Wins in their next game guarantees the last week will be for the division title. Good luck to all four teams, and may Marshall and USM play for the Conference Title Game. I noticed all four teams have their bye in November.

Ya'll are headed for a showdown aren't you. That is going to be something special to watch.
Here's to a rematch of LA Tech @ WKU.

Interesting...kind of like our own in-house playoff. It goes without saying we have to take care of business first but it will be a fun way to close out the season.
Massey Ratings:
43. WKU
55. Marshall
56. La Tech
78. Southern Miss
* Massey gives WKU a 65% chance of beating Marshall, and Tech a 79% chance of beating USM.
Sagarin Ratings:
52. WKU
59. La Tech
84. Marshall
88. Southern Miss
* Sagarin has WKU favored by 12 vs Marshall, and Tech favored by 11 vs USM.
** WKU would be a 5 point favorite to beat Tech at WKU for the championship.
It is nice to be in the discussions again....
I hope it's USM & Marshall.
I hope for a title game rematch of Tech @ Marshall.
This was setup by some perfect scheduling. Seriously good work by the league office.
I would rather Tech face Marshall than WKU. Our biggest weakness is pass defense.
I just don't know. Every week, I feel better and better about our chances against WKU. I think it will be a close game. Our teams just seem like they will cancel each other out. Should be for the East.
If Marshall loses at MTSU and beats WKU, would Marshall play at Tech (assuming we win out)?

You would have to be ahead of us in the top 5 computer ranking averages. I think that is how it is anyway. Beating WKU should give us a boost.
Congrats on USM for the great season that they are having so far. It will be very good game in Ruston.
Will Marshall be able to do the unthinkable that WKU did to them a year ago? It will be another great game for us to witness.
Marshall has the #1 defense in the conference and you know the old saying.... (USM is #2, Tech is #3, WKU is #10).
But Marshall has the worst Strength of Schedule at #151 (followed by USM at #144, then Tech at #106, and WKU at #105).
They are all pretty evenly matched, imo. It's going to be very interesting.

Its not nearly that big of a gap this year. Unthinkable was WKU on the road beating an undefeated top 20 team. Us beating WKU this season would not be much of a shock at all.
