2009 MAC Conference College Football Predictions - 2009 Odds to Win MAC

Miami Ohio: The Redhawks take on Kentucky in Cincinnati to start the season. They’ll also face Boise State on the road, Cincinnati at home and Northwestern on the road in their non-conference schedule. In the MAC, they’ll host Bowling Green and Buffalo. This is a team that needs to rebuild with a new coaching staff. Expect improvements in small doses. 2009 Miami Ohio College Football Predictions

Central Michigan: Central Michigan faces Arizona and Michigan State on the road to start the season. They also host Alcorn State (1-AA) and Boston College on the road. In conference, they face Western Michigan, Buffalo and Bowling Green on the road. Not a favorable schedule to get back to the Motor City Bowl, but that usually doesn’t matter when you have LeFevour under center. 2009 Central Michigan College Football Predictions

Western Michigan: The Broncos open with Michigan and Indiana on the road, before they take on Hofstra (1-AA) and Michigan State (Nov. 7). They take on rival Central Michigan and Buffalo at home, while facing Northern Illinois on the road. This is a pretty tough schedule for a team that should score plenty of points, but will also give up many. 2009 Western Michigan College Football Predictions

Ball State: The Cardinals face North Texas and New Hampshire to start the season at home. After that they face Army and Auburn on the road, so it’s not inconceivable that they could start 3-1. They also host Central Michigan and Bowling Green (they skip Buffalo) and face Western Michigan on the road to end the season. This is a team that should take a few steps back after losing Nate Davis, one of the best players in the MAC. This means they will have to rely on their running game. 2009 Ball State College Football Predictions

Northern Illinois: The Huskies face Wisconsin on the road to start the season. They also face Western Illinois and Idaho at home, along with Purdue on the road. They also host Western Michigan and Ball State, but end the season on the road at Central Michigan. Expect the defense to regress after returning just three starters. The offense features some great potential and could be better their youngsters mature. 2009 Northern Illinois College Football Predictions

Toledo: The Rockets face Purdue on the road and then host Colorado at home. They also take on Ohio State in Cleveland and face Florida International on the road. In conference, they host Western Michigan and take on Central Michigan, Ball State and Bowling Green on the road. This is a tough schedule for a new coach that needs to rebuild most of his defense. 2009 Toledo College Football Predictions
