It does it states BCS ranking will not be available until week 8 2016. The terms are still used interchangeably, so we are playing semantics.
PLAYOFF IMPLICATIONS
The Broncos, ranked No. 21 in the latest College Football Playoff rankings , are looking to stay in contention for a BCS bowl bid and extend their overall win streak to 13, dating to last season. Western Michigan, which had never won 10 games in a season before, needs to win its final two regular-season games and the MAC championship to have a chance at a major bowl.
HIGH PRAISE
Despite Buffalo's record this season, Fleck believes the future is bright for coach Lance Leipold and his Bulls, who have lost two straight. Buffalo finished 5-7 last season.
"Lance Leipold is one of the best coaches in the country, based on his track record, and they play so hard for him," Fleck said. "We're going to expect nothing different. We're going to get their A-plus game, we know that."
LOPSIDED STATS
Western Michigan, led by senior quarterback Zach Terrell, senior receiver Corey Davis and junior running back Jarvion Franklin, has the MAC's best scoring offense at 44.4 points per game, while Buffalo is last at 17.9. The Broncos also have the top scoring defense at 19.5 points per game, while the Bulls are 10th at 32.3.
"Our margin of error is very small right now and we have to find a way to overcome that," Leipold said. "Our team is still going through growing pains, but I'm very proud of the way we compete. We have the biggest challenge of the year this Saturday."
NO LETDOWN
Fleck doesn't expect his players to overlook Buffalo with a huge matchup looming Nov. 25 against Toledo (8-2, 5-1).
"We're going to get everybody's A-plus game," Fleck said. "When you play your B-minus game or C-plus game, and somebody plays their A-plus game, it's going to be a dogfight. Elite teams find ways to win games in different ways."
