Championship matchup is decided, Miami vs Toledo. Toledo, Miami, Ohio, and Bowling Green are Bowl eligible. Eastern Michigan, Central Michigan, and Northern Illinois are all 5-6, needing a win, although a few 5-7 teams will probably get a bowl game this year.
We all watched Buffalo last week run the Don’t Offense. How in the hell are they -5.5 over anyone especially a very good coach who needs to win to get to 6?
Yeah I don’t get it. I saw UB at -6.5 yesterday. How? I realize it’s senior night so there is the emotional bump but EMU is playing for a bowl, so they have plenty on the line. The line should be reversed.
I went out for a walk tonight and was listening to Todd Walker, the BG announcer. He said that BG is expecting to go to Boise. I am pretty sure everybody at Miami would like that…Both games are blowouts
I agree. I am not calling for a change of of our coaching staff but, if the position became available, my first call would be to Chris Creighton.
I also think he would accept it. It is impossible for a P4 athletic director to offer a head coacing position to a 500 MAC coach in spite of the fact that is excellence at EMU. At a Toledo , Miami or Buffalo I strongly suspect that he would compile the resume that would get him a solid P5 offer!
…and EMU clinches a bowl slot w a 6-6 record. EMU played well in first half and kinda “sat on it” in second half to win 24-11 over hapless Buffalo.
If NIU wins this weekend, MAC will fill it’s 6 bowl slots.
So with Eastern’s win we’ve got 5 bowl eligible MAC teams. Best shot at the fully committed 6 is NIU at Kent on Saturday. CMU can be a 7th if they beat Toledo in Mt Pleassnt but I’m not sure I want that to happen. I’d rather beat the Rockets at 11-1 and in the top 25.
