.
NCCU compiled a final overall mark of 10-2, while also posting a 5-1 mark in MEAC play last fall. The Eagles lone losses of last season came to Campbell, 48-18, on October 1, as well as to South Carolina State, 26-24, on October 22.
However, NCCU claimed the MEAC's berth to the Celebration Bowl with a 50-21 rout of Howard on November 5. The Eagles finished their storybook season with a 41-34 upset win in overtime over the SWAC champion Jackson State University Tigers in that aforementioned contest on December 17.
As the 2023 season approaches, it'll be interesting to see if North Carolina Central can not only repeat as MEAC champions, but also as Celebration Bowl champions. Still, expect the likes of South Carolina State and Howard to give the Eagles a run for this money this fall.
