So far this year Ohio hasn't lost back to back games. Akron is one of the coldest teams in the MAC at the moment. This week Ohio almost tied up CMU after a terrible first half. The chances of a team recovering from a half down 17-3 are very slim so to be close to doing so in the fourth shows grit. Its too good of a senior class to see a loss here.

Ohio beats Akron then goes north for the right to get assaulted by a bunch of oars. WMU is the standard for the MAC. My hope is that Ohio gets a nice share of the WMU cash from their bowl game.

I'm still waiting for the WMU-Toledo game to be played before counting any chickens re Cotton
bowl. You never know in the MAC.

If Wyoming loses to once beaten SDSU or to a decent New Mexico team then Boise St. should go to the MWC championship. There they would play SDSU while WMU played Ohio (hopefully). If both WMU and Boise St. claim conference titles I think Boise St. will finish ahead of WMU.

I don't know if it will matter in the end but WMU has to be a big fan of Colorado right now in the Washington State game. A win over a team that is unbeaten in Pac 12 play is what is making up for the Wyoming loss for Boise St. WMU might jump them back if that holds up and they get a win over Toledo next week which will add to the resume a bit more than a Boise St. win over a pretty decent Air Force team.

Wyoming is down four in the fourth to SDSU. If that holds up I think it puts WMU in serious jeopardy. Not only does it give Boise St. the lead in the division but it means they will play a 1-loss SDSU team in the title game. Adding Ohio and a MAC title to the resume while Boise adds SDSU and a MWC title (MWC is probably mot regarded by the committee better than the MAC by as much as most casual fans probably expect), IMO, is still not going to work out in WMU's favor. They need to root for Air Force next week.

Of course, as we all hope, Ohio could make all of this moot with an upset.

let me explain how this works-

MAC team goes on a once in a lifetime run- undefeated, ranked, national attention, etc. A big bowl (and big payout for the MAC) awaits, the only thing that stands in their way is a 7-5 team in Detroit. Guess what happens.

I like our chances.

This brings up a valid point, if Ohio takes care of business and makes it to Detroit, is WMU or Toledo a preferable match up?

I bet the MAC as a conference would not mind a 6-6 Miami Team going up against WMU in the MACC game. There are two teams in the conference that could pose a threat for WMU. Toledo and Ohio (playing up to our potential). Going back to back against the two top teams in the conference seems to be a recipe for an upset.
