BTW, we haven't had a terrible loss in conference. Frustrating, YES. Terrible no.
We probably have played the toughest within conference schedule to date. BUT will get easier soon. He have only played one game vs. a team with 3 or fewer MAC wins. CMU was our only easy opponent to date.
If I have done my math correctly, our MAC opponents through last night are a +11 games within conference.*
I did this by checking the standings of every MAC team we've played (including Akron and BG x 2 each).
Akron (+5 x 2 games), Ohio (+3), UB (+3), MIA (+1), BG (-1, x 2), WMU (+3) CMU (-7).

If one wishes to eliminate our games vs. these opponents, every MAC team we've played, except CMU, would have a non-losing conference record (BG would have a winning record except for their two losses to us and MIA would be .500 without their win over us.).
I want to see what we can do vs. KSU, CMU, NIU, etc. where 3 of the 4 games vs. them will be at home.
I'm now expecting us to finsih 10 - 8, down from 11 - 7.
