If I was a betting man, I would say we finish out 5-3 the rest of the way to finish up 8-4 safely securing that. Saying that, after watching that gross CMU-WMU game, I think we have a good as shot as anyone to win our division. I think we beat CMU and Ball St. and lose a tight one to WMU. (Either way I figure we win 2 out of the next 3).

Honestly we should 100% expect to win the next two games, neither opponent is very good. We, like Lions fans, have just adjusted our expectations to a lower level than they truly need to be.

We just got outplayed by a FCS team after a long weather break but we WON the game, much like Clemson survived North Carolina this weekend. Winners win and losers often console themselves with the effort that they expend in keeping the game close, which has been us for the previous two years. NIU the perennial MAC powerhouse has beat us the last two years in overtime because their players are used to success and ours are not.

It is time to expect that we win every MAC game we play in this season. Toledo is the only team that I would consider superior to us at this point. My opinion only, of course.
