6/13/2015

 
Picture
Cleveland, Ohio – The Mid-American Conference has announced an updated version of the 2015 football schedule, with kick times and television for the first three weeks of the regular season and much of the midweek October and November games slated for national television distribution. All remaining game kick times and television will be announced 12 days prior to the scheduled games.

Highlighting the schedule will be 16 midweek nationally televised games during the months of October and November slated for national television on ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPN3 and CBS Sports Network as the conference race unfolds in both the East and West divisions.  

The regular season will conclude with the 19th Marathon MAC Football Championship game on Friday, Dec. 4 at 8:00 pm ET at Ford Field in Detroit on ESPN2.  This will mark the 12th Marathon MAC Football Championship game at Ford Field, home of the Detroit Lions, Super Bowl XL, and the 2009 NCAA Men’s Final Four.
 
For the eighth year in a row, league schools will face a formidable non-conference slate of opponents from the following Football Bowl Subdivision conferences – ACC, Big Ten, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC and Notre Dame. In addition, the conference will also face opponents from the American Athletic Conference, Conference USA, Mountain West Conference, Sun Belt Conference and Independent Army.  


MAC programs will face five non-conference foes that finished in the final AP Top 25 poll: Ohio State (1), Michigan State (5), Wisconsin (13), Marshall (23) and Memphis (25).  MAC programs will twice face National Champion Ohio State as NIU plays in Columbus on Sept. 19 and Western Michigan on Sept. 26.  Also, Western Michigan will host Michigan State in its season opener on Friday, Sept. 4 at Waldo Stadium in Kalamazoo, Mich.
