The MAC is back and due to start on a Wednesday night, which is perfect for MACtion. According to Reddit, only 3 of the 130 FBS schools won't try to play this fall- UConn, New Mexico State and Old Dominion.

I think they should have just changed it to a certain winning percentage. I get that conferences are playing such a varying number of games and its just an odd season. I mean, a 5-2 PAC12 team should be bowl eligible right? When in other seasons you have to have six wins.
But, a 2-8 SEC team? No.Go GSC and Roar LIONS!!

I've watched thousands of football games in my life and something happened in the Auburn Arkansas game I have never seen before.
Auburn is down 28-27 with the ball about 30 seconds left, ball is on the Arkansas 28, no timeouts clock is ticking. Auburn QB fumbles the snap picks it up and spikes the ball to stop the clock. Some confusion ensues but there is no whistle, ball squirts around then just as an Arkansas player picks up the ball, refs blow whistle, and flag is thrown.
The flag- Intentional grounding! So since the snap was fumbled, I guess that takes away the right of the qb to spike the ball, and Arkansas players were pressuring the qb. So, they announce a 10 second run-off in addition to the grounding. BUT THAT'S NOT THE MOST CONTROVERSIAL PART! When the Auburn QB picked up the ball, he was facing backwards and spiked the ball BACKWARDS... CLEARLY- not even close to a forward spike. So, they do a booth review and the play stands.
Auburn lines up for FG with 10 second runoff and Auburn kicks FG as time runs out.
Arkansas got hosed. That should have been ruled a backward pass.

I didn't see the play, but if the pass was backwards, isn't it a free ball? It's not a forward pass. Or is there some rule that's different for intent to spike? Sounds like Arkansas did get jobbed.

I never have figured out why spiking the ball isn't intentional grounding. Just another rule to help the offense. Don't use all of your timeouts. Or else have a clock keeper like Illinois had back in 1993 when they scored late to beat the Gophers. QB took a shotgun snap, was pressured, threw incomplete across the middle. One second came off of the clock.
