 This 2021 BG team is going to have another bad year after going 0-5 in 2020 as they still have the youngest FBS team.  Week 1: Tennessee L Week 2: South Alabama W Week 3: Murray State W Week 4: Minnesota L Week 5: Kent State L Week 6: Akron W Week 7: NIU L Week 8: Eastern Michigan W Week 9: Buffalo L Week 10: Toledo L Week 11: Miami OH L Week 12: Ohio L Overall: 4-8 MAC: 2-6 Window: 2-4 wins I see the 2021 Falcons having another down year but building on a solid future just like Akron.  

The 2021 Akron Zips are still on course for their rebuild but will have to endure another tough season under Tom Arth. Week 1: Auburn L Week 2: Temple L Week 3: Bryant W Week 4: Ohio State L Week 5: Ohio L Week 6: Bowling Green L Week 7: Miami OH L Week 8: Buffalo L Week 9: Ball State L Week 10: Western Michigan L Week 11: Kent State L Week 12: Toledo L Overall: 1-11 MAC: 0-8 Window: 1-3 wins I see the 2021 Zips having another down year but building n a solid future.   

The Bobcats should be solid again under Frank Solich and will look to young Kurtis Rourke to contend this season.  Week 1: Syracuse W  Week 2: Duquesne W  Week 3: UL Lafayette L Week 4: Northwestern L Week 5: Akron W Week 6: Central Michigan L Week 7: Buffalo L Week 8: Kent State W Week 9: Miami OH L Week 10: Eastern Michigan W Week 11: Toledo L Week 12: Bowling Green W Overall: 6-6 MAC: 4-4 Window: 5-7 wins I see the 2021 Bobcats having another bowl season but not taking a big step up.  

The Redhawks will have to lean on a more experienced Gabbert under center to have a big 2021 as the offense is one more year older. Week 1: Cincinnati L  Week 2: Minnesota L Week 3: LIU W Week 4: Army L Week 5: Central Michigan L Week 6: Eastern Michigan W Week 7: Akron W Week 8: Ball State W Week 9: Ohio W Week 10: Buffalo W Week 11: Bowling Green W Week 12: Kent State W Overall: 8-4 MAC: 7-1 Window: 6-8 wins I see the 2021 Miami OH team going back to the MAC Championship Game.
