Anyone know the updated records? I think I've done pretty well the last couple weeks but I'm not really sure...I can understand if no one has the time or patience to figure them out, because I know I don't.

My Week 12 Picks...

Buffalo @ Miami - Both of these teams are bad. It took more for us to beat Buffalo than Miami so I'll pick the Bulls.

CMU @ Ball State - The Chips should have an easy go of it. I think the football gods like that CMU has never changed their mascot hence their good fortune.

Akron @ Bolwing Green - The Falcons are flying high after a big win over Miami last week. The Momentum keeps building to the Peace Pipe Showdown...Falcons win B!G

EMU @ Toledo - There is no reason the Rockettes should lose this game. Toledo in a walk.

Kent State @ Temple - Temple may, in fact, be the real deal. I think they will win this game and win the East.

NIU @ Ohio - The Bobcats have been struggling but I think they win this game.

I'll do my best to figure out the standings before the Toledo game.

Buffalo at Miami: The Bulls just don't seem to have a killer instinct and I have a gut feeling the Redskins have one good game left in them this year.

Central Michigan at Ball State: No letdown for the Chips.

Akron at Bowling Green: Falcons are putting it all together; Zips are reeling after a beating by the Owls.

Eastern Michigan at Toledo: Hurons are just playing out the string.

Kent State at Temple: Owls will shellack the Flashes, plain and simple.

Northern Illinois at Ohio: The Huskie win seals the MAC East for Temple; it'll be a close one, but I just don't think the Snobkitties will pull it off.

6:00 PM ET Buffalo at Miami (OH) is there really a winner here?
8:00 PM ET Central Michigan at Ball State Central could start it's equipment managers and still win by 10!

Friday, November 20
5:30 PM ET Akron at Bowling Green Akron looked better last week, but BG is playing better of late.
7:00 PM ET Eastern Michigan at Toledo Toledo wins a sloppy game

Saturday, November 21

1:00 PM ET Kent State at Temple Temple should really hammer Kent.
2:00 PM ET Northern Illinois at Ohio NIU in an upset. Remember NIU beat Purdue!

Buffalo at Miami (OH)
Buffalo. Miami has some serious positives going for them, but their quarterback play is just too erratic. Buffalo is good enough to win this one.

Central Michigan at Ball State
CMU. Ball State just doesn't have anything of what it takes to hang with CMU for an entire game. CMU big.

Akron at Bowling Green
BG. BG is playing excellent football on both sides of the ball right now. Akron is better than their record but BG just outplays them all night long.

Eastern Michigan at Toledo
Toledo. Toledo's pass defense is awful. Thankfully for them, EMU's star QB was injured early and the new starter looks lost on the field. Toledo by a bunch.

Kent State at Temple
Temple. I really want Kent to win, but it's not going to happen. Temple and CMU are going to meet in the MAC title game at 8-0 each in conference.

Northern Illinois at Ohio
NIU. Ohio is a good team, no doubt, but NIU has more power. NIU wins a good battle.

Buffalo@ Miami- I believe the Bulls will win this game. The Bulls have talent just alot of injuries this year.

Central Michigane@ Ball State- Central will win this game big. Ball State can't hang with anyone. BG's biggest win was over the cardinals in muncie so with that said this might be the biggest margin of victory the chips have all season.....oh wait, did CMU play EMU yet? lol.

Akron @Bowling Green- I have faith the Falcons will win out these last 2 games. Lets beat the zips!!!!

EMU @Toledo- Easiest pick of the week, every week for that matter, any team + EMU= win for any team. Toledo big

Kent State@ Temple- THATS RIGHT, im goin with the Golden Flashes. I want them to win so im throwin a Hail Mary so come on flashes dont let me down.

NIU@Ohio- Northern Illinois will rush all over the bobcats this week, at least im hoping, I got my fingers crossed

oh wait, did CMU play EMU yet? lol.

\Not since they thumped CMU last year...

h20ville, I don't know what you're talking about. CMU murdered EMU 56-8 back in October. And in 2008, EMU "Thumped" CMU by a whole 4 points 56-52. I would add that in both 2007 and 2008, CMU played EMU in the last game of the season and had already clinched either a bowl or a trip to the MACC and wasn't playing their starters for the whole game. Had the teams faced off earlier in the year, Central would have easily won both games. This year, Central went all out on the poor Eagles, and we saw the result.

Oh yeah, games:


Buffalo at Miami (OH) - Miami - Color me crazy, but I think Buffalo is the MAC's jinxed team this year. (Not that they don't deserve it). Da Bulls lose another close one in a minor upset.

Central Michigan at Ball State - Central Michigan - The Chips win this one big. Next.

Akron at Bowling Green - Bowling Green - BG sheds their home field disadvantage and smacks hapless Akron. Next.

Eastern Michigan at Toledo - Toledo - Once again, it doesn't get more automatic than picking against EMU. I think one time I called them the "bastard child of the MAC." Certainly seems like it doesn't it? Rockets big. Next.

Kent State at Temple - Kent State - Now we get to the tougher games. Kent has been brutally difficult to figure out this year. Temple's good. Just for that reason I'm going for the upset, Flashes win on the road.

Northern Illinois at Ohio - Northern Illinois - Another really tough game. The huskies are the MAC's most underrated team, and I think they come out of Athens with a W, setting up a battle for the MAC West title next week between NIU and CMU, and creating a clusterf*uck between 4 teams in the East.
