This year, it is bowl-certain. 5 tie-ins. The MAC would have to have 6 teams at 7+ wins. Not happening this year. Our 6th (and MAYBE 7th) best team will have 6 wins. 6-6 teams by rule can't trump 7+ win teams for a bowl.

todd... 6 wins does not guarantee ANYONE a bowl game. I'm telling you... we need 7 wins just to be safe and lock it up.

No Sh!t -- read what I said. :)

"This year, it is bowl-certain. 5 tie-ins." (7 wins)

"The MAC would have to have 6 teams at 7+ wins. Not happening this year." (in order to have any 7+ win team at Risk as was said originally)

"Our 6th (and MAYBE 7th) best team will have 6 wins. 6-6 teams by rule can't trump 7+ win teams for a bowl." (meaning that a 6-6 team can't trump a 7-win team)

Since there's 5 tie-ins, and there's ONLY going to be 5 7-win teams in the MAC -- it's more than "almost" -- it's certain, is what I'm saying. :) Because a 6-6 team (Akron and/or Ohio) can't trump us or any other 7-win MAC team for a bowl.
