TIER 1 (MACC CONTENDERS):
1.) = Ohio- One game lead, and a key tie breaker over UB.
2.) = Toledo- Clinched

TIER 2 (SHOULD GO BOWLING):
3.) +3 EMU- Ya just know what youre gona get from the Eagles.
4.) = BALL STATE- Could play spoiler vs. Ohio and has a rivalry bout with struggling Miami. All run game.
5.) -2 UB- Jekyl and Hyde. Cant play 4 qtrs.

TIER 3 (COULD GO BOWLING):
6.) +2 KSU- Just more skill talent than anyone in this group. Best SOS in the G5.
7.) -2 BGSU- Back against the wall
8.) +1 CMU- Found a QB and may get back to .500.
9.) -2 Miami- Boring team. Didnt meet expectations.

TIER 4 (DONEZO):
10.) = NIU- Glad theyre still playing hard.
11.) = WMU- Ditch the grey uniforms forever.
12.) = AKRON- Running out of time for an FBS win.

I think as with the same sort of arguments that apply to the committee rankings where resume is usually more important than who we think would win an hypothetical match, I agree with Ohio being ranked #1 ahead of Toledo. However, I think that if Finn is mobile if they do play Toledo will probably be a slight favorite. Buffalo, Bowling Green, and Kent State are all still alive. OUr defense is playing much better than early in the season and we are doing very little to beat ourselves recently.

Except for those schools that have Grey/Silver as a primary school color everyone else should ditch grey uniforms for ever. That's why I looked up my login to post. Nearly all grey uniforms, football, basketball, whatever, are just bad.

Ohio has played some lame duck offenses lately to get them on track. They just dont seem to falter for a quarter or give short fields as much as Toledo which skews the point totals in Ohios favor. Kudos. I bet Toledo would be favored by about 4. But thats name recognition alone. We havent covered the last 3 inflated spreads. I think Ohios resume is better and should be favored pending the final 2 results.

Ohio is like last year's NIU team. Huge turnaround and an offense that is rolling.

Hoping this is another blip for NIU due to the extensive injuries this season. We lost close games in 2020, won close games in 2021, losing close games in 2022, so maybe come out on winning side of close games again in 2023??
