Every week with pretty few marquee Top 25 video games, the Broncos, and bruising tailback Jarvion Franklin will host Buffalo (2-8, 1-five) in a 3:30 p.M. Saturday recreation ESPNU. WMU joins No. 1 Alabama as the most effective undefeated group in the main College Football ranks. Fleck has the Broncos on course to grow to be the primary MAC crew to go

undefeated within the regular season because then-No. 12 Ball State finished the normal season 12-zero in 2008 before dropping to Buffalo in the MAC Championship recreation. The ultimate MAC team to go undefeated and win a MAC Championship was Marshall (thirteen-0) in 1999. Miami came near in 2003 while the RedHawks completed 13-1. Each Marshall and Miami completed the season ranked No. 10 within the kingdom. The Broncos are tracking to try this and greater.

WMU can be 12-zero going into a MAC title sport with two more victories against the MAC East Division winner. Should the Broncos remain undefeated, they’ll play in a new Yr’s Day bowl sport, the Cotton Bowl, really worth a $6 million payday to the MAC. That has no longer happened because in 2012 when Northern Illinois won the MAC Championship and was superior to the Orange Bowl. That game marked the first time two nationally-ranked MAC teams (No. 17 Kent Nation, No. 21 NIU) played for a MAC identify.
