Stated with less hyperbole: I think sports media consistently under-represent the gap btw P4 and non-P4 conferences…

How many times have we seen decent MAC teams pummeled by middling (or worse) B10 teams? It’s a convenient fiction that G6 teams play the same game at the same level, IMO.

WMU is probably the best team in the MAC. I’d be very concerned if they gave UM much of a battle.

  - I don’t think so. In recent history that was true, but not with this coach and this team * - By WestSideBlue September 4, 2026 at 10:19:13 PM
    - Maybe not but after this game advanced stats probably put them toward top end of MAC* - By harbaughdyssey September 4, 2026 at 10:24:29 PM
