  What do players and coaches think of preseason predictions? Not a whole lot. Of course, the games aren't played on paper. If they were, Toledo would have won about five Mid-American Conference titles in the past decade. Alas, the Rockets have a single championship. But this season could be different - according to what's on paper. The MAC's media contingent handed Toledo six of 24 first-place votes, second only to defending champion Northern Illinois' nine. Phil Steele, college football's most accurate prognosticator, picked UT to finish 10-2.

ESPN's David Hale said the Rockets are the best over/under bet in the sport, advising prospective bettors to take the over on eight wins. The ESPN power index favors Toledo to win all eight of its MAC games. "I see it every year," senior linebacker Dyontae Johnson said. "It doesn't really mean anything. I think it's just something to put on paper for fans to see. At the end of the day, when the ball snaps on September 1, we'll see who's there." Head coach Jason Candle is not one to play up expectations, taking the opposite approach and lessening the pressure on his team. He would rather have Toledo picked to finish in the middle of the pack than see headlines about 10 wins. But Candle appreciates that high expectations are reserved for programs with rabid fan bases and a history of winning. The last thing he wants to hear is that Toledo is favored to run the table in the MAC. - Toledo Blade
