Ohio could lose every game this regular season against Akron, Toledo, EMU and Buffalo and still finish with a 21-10 record by taking care of business. On the other side of the coin a MAC regular season championship with a 14-4 record could put the Cats on the bubble for the NCAAs going into Cleveland considering we have to play Toledo twice. As it is Ohio is projected to finish 13-5 with an RPI of 50 to tie for the MAC Title. An extra win on top of that and a good loss in the MAC Semis or Finals gets us pretty close.
What is our record against Top 50 RPI Teams?
0-2 (UMASS, OSU), with Toledo (x2) and EMU to come.
We beat Richmond (62) and Mercer (68).
