Ball State v. NIU. . . The Huskies could be 2-4 after today?!

A upset win by the Sweaters would be a nice gift for the Zips if we are still entertaining any thoughts of winning the East.

Central @ Western is the game of the week. Helluva rivalry with post game festivities at Bell's. :cheers:

CMU doesn't look so scary today.

CMU came back really strong at the end. But if the Zips can play like they did today they can beat them. The tallest order is next week but if the Zips can top BGSU they still absolutely have a shot in terms of schedule. BGSU and Ohio still have each other and BGSU doesn't get Miami but gets WMU, Toledo and Ball St. Ohio misses UMASS and gets NIU, WMU and Ball St. Much tougher schedules than the Zips. I hate the unbalanced schedule and will be happy when UMASS leaves but it might work to the Zips favor this year. Next week is huge.

Just looking ahead a little bit, along with us, BG still has WMU, Ohio, Toledo, and even Ball St (who isnt a complete slouch). I bet OU goes down to WMU this weekend. In addition to them, still have UB, BG, Ball St, and NIU to go. A lot of football left to be played. And knowing the MAC, surely some dust will kicked up.

Initially, I didn't like seeing the CMU/Buffalo score, because CMU is our next game.

But upon further thought, I like that Buffalo appears to be emerging as a very winnable game, despite how badly they beat us last year.

Put the BG game behind us quickly. The "Schedule Gods" appear to have given us 4 games against bad teams to close the season, and a clear path to a 7 win bowl season. We can't possibly ask for much more of an opportunity than we're going to get from that November schedule.

Not scientific, but it clearly proves my point that we "should" win our last 4 games, and get the 7 wins we need.

But, this team needs to recover from Saturday, utilize the bye week effectively, get some things accomplished against CMU, even if we don't win, and start getting our act together to close out strong.

I'll gladly throw away the CMU game to get those last 4 victories.
