GRR: University of Cincinnati
Bowling Green, Ohio, and Louisville all emerged victorious in the opening weekend of action in the Mid American Conference.
Ohio beat Dayton 41-12, while Louisville won big over Pitt 65-5.
Bowling Green also won fairly convincingly 38-5, although Cincinnati put together some solid periods of play and perhaps were a little unlucky not to score more.
Don't look now but University of Cincinnati is 3-1 in the MAC.
In a conference that looks to be pretty competitive even including the teams who haven't won games, there does appear to be an almighty race for playoff spots. Louisville (3-0) and Bowling Green (3-0), are certainly secure (and they meet up October 21), and Western Michigan is still around at 2-1.
the Men's DIAA, D1 Club, and DIA seasons are almost upon us, with a few teams in action this weekend just to warm up.
Bowling Green repeated as Mid-American Conference Champions Sunday, beating Western Michigan 48-15 in the final and making it six finals wins since 2014.
The MAC top four are decided after this week's results.
IUPUI needed a Cincinnati loss (which they got) and an IUPUI win (they lost 31-24 to Louisville) to make the semis, and just missed. Bonus points almost, but not quite, mixed up the standings. WMU's penchant for scoring tries even if they lose, and IUPUI's two close losses almost got them up a spot.
