Not sure of the record right now ... JH5, are you still keeping track? If not I can go back and look it up and post them.
Miami (OH) vs Northwestern
East. Michigan vs Cent. Michigan
Ball St. vs Temple
Bowling Green vs Kent St.
Gardner-Webb vs Buffalo
Ohio vs Akron
W. Michigan vs Toledo
Miami (OH) vs Northwestern
Northwestern - Yeah, Miami is really bad. EMU made it close with Northwestern ... don't expect Miami to do the same.
East. Michigan vs Cent. Michigan
CMU. EMU has won two straight vs CMU, but one of those was after CMU already had the West tied up and the other was that one last year where Schmidt went 55-80 passing. Not this time ... CMU in a close one (this one's always close).
Ball St. vs Temple
Temple. The only team worse in the MAC than Ball State so far is Miami. Temple wins big.
Bowling Green vs Kent St.
BG. BG finally gets it done. Kent without Eugene Jarvis is like a car without an engine (or at least I hope). BG would win huge if there weren't so many injuries at receiver ... instead BG wins by two possessions.
Gardner-Webb vs Buffalo
Buffalo. It's very clear that Buffalo last year was a one-year-wonder aided by a whole lot of luck. Even still, they'll wipe out GW.
Ohio vs Akron
Ohio. At the beginning of the year, I would have said Akron big. One QB dicking around and a surprisingly good offensive performance by Ohio later and I've changed my mind. That being said ... I'd sure like to see if Akron's 3-3-5 can hold up against that deep passing game and the Ohio receivers. If they can, the tables could switch on this one.
W. Michigan vs Toledo
Toledo. It's going to be a shootout. Toledo's got the better offense, the home field advantage, and more experience winning shootouts.
