It's officially college football month and Ryan and Clinton start to wind down fall previews, tonight tacking the Mid-American Conference as a whole. To help break them down, Alex Scheer from the MAC Sports Connection Podcast joins the show.

Six MAC programs break in new coaches in 2025 (Kent State, Central Michigan, Bowling Green, UMass, Ohio and Ball State). Which of these six programs is best set up for success for this season?

The top tier of the conference seems well outlined, with 2024 championship game participants Ohio and Miami primed to contend once again, with Toledo and Buffalo also in the mix. Who are we looking as favorites in the league? Who among that next tier of teams could ascend and shake up the race for the title game?

The league as a whole has been hit hard by the portal, with seemingly no program spared. However there are still plenty of impact players who will become household names in 2025. Who are five impact players fans should be aware of on offense/defense in 2025.

Finally, the expanded playoff gave fans of G5 programs hope to one day see their school crashing the playoff. Is 2025 the year a MAC program earns the G5 playoff bid? In the same thought process, are there any MAC vs P4 upset opportunities we should be keeping our eyes on?
