Huge hurdle cleared by Toledo, 22-4 and an RPI around 29 with this remaining:
vs Ball St (1-12)
@ Northern Ill (6-7)
vs Western Mich (10-3)
@ Central Mich (2-11)
vs Eastern Mich (7-6)
Then probably versus 1 or 2 top 100 RPI teams in the Semis and/or Championship.
If they get thru those 5 (not a complete cake walk but they will be solid favorites in each) and go into the MAC tourney 27-4, I am telling you they are IN...even if they lose in the semis. I'll be rooting for them hard the next 5.
But of course, often lost in the discussion of at-large hopes is they actually have to not win the conference championship for this to matter.
