Can’t visualize something that doesn’t exist. The MAC offices have to be dreading the thought. May have to call in a few fixes to at least get some of the draws there

Bingo. There's already a buzz about just that prospect.

I hate to be Debbie Downer, but I hate this draw. I would much rather have played in BG, which I believe is what would have happened had WMU prevailed over CMU. I know the stat guys will tell me that "there's no such thing as the difficult-to-beat-the-same-team-three-times-in-one-year jinx. But, playing the same team back to back, both at their home arena, is the recipe for less than a desirable outcome. I will gladly eat a full plate of crow if OHIO wins this one. But, color me worried.

So Akron had the lowest odds of making it to the quarterfinals? Got it.
