This Week's Games:
Noon Game:
EMU stays in New York to take on Army.
2pm:
CMU looks to do to Ohio of Ohio what they did to Miami of Ohio.
Buffalo looks to do to Western Michigan what they did to Eastern Michigan.
3pm
Newly coachless Miami (OH) travels to UMass...it's truly cruel to fire a coach BEFORE the UMass game.
State Battle: Kent battles Ball in Indiana in the MAC game of the week. Kent has the hardest crossover schedule I feel bad for them.
5pm
Akron travels to NIU but probably shouldn't bother.
7:30pm
The MAC has wins vs the AAC, ACC & the B1G. BGSU has a legit chance to topple a weakened Mississippi State team from the SEC.
