Has a MAC team ever been favored against a Big Ten opponent?

[toastedbread01]

Has it occurred multiple times? What was the year, who were the teams, what was the spread, etc.? Any links or what direction would I go to find this info?

All info is appreciated.

Bowling Green was favored over MInnesota earlier this year. at Covers.com you can find team stats and previous lines.

No, when the MAC has solid players like Moss, Rothelesburger, etc, the Big 10 was top conference in the Nation.

Ah forgot about Minny... they were awful last year.
I can't think of any prior to that though. Will Covers.com go back to the early 90's, etc.?

Back to 85-86. Minny was a road dog 3 weeks ago at BG.

Thanks a lot!

What does that tell you about the Northwestern and Minnesota programs.

Even though I will be taking a shot with the Minnesota ML tomorrow.

Not even Indiana has been an underdog against a MAC team. They had something like a 40 game winning streak against MAC teams prior to the game against BSU. This all may change when they are a dog against CMU.
