2022 MAC Football TV/Streaming Primer: Saturday, Oct. 15

Separation Saturday is officially here.

With Ball State and Buffalo wrapping up their respective non-conference slates, the remaining 10 Mid-American programs look to move forward and establish their credibility in their division races, as just this week and next remain on the primary weekend slates before November weeknight #MACtion.

There are already several teams in vital need of a win to keep their heads above water, as Akron, CMU and NIU all sit at 1-5 and one more loss puts them in the perilous position of missing out on a bowl game. BGSU, Kent State and WMU all need a win to right their ships as well, as they all sit at 2-4 and could use some encouraging results to keep their postseason hopes afloat.

Meanwhile, Toledo has a chance to expand upon their dominating 3-0 margin in league play and possibly top the tables in the conference overall since Buffalo is in non-conference play.

It’s a day full of intrigue for MAC football diehards. Here’s the full slate of times, channels and odds below:
