Where is a 1 loss team in the MAC, or better yet 2 1 loss teams in the MAC. At some stupid .com bowl no one cares about other than the 2 teams playing and their fans.

I'm bored so I looked it up.
Kent St. finished 2nd in the MAC and got a 1.3 for the GoDaddy bowl and played Arkansas St.
Championship game got a 0.7 rating.
A difference of about 800,000 people watching the games, which looks to be about the average difference between a night game and a day game, so in that case it's a wash since we don't control the time of the game.
And espn vs espn2 i believe.
Any sagarin gurus have sagarins lines on the 1st round games?
Thanks but looking for what sagarin would make the line not the probability of who will win
using the predictor and +3 for home team this is what I came up with, hopefully I am not way off

**looks like my last few lines are off. site I used is missing furman game and messed up the numbers after.
UN_ will hold us back from going FBS.
Here's the updated Sagarin numbers. No changes for NDSU and much of FCS. No surprise considering there were only 8 games played. In the top-25, Jacksonville State and Tennessee State were the big winners, while Bethune-Cookman and the Ivy League were the big losers. The Bison are a 32 point favorite vs. Furman(not counting bye week advantage).
