Will Buffalo or Ball State be stealing headlines again this fall? Will Turner Gill show the world that UB was not a flash in the pan last year? These questions and more will be answered when the Mid-American Conference (MAC), takes the field, and these are the games that will be on television.

The MAC will get its best exposure the first 3 weeks of the season as there will be 12 games against teams from the Big Ten and Big East. Another very interesting, seemingly unlikely, matchup has Colorado playing AT Toledo on Friday, September 11. Since when does a Big 12 team travel to take on a MAC opponent?
