Quote:TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — The season opening contest between Stony Brook and Toledo was canceled due to severe weather on Thursday night.
The first-half weather delays totaled three hours and, after a shortened halftime, the game was stopped just before the third-quarter kickoff. It was called off after midnight.
According to a Toledo release, "The game will not be replayed and is officially listed as 'no contest.' Stats from the game will not count."
Toledo held a 16-7 lead after two quarters.
Will this effect the MAC standings in the event of a tie?
Will this effect bowl selection?
1st question: MAC standings were there before the game and they will still be there today, even though the game was cancelled.
2nd Question: This will not cause any team to invited to a bowl game at this point in the season. That will happen much later.
Games do matter

From the link I posted earlier in the thread:
1. Head-to-head competition
a. In the event of a multiple-team (two or more teams) tie, the team with the best head-to-head record amongst the tied teams wins the tie-breaker.
b. In a two-team tie, head-to-head competition will be the first criteria.
c. If two teams did not play, the second criteria is used to break the tie.
2. Record of tied teams within the division [versus rank order, highest to lowest, of division teams]
a. The above tie-breaker procedure is used to determine rank order in the division.
b. Team(s) eliminated in the second tie-breaker criterion are not included in further consideration in the tie- breaking formula.
c. Head-to-head competition is again used to break the tie between the remaining tied teams.
3. Comparison of conference winning percentage of cross-over opponents of tied teams.
a. Tie-breaker is awarded to the team whose cross-division opponents had the best cumulative conference winning percentage.
b. Head-to-head competition is used to break the tie between the two tied teams.
4. If multiple teams remain tied, the final tie-breaker is as follows:
a. Record of tied teams versus cross-division opponents in rank order.
b. Head-to-head competition is used to break the tie between the two tied teams.
Of course no bowl invites are going out. But removing a weak team may increase SOS
