O$U is ranked #36 with 3 votes. OHIO is ranked #38 with 1 vote tied with our opponent Rutgers. Both OHIO and Rutgers have a 7-3 record on the season.

how is Ohio the only MAC team with a votes? odd.

another oddity I just noticed is that So Miss is 9-1 with two games left to play against two 2-8 teams. Their sole loss was against Marshall. Can you imagine the only thing between you and a perfect season was a loss to the Terd? ouch.

OHIO has 7 wins tied with NIU for most in the MAC. NIU also has 7 wins but lost to CMU who OHIO beat so that may be the logic behind the vote.

just like last year when Toledo didn't get votes, it doesn't matter who you play in OOC, just win the games.

It would help if we actually beat a ranked team for once.

We would have to play one to beat one. I think it would help if we beat bad MAC teams (Buffalo) and win home games against good MAC teams (Ball State). This is a team that should be 9-1.

There, I corrected it for you!  

Anyone who was at the Rutgers game knows that we should have won that one, except for a few very untimely fumbles that lead to easy Rutger's scores.  One of those fumbles was a dropped punt by Brazil that was picked up and run to the one-yard line where the Rutger's player fumbled it as he was being tackled right into the hands of another Rutgers' player who went in for the TD.  That was a game less won by Rutgers and more lost by Ohio, with a little help from the officials who called defensive pass interference on one crucial play that was the most obvious offensive pass interference I've ever seen and it was right in front of me.  One of the few plays that I could see well all day.  Frank was also furious at the call.
