What this means at this point is Ohio has defeated the weakest two teams in the MAC in Akron and WMU while losing to a 2-5 Kent St team. it makes me fairly skeptical that Ohio will run the table. NIU won big today. Ball State on the road has the makings of a trap game. On the other side Miami didn't look too good and TA won against them last year. Buffalo's MAC wins against EMU, Miami and BG aren't particularly impressive either.

Yep, it was good win today, and I can see the possibility of wining the MAC East, but I'm fearful of NIU now that Lombardi is back. They are an entirely different team when he's at the helm. I watched the Vanderbilt game. NIU had a two TD lead and looked like they were going to cruise to a win; then Lombardi got hurt, and their offense sputtered and they lost the game by multiple TDs. Without Lombardi I think OHIO rolls in this one. With him, we'll be underdogs. We can still win but will need to play a near-perfect game and cause turnovers like we did today. Go OHIO!

Lombardi played today, but he was nowhere near fully healthy. He had a relatively decent stat line but he was laboring out there at times. He's at his best when he can also run and he didn't (can't) do that right now. It also sounds like Hampton, the backup QB who has been playing in Lombardi's absence, is now likely out for the year with an injury from last week. So it looks like NIU is going to nurse their QB's to the finish line.

They will in customary Ohio fashion have to be outscored through the air I think to get it done. Lombardi could get hurt again and that would help.

Take them one week at a time. I will take a win next week against northern Illinois first. Normally I don't agree with this advice but its particularly difficult this year to gage relative strength of MAC opponents. I'd like to think of Bowling Green as a bad team but they defeated Miami today. I'd like to think of Ball State as a good MAC team because they are 4-3 but they lost to Western Michigan, won against NIU when they were down and have a victory over CMU which according to today was only a score better than Akron. Central competed well against Oklahoma State to start the season. Best to just count each win as it rolls in and take nothing for granted.

There should be at least a couple more wins on the schedule somewhere out of the 5 remaining games. 2-3 down the stretch the team still finishes 6-6 and finds a bowl game. To win the division however every week counts. Confidence might count for something here too. OCF said this week he thought winning against WMU could be a confidence builder. I definitely reject the hypothesis that Ohio has a 50/50 chance of losing out that's been on this board since the Fordham game.

That means that the expected average is now about 6.5 wins. Based on that, the odds of ending up: 4-8: 3.1% 5-7: 15.6% 6-6: 31.3% 7-5: 31.3% 8-4: 15.6% 9-3: 3.1% If Ohio goes 9-3, they will win the MAC East. If they go 8-4, they might win it, depending on other games. They probably need to beat Buffalo to win at 8-4, so I would guesstimate that Ohio has about a 14% chance of winning the East at this point. “We have two ears and one mouth so that we can listen twice as much as we speak.” ― Epictetus Back to Top BillyTheCat General User Member Since: 10/6/2012 Post Count: 9,713 Status: Offline     RE: Interesting Weekend    Posted: 10/16/2022 7:32:31 AM  bobcatsquared wrote: BillyTheCat wrote: OhioBobcat wrote: bobcatsquared wrote: I'll say it right now, with 3 qtrs left to play, UT will come back and take the lead v.
