We have had a lot of good breaks. That was an awful throw that put us down 10.

That is not good. Man.

Zippers and Sweaters are on the deuce, and streaming on ESPN 3.

Looking at the forecast, besides being a little chilly, weather shouldn't affect play much. Oxford forecast calls for mostly cloudy skies, light winds and temps between 40 and 44. Less than 10% chance for rain.

The site I frequent opened at 4 and is now at 5.5. They also still list Ragland as questionable.

Updated through Saturday 11/4: 50 eligible teams (64% of 78 Bowl berths) 60 teams could become eligible. There are 12 teams sitting at 6 losses. 20 have been eliminated from contention (barring the need to take a 5-7 team) Umass, Illinois, ECU and Texas State all took 7th losses Saturday. In mid-week games: ZIPS could become eligible WMU could become eligible CMU could become eligible Appalachian State could become eligible Miami OH could be eliminated Buffalo could be eliminated EMU could be eliminated Cincinnati could be eliminated

Last night Ball State moved over to the elimination category. No new teams became eligible. The quote above has been edited to reflect that. Tonight, FAU could become the 40th bowl-eligible team with a win at home over Marshall. No teams have the possibility of being eliminated. 11/3 teams that could gain eligibility: Texas A&M (vs Auburn) WKU (@Vanderbilt) Houston (vs ECU) Virginia (vs GA Tech) App State (@Louisiana Monroe) UAB (vs Rice) Wake (@Notre Dame) Iowa (vs Ohio State) WVU (vs Iowa State) North Texas (vs LA Tech) Northwestern (@ Nebraska) Wyoming (vs Colorado State) UTSA (@ FIU) FIU (vs UTSA) Southern Miss (@ Tennessee) Colorado (@ AZ State) Oregon (@ Washington) Fresno State (vs BYU) 11/3 Teams that could take a 7th loss: Umass (@Miss State) Illinois (@ Purdue) ECU (@ Houston) Texas State (vs New Mexico St) ODU (vs Charlotte) Cinci (@Tulane) At the end of Saturday we could have as many as 67 Bowl-eligible teams. It sure is fun to watch the dominoes fall this time of year. Hopefully we'll flip over to that group on Tuesday.

Did a quick spreadsheet but it won't translate copy/paste wise. We should know a lot more after this weekend but as of today: 39 eligible teams (50% of 78 Bowl berths) 76 teams could become eligible 15 have been eliminated from contention (barring the need to take a 5-7 team)

Ditto. I completely forgot that we were in slightly better situation last year being 5-3 and having 4 straight chances for bowl eligibility. If Ragland is indeed back, this game gets even tougher. Miami is out of the conference race but still could win out and get to a bowl, so they do have something to play for. I hope I'm wrong but I see something like 27-17, Miami.

The lines should be issued today, I believe. I can't find anything just yet. If I had a guess, it'll probably Akron getting between 3.5 and 6.

It's funny, because in my head it was -10 that day. I remember the wind whipping drifts of snow everywhere. And then I drove north for an hour for Thanksgiving dinner.

I thought this during the Buffalo game. Home field advantage has to turn into a disadvantage at that point. I recall playing basketball in high school and getting amped for a huge game mid-winter and coming out of the locker room to 70 people. Hopefully D1 athletes can "clear the mechanism" and work past it.

If it's 78 and sunny that day, and all NE Ohio cancels work the following morning, and they're offering buy one get 3 free....10k butts in seats.

Not getting ahead of myself at all, but does overall MAC record go into determining division champs or is it just record vs the East?

Sucks they only showed one replay angle. Sure looked like a catch and it certainly was a huge swing in the game. Would've been nice going into the half only down 10.

ESPN's schedules go back to 2002. No luck there. 2007 and 2014 were the closest at 2-0 starts. I guess this makes that win even more impressive. Edit: If I had to hazard a guess, I'd bet this is our first 3-0 start in D1 history. Someone else prove me wrong if you have access to historical schedules. I also found out that this improves our all-time record vs. WMU to a miserable 4-13.

Just a glimmer at the bottom of the bowl. You might be right, but I still think that'll be a close call being on the road (PK or +/- 3).

I'm not going to get overly excited over this one. It was a great win, no doubt. Unexpected? Absolutely. Now, beat Toledo and I'm going to be losing my mind with excitement. Even if it's a very close game, I'll be ready to talk about a MAC East Championship possibility and a trip to Detroit. The fact of the matter is, we should all still be trying to get a read on this team. They're definitely improving, but what's our ceiling? Like last year, I could see us going anywhere from 9-3 to 5-7. In fact, we'll probably only be favored to win in 2 of our remaining games (Buffalo and Kent).

Good to see whiner found something to whine about. Probably won't win by enough when we win the CFP in a few years. He'll whine about margin of victory.

Wouldn't have had time to set, I don't think. Or it would've been very very close.

And BG holds on Oxford to beat Miami. Add that game to the "winnable" column.

The angry whiner earned the second block for me in about 15 years on these boards. Not worth my time. Crazy day in the MAC, though. Even Buffalo had an early 14-3 lead on Western.

Keyboard warrior. Should've been ignored a long time ago. Hope you get the boot for that garbage. Grow up.

All you do is bitch, fam. A few posts up you bitched about play calls and then about our starting quarterback coming back into the game. Everyone gets you don't like Woodson, but the 3rd all time passing yards quarterback isn't getting supplanted. Sorry.

Two touchdown lead and people are bitching. Y'all are insufferable. I'm fine with Kato getting some reps to change things up. Can only help for next year.
