The Mid American Conference has always been a fun conference for bettors. It starts mid season when the ESPN family of networks picks up the MAC conference games and nationally televises them on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. This gives bettors opportunities to really see the MAC in action and since they’re stand alone games, a lot of money is bet on them.
We’re down to the nitty-gritty conferences in our 2011 college football previews. The Mid-American (MAC) certainly qualifies as one of them.

Entering its 63rd year of gridiron competition, the MID AMERICAN CONFERENCE will once again play a balanced schedule, meaning each team will play eight conference games in 2009. Let’s hope the results are more balanced that last year when Buffalo was the only team in the MAC East Division to finish the season with a winning record.
This is definitely a league that is wide open and one that likes to mix things up.
Seven different teams that have appeared in the last four MAC Championship games while nine different MAC schools that have appeared in a bowl game in the last four seasons.
