Holly Anderson says every college football fan should back a MAC team.

UMass was ranked 9th in the MAC in the latest APR stats by the NCAA. Coaching changes usually cause a lot of transfer/leaving, which can affect a school's APR. Coach Molnar seems to be a disciplinarian on academics, so UMass' score should improve.

The Group of Five Conference are looking into new destinations for bowl games. Many of them are in warm weather locations, so hopefully Coach Molnar will provide a long weekend in Florida or California for UMass fans some time in the not-too-distant future.

Orlando in December?

Will Boston College and UConn schedule a series? A UMass-BC-UConn Cup would a winner for all the schools. It's a money saving bus trip for all three schools and a chance to bring your fan base to two local games.

Speaking of UConn, USA Today says they're #92.

UMass fans planning to make the trip to Wisconsin will visit maybe the best college football town in America.
