I'm not writing off the bowl game, but I got to thinking about next year's schedule.

The OOC games are:
Howard(7-4; Cam Newton's little brother is their QB)
@UVA (6-6 with a bowl game left)
@Cincy (4-8)
UMass (4-7 with a game left)

The home MAC games are:
Akron, BG, Buffalo and one West team

The road MAC games are:
Kent, Fiami and two West teams

The West schedule might not automatically flip to the three we didn't play this year because Toledo and BG play each year. That screws up the rotation. So, we might play either CMU or EMU plus two of BSU, NIU and WMU. My guess is we would play CMU again, since we have two road games vs the West next year and we played CMU at home this year. We've also played BSU just once in the last five years, so they would likely to be on our schedule.

MAC has to keep a certain amount of games for late Oct/Nov for that absurd weeknight TV deal .... something to keep in mind.
