http://www.ohio.com/sports/34793019.html"What it means for UAUA Athletic Director Mack Rhoades is well aware of the scenarios.''If we can take care of business — and we don't want to put the cart before horse — if we can beat Ohio and Temple, then we put ourselves in position for an open bowl spot,'' Rhoades said.The MAC has three bowl commitments — the International, the GMAC and the Motor City Bowl. Ball State, the East winner (Buffalo or Bowling Green or even UA) and either Central or Western Michigan will take those three spots.If WMU doesn't get an automatic bid, it will certainly get an at-large bid.But if UA is 7-5, and there aren't enough teams to fill the other spots, the Zips might have forced the issue.One other factor to consider: If there aren't enough bowl-eligible teams, MAC teams could jump to other bowls and other MAC schools could fill in the three bowls that are committed to the conference."

"The Zips are playing their final game in the venerable Rubber Bowl but have yet to beat a team winning record this season. If UB beats the Zips this week and BGSU on November 21, the impossible will actually happen; the Bulls will win the MAC East and will be “bowling” for the first time in school history. UB is playing the best football of any east division team right now and should ride the wave to a victory."Ok so Syracuse sucks and Army too...Can't and EMU are Can't and EMU...Toledo is a shell of it's former selfWe lost to Ball State 9-0 ( ranked #16) and Cincinnati 7-2 (tied for 1st-Big East) and BG (gave it away at the end) at home.The MAC East record is rather pathetic too...Only the Zips and Buffalo are 5-4Everbody else is .500 or below.

This week, the Zips can stake their claim at homecoming when they host preseason East Division favorite Bowling Green (2-3, 0-1) at the Rubber Bowl.
