So, which conference would you prefer? It is a fact YSU is the farthest east in the conference----but the travel isn't that bad. This isn't exactly the MidCon when we were in that for basketball and playing games in Utah and Oklahoma. I'd prefer to play in a competitive conference. If there was a MAC style conference with multiple Ohio schools, you obvious do that....but the options are limited in FCS.
As for the eye test---you know YSU lost a game by 41 points, right? Lost four games in a row and then barely squeaked out a win against a terrible team on homecoming? This is an above average football team. No more, no less. Are they better than some teams that made the playoffs? Maybe. I don't follow all these teams enough to know. But----when you lose four games, you forfeit your ability to b**** about it. You want to make the playoffs? Win your games.
