Ladies and gentlemen!  Welcome to this week's edition of 15 Minute U.  Join Evan and Matt in their discussion of the midwest college football landscape after the completion of week 14 of the 2020 season.  The brothers attempt to spice up what was a mostly "chalk weekend" for the BIG ten and MAC as they debate the "best winless MAC team" and recast The Wedding Crashers using college football coaches.  Sitting idle during week 14 due to increased positive COVID cases, the Northwestern wildcats have clinched a spot in the 2020 BIG championship which appears to be a rematch of 2018 against the Ohio State Buckeyes, assuming The Game remains on schedule this week.  In MACtion, Eastern Michigan upends an undefeated season for rival Western, while conference favorite, Buffalo also sat idle due to COVID, but did join the party of top 25 ranked teams in the AP Poll for the first time in school history.  Congratulations Bulls!  Tune for this discussion and more, including our vaunted pick 'em round.  No matter what you do, don't pick 'em like my brother.
