With the regular season on the verge of ending, Akron has a tight grip on the number one ranking this year. The question that is being asked is; can they one up last years Wake Forest team and go the whole regular season undefeated & then win the National Title?

It will be a tough task, many fans question the conference and how easy it is, but this team is full of great potential in Zarek Valentin and Kofi Sarkodie that if they fail to win the championship this year, they will win it the following year. The one thing that could stop this from happening is if the MLS poach star Teal Bunbury.  In the next few days I will be examining if in fact taking the Generation Adidas contract would be the best move for Bunbury.
