The Mid-American Rugby Conference (MAC) is a men's college rugby conference with at the D1AA level, affiliated with National Collegiate Rugby (NCR). It organizes rugby programs in Kentucky, Ohio, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.
It’s all finalized in the Mid-American Conference as the playoff matchup are set.
In the North, Bowling Green hammered Ball State 74-7 to finish 3-1; the Falcons already had secured 2nd in the North behind Western Michigan, so that doesn’t change. Central Michigan doubled up Kent State to finished 2-2.
As if they needed any confirmation, Western Michigan put their stamp on their MAC season with a 35-14 defeat of Central Michigan to finish league standings play 4-0.
WMU is the #1 team from the MAC North, and will play the MAC South #2, which is still to be determined. With the loss, Central Michigan cannot pass Bowling Green for second in the MAC North.
Well, the University of Cincinnati finally won one, and they won big.
After losing two games by razor-thin margins and another slightly less close one to Dayton, the Bearcats exploded to beat #35 Miami of Ohio.
Western Michigan should be delighted with the Broncos’ 33-26 upset of Bowling Green, and they are, but the Mid-American Conference team also knows it’s a long season.
It’s a wild shakeup in the Mid-American Conference as once more we see several close games, and one or two upsets.
It was almost an upset in the one non-standings game, as Miami out of the South edged Ball State out of the North 28-27. It was the second-straight nailbiter for Miami, but again a game that doesn’t count in the standings.
