MAC Championship: Ohio vs. Central Michigan

The 'Eye enjoys ribbing me because I enjoy keeping up with what's going on in the Mid-American Conference. I'm not an expert on the MAC, but I like to think there are some talented players and excellent coaches in the conference.

When Ohio (9-3, 7-1) faces Central Michigan (10-2, 8-0) Friday night in the championship game in Detroit, it's a chance to see two of the nation's best coaches in the Bobcats Frank Solich and the Chippewas Butch Jones.

Ohio has its hands full. The Bobcats are banged up (including QB Theo Scott) after a tough four-week stretch to even get in this game, and they have to figure out a way to stop one of the conference's best all-time players in QB Dan LeFevour.

But Ohio will be ready. The Bobcats are trying to claim their first conference title since 1968, so if you have nothing important on the Friday slate check out this MAC contest.

Coming tomorrow: Weekend predictions.
