Chickens: not counting. Mid-week can do weird things.

Miami lost their 3rd QB of the season in the 2nd quarter. Freshman QB Drew Bellisari came in and rallied the RedHawks. Couple crucial turnovers for OU, QB fumble and a pick six.

LOL

Look for a video of the unsportsmanlike penalty Miami got because words won't justify it but they projected several goal posts on the board behind the goal post while OU was trying to kick a FG. GENIOUS!

Bill Bellichick used to do that for visiting teams in New England. Except one set of posts, just off from the real posts.

It was a MAC official, trying to shine in a game that belongs to the players.

Yeah, the Patriots could sort of justify it as it was just showing a single camera angle. The brilliance with what the Patriots did was that it would be the inverse of the goal posts, so the flags on the video board would be showing the wind blowing in the opposite direction of what the kicker would have been seeing from the real goal posts.

I think this was Miami's failed attempt to audition for a P4 conference, showing they are willing to cheat with the best of them.

OU finally played a conference opponent with a winning record.

The Patriots (and many other teams in the NFL) do this still. The difference is they are using a real camera view that anyone could see and can justify the camera view to anyone saying "this angle shows if it went through or not".

What Miami did was put a graphic up to deliberately distract. I don't hate it, home field advantage..but also a little dirty.

So if our student section had a bunch of yellow and...midnight blue cards that just happen to look like a large fork and they just happen to be waving, this would be a penalty?

Not sure what happens if Toledo, WMU and Buffalo win out, creating a three-way tie. All teams will be 1-1 within that trio.

Record vs. All Common Opponents Rule:

Highest winning percentage against all common conference opponents.

Application: Identify every MAC team that all three schools played during the regular season.

If one team has a superior record against that common pool, that team claims the higher seed.

If two teams remain tied after one team is separated (either ahead or eliminated), the remaining two immediately revert to the Two-Team Tiebreaker formula, beginning with their head-to-head result.

If all three have identical winning percentages against common opponents, move to Step 3.

SportSource Analytics Team Rating Score Rule:

The team with the highest ranking according to the proprietary Team Rating Score metric provided by SportSource Analytics following the conclusion of the regular season.

Application: This is the MAC's advanced computer metric tiebreaker (similar to what is used across several FBS conferences). The team ranked highest here claims the top spot among the tied group. Once one team advances (or is seeded), the remaining two revert back to the two-team tiebreaker (head-to-head).

The irony here? BOWLING GREEN IS THE ONLY COMMON OPPONENT ACROSS ALL THREE TEAMS!

So, then we head to the SportSource analytic score. Here's where it stands:

Sports-Reference SRS
Toledo: +3.47 (1st in MAC)
Western Michigan: +0.75 (2nd in MAC)
Buffalo: -6.04 (5th in MAC)

Toledo is far and away the highest rated team. Not even close. This is based on:

1) Overall record
2) Scoring offense
3) Scoring defense
4) Point differential
5) TeamRankings Predictive Rating

The only one of those Toledo is not #1 in is the predictive ranking. Right now Toledo is ranked #91 nationally, while Western Michigan is #90. Buffalo is #121. However, of all three teams, the biggest "gainer" on the schedule is Toledo v. Ohio. A win over Ohio and Toledo will absolutely leap over Western Michigan on the rankings side of the equation, too.

Pass defense better step it up tonight. We are 10th in the MAC against conference foes in passing yards allowed. We are also second to last in penalties with 28 yds more per game than UMass in MAC games. I would also assume most of our penalty yards have been coming on PI and holding calls in the secondary (no official stat for yards by type of penalty). That is not a good combination to have.

I have a feeling that Jacobs is going to have the guys amped up for tonight. We've also not seen bad back to back games from JAR. In fact, I believe he's come back on absolute fire each time he's had a bad outing.

Like what Miami found out playing UB at Home and lost that game in the 2nd half. It was Miami's turn to do the same thing to another opponent last night, coming back in the second half and securing the victory. Unlike year's past, this game should not be treated as a push over game as UMass has become competitive. Nonetheless, UT should win this home game. But at the same time; I did not think I would say this, which JAR will show up tonight ? Will it be one that struggle against the likes of Buffalo and Sac State, or the one that put up big numbers against Temple and San Diego State. UT are a 14.5 favorites tonight. The Rockets are 5-4 against the spread. They also have struggled to cover large numbers, posting 1-3 ATS record when favored by 14.5 points (UB, Sac St.) or more.

A little social media thing going around.

WMU is the only Bowl eligible team in Michigan.

MIAMI
