=>Pretty sure this is right. I give head-to-head the edge, followed by divisional record if applicable.

# If next tiebreaker is head-to-head scoring, Marshall finishes with +5. Akron is now +3 and thus eliminated from finishing ahead of Marshall with a loss to Miami. Miami is –8. Miami would have to beat Akron by 14 points to finish +6. Miami beating Akron by 13 would leave a tie at +5 giving Marshall the head-to-head edge.

What happens if Miami wins out? Do they have a shot?

If Miami wins out, and Marshall loses Saturday, then Miami will be the East champ, if I am understanding it all correctly!

=>See IIIB1, IIIC, IVB1, and IVC. Those are the only scenarios where Miami wins if they win out. IIIB2, IIIC, IVB2, and IVC are situations where Miami can win if lose to WMU. Miami must beat Akron.

Marsall will lose this weekend and Miami will win out. GO REDHAWKS.

Now we need BG to win out and NIU to loss their last two to get the MACC rematch I want. GO FALCONS

=>Not much change of that happening. NIU losing at EMU has as much chance as Marshall losing at Akron.

But I can hope for the best.
