BOBCATS wins out and Miami loses we win MAC East title (BGSU, BSU,KSU)
KSU wins out they win MAC East (AU,Miami, BG, OHIO)
Miami wins out  and BGSU loses they win MAC East (Buff, KSU, CMU, BallState)
BGSU wins out the win MAC East (OHIO, KSU, Buff)

I think so.  The trouble is when no team wins out, then it gets messy.  And that is probably the most likely scenario.

Per Teamrankings, Kent has a 19% chance of winning out, BG has an 18% chance, Ohio has a 10% chance, and Miami has a 1% chance. Taken together that's about a 50% chance of a clean solution, leaving a 50% chance of a messy one.

But there's only a 5% chance of that.

What it means is that BG is a must-win game. If Ohio were to lose and beat BSU/KSU, there is little chance that BG would lose its last two. So Ohio would lose the tiebreaker to a 2-loss BG (or Miami team). The Miami loss basically eliminated any margin of error in the BG/BSU games. Ohio was always going to have to win at Kent State (IMO).

I need another double shot of something 90 proof - I got too much to think about.

Every game from here on OUt us a must win and trust me it will look that way.

If we win the next 3 it is payback time for Kent....they recently have beat us when the pressure was on us....now it's on them....let's see how they handle it.

All of these Wednesday and Thursday night games will be nice because we get the benefit of knowing what is ahead of us and then being able to sit back on Saturday and see how the competition lines up. Hoping for a slip up or two with the rest of the MAC East to give us some buffer room. I'd hate for a great season to be ruined by one terrible game.

And how's this to shake things up: If Kent loses to Akron and Fiami beats Buffalo, there'll be a four-way tie for first in the East with Ohio, Kent, BGSUcks and Fiami all at 4-1.  It's a longshot, but...

Or do you want something with 45% alcohol?
