Not that it's saying a whole lot, but this is probably the most exciting MAC game in years. Al Golden took over a Temple team that literally was kicked out of the Big East for being so terrible. Golden comes in, and in his third year (2008) wins more than four games there for the first time in 18 years. Now he has them at 9-2 and undefeated in the MAC.
Ohio has exceeded just about all expectations this season. They're 8-3 overall, with only one loss being by double digits (23-34 in a pretty good showing at Tennessee, where they were 21-point underdogs). They're 6-1 in the conference.
