#134 Akron
0-4 in Mid-American play, T-12th in the Mid-American
2026 season recap (through week 8)
Akron (Mid-American) is ranked 134th in The Davis Rankings after week 8 of 2026, with a record of 1-7 and a score of 12.7 out of 100. That is down 1 from week 7. That puts it in the Oh Crap tier (ranks 126 and below). Its strongest factor is opponent record at game time (31.2 out of 100). Its weakest is recent results (0.0 out of 100).
The wins so far have come against FCS opponents, which count for little in the formula, so the record is still waiting on a result against a fellow FBS team. The loss that stings most in the formula is the week 5 loss, 41-17 to #116 Central Michigan on the road.
Akron has lost its last 6 games in a row. On the road it is 0-5. The average margin is -13.8 points per game, with a biggest win of 35 points. 1 of 8 games was decided by a touchdown or less.
Akron is not ranked in the AP, Coaches, or CFP polls this week, while the Davis Rankings has it 134th.
Next up is #19 Ohio in week 10, at home. The toughest game left on the schedule by current rank is week 10 against #19 Ohio. 1 of the 4 games left are against teams currently in the top 25.
