MAC football preseason poll: Toledo 2nd, BGSU 3rd behind favorite Miami
CANTON — If the University of Toledo needed any motivation for the 2024 football season, it arrived on Friday in the form of the Mid-American Conference preseason coaches poll. Miami is the favorite, followed by Toledo, Bowling Green, and Northern Illinois. The RedHawks and Rockets were the only teams to receive first-place votes — nine for Miami and three for UT. BGSU and Northern were tied for the third. “I don’t pay attention to that stuff,” Toledo senior safety Maxen Hook said. “I feel like the MAC’s pretty fluid anyway. It really doesn’t matter what the coaches think. It’s going to come down to who can play ball, and we always find that out in the middle of the year. “I figured that we weren’t going to be the favorite, considering we didn’t win the championship last year. We know what we have to do. We know what we have to do to get back. We know how we fell short last year. We’ve already got plenty of motivation to get back to where we want to be.”
