The magazine arrived today. I don’t remember it ever arriving in May before but the people working there wer probably so excited that someone actually ordered a physical copy that they couldn’t wait to ship it out.
I’ve been getting the Athlon college football magazine each year since ‘99. For just the second time during that era, Athlon has picked Miami to win the MAC (the previous time was 2024).
Miami is ranked 86th nationally, WMU is 87th. Not surprisingly, the MAC is ranked 10th out of the 10 FBS conferences. Miami is projected to play Troy in the Boca Raton Bowl.
All-MAC first-team predictions…
OL: Eric Smith, Evan Malcore
DL: Bai Jobe
LB: CJ Young, Blayne Myrick
CB: Mychal Yharbrough
P: Pierse Stanton
All-purpose: Rodney Nelson
