Well that was kind of nice to think bigger than a bowl game for a minute. Still need to get one more win and hope there are eight or less MAC teams that are bowl eligible so we don't have to sweat it out.

Bowl eligible
Toledo (6-3)

Need one more wins
Buffalo
Ohio
Eastern Michigan

Need two more wins
Ball State
Bowling Green
Miami

Need three more wins
Kent State
Western Michigan

Need four more wins
Northern Illinois
Central Michigan

Eliminated
Akron

The Saturday games are mostly over and we'll start the mid-week games this week. This isn't who I think will win, rather who I think we should hope wins to help our own bowl hopes.

Tuesday
BSU@KSU: I'll go with Ball State. That would put Kent State on the brink and they might be out of the picture by time we play them.

Buffalo@Ohio: This is a huge game for the MAC-east. Both teams are 5-3 and will most likely get to six wins. I'm gonna say we cheer for Buffalo just because it looks like Ohio has a harder schedule so maybe they just won't win again, but really this game doesn't matter much to us.

Wednesday
CMU@NIU: Hmm...the loser of this one is out. So do we want NIU out since we still play CMU and can eliminate them ourselves or take CMU out now so they have nothing to play for when we play them? Tough call, but I think we want CMU to win, my reason being, that knocks out NIU then CMU plays Buffalo next week and probably knocks them out. So hopefully CMU has nothing to play for that Friday after Thanksgiving.

WMU@BG: I'll go with Bowling Green. That would put Western on the brink of being eliminating.
