We needed Kent to knock off Ball State and they found a way to lose at the end

I don't understand this logic? Hoping they would lose another MAC game that wasn't NIU? Because if we win out, all we need is BSU to lose to NIU. No other help needed.
That would just put us in a 3 way tie. Who wins? If ball state loses a random mac game and niu, if we win out we win the division
And what if niu stumbles against someone besides us, then our onnnnly chance is if ball state loses 2 games

That makes more sense, but Toledo wins the three way tie because it goes to east opponent win percentage, and buffalo and BG lock that up. We don't play UMASS or Miami.

I wouldn't bank on the NIU loss, they still get it done week to week. CMU is probably the only chance for that to happen.

I am fighting for the three way tie, with three west teams only losing one game it looks best on the conference.
What is the tie breaker if we all win out and it's a three way tie? Games vs. the East? BG is Tough and we still have Buffalo, yikes, they are playing well.

Win % of the teams in the east. So Buffalo at 5-3, BG at 6-2, and Akron at 2-6 would be 13-11 for 54%.

Kent, UMASS, Miami and Akron whatever combo NIU or BSU plays them will not beat our crossover schedule.
