Bye Week - NIU

All eyes will be on a key MAC game, BG at Kent. This is probably the best shot for a a BG loss. If they win this one, there is little chance Ohio can lose to BG and still win the East.

In other games, this doesn't look like a week that is likely to produce any BCS upsets, and meanwhile there are three games where the MAC might lose to FCS schools. The MAC is favored in the two mid-major matchups, but not by much.

Gotta think that Ball State line grows a bit before kickoff.

Ugly results for the MAC. BG isn't likely to be tested again until Ohio, and Ohio is going to have to improve a lot to accomplish that. In OOC games, only Toledo, Ball State, and Ohio cover.

Mac goes 2-2 versus FCS (0-4 against the spread). It could have been worse - CMU was down 21-7 in the fourth before coming back to win by 3, and Akron trailed most of their game.
