Duke vs NIU

Unread post by ASU78 » Tue Dec 26, 2017 5:33 pm

So ASU destroyed MAC conference champs Toledo 34-0. Duke is now playing MAC Conference 2nd place NIU. Shouldn't Duke win this game easily since they are from the much more powerful ACC?

Up 22 with a shut out in 3 of the 4 quarters so far. That's pretty dominant at any level of football. Also Duke only beat two teams with a winning record and finished 6-6 themselves. After top 3 or 4 of any P5 conference is a huge drop off and G5 can compete. I'd love to see a Sun Belt vs P5 tie in

That is pathetic to say the least. And Toledo thought they deserved a better bowl game than to play the sisters of the poor.

Akron won that division instead of Ohio.

Duh! Other than citing the wrong champion and the wrong score (it was 41-6), I was right on. :oops:

I don't get why the MAC isn't considered to be the worst G5 conference. Their 10 year bowl record is abysmal. They get fat off bad big 12, big 10 and ACC schools.

WOW...too lazy to look it up so what's the MAC's bowl record so far this season and do they have any more games left?

1-4. Ohio won their game. Toledo, Akron, Central Michigan, and NIU lost theirs.

3-1 for Sun Belt. Us, Troy, and GA State won ours. Ark State lost. Aggies are playing Utah State the 29th. Hopefully they win and bring us to 4-1 as a conference.
