MAC Bowl Picture

There are only 3 guaranteed MAC bowl spots, but most teams with 7 win get a game, so here are the 6 teams that have a chance for 7 wins:

IN

Temple (8 wins) - Plays Kent State next week and a possible MAC East championship game with Ohio the week after that.

Central Michigan (8 wins) - At Ball State next Wednesday, then hosts Northern Illinois the next week in a game that could decide the MAC West.

PROBABLY IN

Ohio (7 wins) - Controls it's own destiny for the MAC East title. Plays Northern Illinois next week, then at Temple.

Northern Illinois (7 wins) - Controls it's destiny for the MAC West title. Goes to Ohio next week, then travels to Central Michigan.

SOME WORK TO DO

Bowling Green (5 wins) - Hosts Akron next week then hosts Toledo the week after. Needs to win both games to get to 7 wins.

Kent State (5 wins) - Tough game at Temple next week followed by a home game against Buffalo. Also needs to win both games to get to 7 wins.


The big MAC game next week will be Northern Illinois at Ohio on Saturday November 21st. The winner still has a chance to play in the MAC Championship game. The loser will most likely make a bowl game, but the ultimate goal of a conference championship will have been denied.
