This Week's Games:
Noon Game:
Ball State puts it all on the line at 411cision stadium versus random result generator Akron.
2pm:
Miami takes on the last team they defeated, their rivals the Ohio Bobcats.
2:30 pm:
Toledo travels to BGSU for the MAC's best inter-divisional rivalry.
3pm:
WMU at UMass if WMU loses this one, they could go 0-11 before a primetime season finale on ESPN2 at NIU. The MAC schedulers are cruel cruel people.

EMU at NIU, I know this matchup had to happen, but still the MAC schedulers are cruel cruel people.
Buffalo at Kent State: Buffalo's most formidable foe since Baylor, the Bulls fight to clinch bowl eligibility.
