RE: MAC Game Day Week 8
So who in the MAC thought it was fair to make Akron play three games in 11 days? Two road games in five days, followed by six days until Toledo at home.

Call stands. 1st down Akron. Not enough good camera angles to tell either way.

Toledo also plays 3 games in 12 days (it's 12, not 11)

I do.
Ball State is down 3 right now and should have been tied.
You play to win the game. That's why Akron went for it on 4th and 1 at midfield instead of punting. Hindsight is 20/20. Earlier in the game they went for and converted a 4th and 1. Didn't see you complain about that call.

RE: MAC Game Day Week 8
MAC East is officially a two team race.
Ohio:
Tied w/ Akron
2 game edge w/ 4 to go on Miami
3 game edge w/ 4 to go on Kent
3 game edge w/ 4 to go on Buffalo
4 game edge w/ 4 to go on Bowling Green
Akron:
Tied w/ Ohio
2 game edge w/ 4 to go on Miami
3 game edge w/ 4 to go on Kent
3 game edge w/ 4 to go on Buffalo
3 game edge w/ 4 to go on Bowling Green
Both are taking care of business in the MAC East.
Both have Toledo and Buffalo left on the schedule. One game very tough, one game very easy.
Then Akron plays BG and Ohio plays CMU. Akron has the edge here.
But it doesn't matter so long as Ohio is no more than 1 game back going into the final game of the season against Akron in Peden Stadium...

EMU scores a late 4th quarter TD. Gives the Eagles 31 points and ties them with Georgia Southern's 31 as the most points scored against WMU all season.
WMU 45-31

WMU 45 - EMU 31, Final
Great to see EMU doing so well. The MAC West is poised to be ridiculously competitive these next few years.

WMU should be moving up at least one spot in the rankings with #17 Arkansas probably losing to Auburn.

Toledo also plays 3 games in 12 days (it's 12, not 11)
Ohio also plays 3 games in 12 days, and also plays 2 road games in 5 days. The difference is Akron's short rest 2nd road game is @Buffalo and Ohio's is @Toledo.

Not sure what's more sad, how bad NIU has been this season or how bad a 1-6 team beat a 1-5 team.
