Assuming BG finishes fourth, Ohio would win the tiebreaker as Temple and Miami have both lost to BG.

I personally root for whatever team can ruin our competitions' chances of a Division title. I enjoyed watching Kent beat BG last week and would be perfectly fine if we already had the title locked up and beating Miami was icing on the cake. I understand, though, how beating the Redhawks with the East Division at stake would inflict further pain upon Miami's fanbase.

Win out. All ties will be broken.

There is no way for a tie at 6-2, so for there to be a tie, it has to be at 5-3. So, let's assume for the moment that the Bobcats lose exactly one more.

1. If the loss is to CMU, but Ohio beats BG and Miami, then Ohio would most likely end up tied with the winner of the Miami-Temple game. In either 2-way tie, Ohio would win. BG would be out, but Kent could create a 3-way tie, Ohio-Kent-Miami if they win out, and Miami beats Temple. Ohio wins the 3-way tiebreaker as well. Thus, if Ohio loses to CMU, but wins out, Ohio still is MAC East champ.

2. If Ohio loses to BG, but beats CMU and Miami, the likely tie would be a 2-way tie with Miami/Temple winner, which Ohio wins. BG could also be in the tie, and you could even have a 4-way tie, Ohio-BG-Miami-Kent.
a. 3-way Ohio-Miami-BG  - BG wins tiebreaker
b. 3-way Ohio-Temple-BG - BG wins tiebreaker
c. 4-way Ohio-Miami-BG-Kent - Kent and Miami are eliminated, then BG wins tiebreaker
Thus, we want BG to lose to NIU, or we could be rooting for Beefs to upset BG.

3. If Ohio beats CMU and BG, and then loses to Miami, a 6-2 Miami is the champ, so for a tie, Miami would also have to lose to either WMU or Temple.
a. Say Miami lost to Temple, then beats Ohio, you could get a 3-way Miami-Temple-Ohio tie. First tiebreaker is a wash, so you move to the second one. Second tiebreaker also a wash, with all at 4-2 in division. Then you look at teams played from the west, and Ohio is out - it becomes a comparison of Ball State or WMU to decide between Temple and Miami, with Miami winning only if WMU ends with a better record than Ball State.
b. Say Miami beats Temple, but loses to WMU, then beats Ohio. You can have a 2-way tie, which Miami wins, or a three way tie, Kent-Miami-Ohio, which again Miami wins.
c. Note that in obscure possible finishes, you could have Ohio lose to Miami, but Miami lose to both Temple and WMU, you can get a tie between Ohio and Temple, which Ohio wins. You can also, believe it or not, get a tie between Ohio and Kent, which Ohio also wins.

The conclusion of all this madness is that unless Miami loses to both WMU and Temple, Ohio will have to beat Miami for the MAC East championship. Ohio can lose one of the others, and still be the champion, unless the loss is to BG, and BG also beats NIU and Buffalo.

Note - yes- you could have some bizarre finishes with ties at 4-4, but it isn't likely, and I don't even want to go there....

Hmm,  I can see how that might be what they intended, and your interpretations matches what Ted said. That would change only one case, but an important one. The one that would change is the case where Temple beats Miami, and then Miami beats Ohio, after an Ohio win against BG and CMU. Under your interpretation, Ohio wins the tiebreaker in that case. With that change, then it is possible that Ohio could wrap up the East with a win over CMU and BG, combined with a Miami loss to Temple.

How about what the schedule-makers did to BG? They don't face Akron and get Toledo/WMU/NIU from the West.

Ohio clearly has the upper hand in this East race with the head-to-head win over Temple. Miami has a tough slate of Temple, WMU and Ohio to get through, three of the top 5 teams in the conference. Miami has to play at Temple and at Ohio. Last year down the stretch Miami had to play BG, Akron and Temple at home. Its going to be a much taller order for Miami to get it done this time around.

Yes . . . provided BG, who we beat remains ahead of Buffalo, who we didn't, in the final standings.  And since we have to beat BG for this scenario to work, that will come down to the final game between BG and Buffalo.

So, let's just win 'em all.

Correct.
