This is why people should not get too confident just yet.

Miami is hot and only ONE game behind us. Yes we own the tiebreaker, but we have a couple tough games coming up, while Miami's 2 final games are easier in Buffalo and Ball St.

Unless my math is wrong, and it already has been once today. This only really matters if Bowling Green upsets Akron. With Miami and Akron losses it would be over before we next take the field. Otherwise we still need to win one of the remaining two to clinch no matter how this one ends.

If Fiami wins out they'll be 6-2. If we lose out we'll be 5-3. If Akron wins out they'll be 5-3. So this game is important.

Yes, it is important that it means that Miami can still win the division. But it is far more important to Miami and Akron's chances. Akron now needs Miami to lose to Buffalo or BSU. Akron having nothing to play for in the final week could even work to OUr advantage if we do lose to CMU. If Akron wins against Bowling Green then we are still in the same position that we would have been in anyway. We have to win another game.

Of course if BGSU beats Akron and Buffalo bets Miami it would still be over before we take the field next. But this game, in any scenario, was only relevant to Ohio if BGSU beats Akron.

I would much rather have played them after a win. They are going to be as mad as hornets when we play them, and they have more than a week to try to get back to the form they had when they beat Okie State.

Well, on the plus side, Miami's win helps Ohio's SOS a bit.
