2009 MAC Conference College Football Predictions

Buffalo: The non-conference schedule features two road games at UTEP and UCF and two home games vs. Pitt and Gardner-Webb. They also host Bowling Green at home, which is a major reason they should win the MAC East. If they can continue to create turnovers and not commit many, they should have another outstanding season. 2009 Buffalo College Football Predictions
