The season began on Thursday, September 2, with five games: Ball State hosted Southeast Missouri State, Central Michigan hosted Hampton, Kent State hosted Murray State, Buffalo hosted Rhode Island, and Northern Illinois traveled to Ames, Iowa to face Iowa State. The conference's other eight teams began their respective 2010 seasons of NCAA Division I FBS (Football Bowl Subdivision) competition on Friday, September 3, and Saturday, September 4. The first in-conference game was September 9, with Temple hosting Central Michigan. The 2010 MAC Championship Game featured the Northern Illinois Huskies and the Miami RedHawks, held December 3, at Ford Field in Detroit. Miami defeated Northern Illinois 26–21 on a 33-yard pass from Austin Boucher to Armand Robinson for a touchdown with 33 seconds remaining in regulation.Final Gamebook, December 3, 2010 Four MAC teams were invited to post-season bowl games, with conference champion Miami, West Division champion Northern Illinois, West Division runner-up Toledo, and East Division runner-up Ohio getting bids. The only bowl-eligible schools not to receive invitations were Western Michigan (6–6) and Temple (8–4), the latter being the first team with a winning record to be passed over for a team with a .500 record under an NCAA rule change. Conference realignment The Mid-American Conference was entirely left out of the 2010 NCAA conference realignment, with no school entering or leaving the conference. There was some speculation that football-only member Temple was under consideration to become a football-only member of the Big East Conference.http://news.collegesportsinfo.com/2010/11/big-east-approves-expansion-goal-of-10.html Big East Approves Expansion Goal of 10 Teams 2010-11-02 Peloquin Matt CollegeSportsInfo.com 2010-12-20 https://web.archive.org/web/20101107042256/http://news.collegesportsinfo.com/2010/11/big-east-approves-expansion-goal-of-10.html 7 November 2010 live After being rebuffed by the Big East in November,http://archive.boston.com/sports/colleges/football/articles/2010/12/02/umass_still_deciding_on_best_move/ 2010-12-02 The Boston Globe 2010-12-20 Blaudschun Mark UMass still deciding on best move Overtures were made on behalf of UMass to the Big East when the conference announced last month that it was adding two teams. The answer was a polite "not really interested." the University of Massachusetts Amherst Minutemen are expected to become a football-only member starting in the fall of 2013, following a two-year transition from the Football Championship Subdivision to the Football Bowl Subdivision. The arrangement is expected to be similar to Temple's, with UMass required to schedule certain numbers of non-conference games in other sports against MAC schools.http://archive.boston.com/sports/colleges/football/articles/2010/12/17/umass_expected_to_move_to_fbs/ UMass expected to move to FBS 2010-12-17 2010-12-20 The Boston Globe Blaudschun Mark Nothing can be made official until September, when a moratorium ends preventing FCS schools from jumping to the FBS. After that, UMass would need to go through a two-year transition period before it could be officially admitted to the MAC for the 2013 season...Ideally, the MAC would like to have UMass and Temple join the conference in all sports. But Temple balked at leaving the Atlantic 10, which is a much higher-profile basketball league than the MAC, and UMass agrees. As a compromise for joining in football only, UMass, like Temple, will be required to schedule a certain number of nonconference games against MAC schools in other sports over the next several years. Preseason Preseason poll The 2010 MAC Preseason poll results were announced at the Football Media Preview in Detroit on July 30. In the West Division, Northern Illinois was picked as champion, while Temple was picked to win the East Division and the MAC Championship Game.http://mac-sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=42968&SPID=3802&DB_OEM_ID=9400&ATCLID=204972068 2010-07-30 2010-09-18 MAC Announces 2010 Football Preseason Poll Mid-American Conference https://web.archive.org/web/20160131210146/http://mac-sports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?SPSID=42968&SPID=3802&DB_OEM_ID=9400&ATCLID=204972068 2016-01-31 dead East Division Temple – 137 points; 17 first-place votes Ohio – 116 points; 3 first-place votes Kent State – 94 points Bowling Green – 74 points Miami – 53 points Buffalo – 48 points Akron – 38 points West Division Northern Illinois – 115 points; 15 first-place votes Central Michigan – 83 points; 3 first-place votes Western Michigan – 77 points; 2 first-place votes Toledo – 75 points Ball State – 50 points Eastern Michigan – 20 points MAC Championship Three votes were not cast for any team.
