GRR: Mid-American Conference
It’s all finalized in the Mid-American Conference as the playoff matchup are set.
In the North, Bowling Green hammered Ball State 74-7 to finish 3-1; the Falcons already had secured 2nd in the North behind Western Michigan, so that doesn’t change. Central Michigan doubled up Kent State to finished 2-2.
Well, the University of Cincinnati finally won one, and they won big.
After losing two games by razor-thin margins and another slightly less close one to Dayton, the Bearcats exploded to beat #35 Miami of Ohio.
It’s a wild shakeup in the Mid-American Conference as once more we see several close games, and one or two upsets.
It was almost an upset in the one non-standings game, as Miami out of the South edged Ball State out of the North 28-27. It was the second-straight nailbiter for Miami, but again a game that doesn’t count in the standings.
As is the trend these days, Kent State returns to the pitch this fall to an altered landscape. The two-time reigning Mid-American Conference (MAC) champion has seen its league whittle down to four teams, a drop that has cost the conference its automatic berth to DI national playoffs. But the Ohio team is taking the changes in stride.
