The Kent St. Golden Flashes play in Kent Ohio and participate in the MAC. That is all I really know about them of the top of my head.

Ok, I lied. I looked up the city they play in. I can unsympathetically summarize this program's history by stating that they trail there rival, Akron, 20-27-1 in the all time series. Their status in the FBS has changed as often as the NCAA changes names of this collection of top teams. They have played in the FBS since 1983, when it was still Division 1-A.

If the pattern continues, the FBS will change their name and requirements to exclude teams like Kent State, and Kent State will find a way to get their name back in the pot.

Head Coach: Doug Martin (Seventh Year)
Offensive Coordinator: Jerry McManus? (Sixth Year)
Defensive Coordinator: Pete Rekstis (Seventh Year)

A look at Kent State's actual BCS numbers over the past few years next.

So, how do the Golden Flashs' look in the numbers used by the BCS to compare conferences?

Not exactly a football power these past few years.

 Schedule:

Seriously thought, Toledo, Bowling Green and Miami (Ohio) all on the road in the same year is a tough road by MAC standards. The upside is more home games against teams they might garner a bowl berth with.
