Win on Saturday and the Cats only have to be 4-4 in MAC play to make a bowl. After that we can all buy tickets to a different G5 bowl game and one of us will surely be right.

I don't think this watch will be a concern for us this year. Teamrankings right now gives Ohio a 98.1% chance to be eligible which is the 25th highest in the country. I says a 15.6% chance to win the MAC which is second to Toledo's 57.8%. It gives us a 45.1% chance to win the East which is the best. It favor's Ohio in all of their remaining games. 9 regular season wins is most likely (26.2%), followed by 10 (23.9), 8 (19.9), and gives us a 11.7% chance to run the table. The sum of all team's bowl eligibility chances is 78.98. There are 82 spots to fill so according to that even if we win only 6 games we have a very good chance to still go bowling.

That was about what I was thinking, 3-1 and going into MAC play Ohio had to be close to 99% chance for a bowl. With the Cat's playing in Boca Raton earlier this season Camelia Bowl is probably most likely. Against a SBC division winner (assuming Ohio wins the East) which is so difficult to predict on the SBC side of things. SBC is practically a new conference with the new membership and the pecking order has yet to sort out.

Its not going to be easy but there are definitely some layups, enough to give me projections on a bowl appearance. Miami got that UC win but I don't think it means much in the greater scheme. Chuck Martin's teams have a habit of fading toward the end of the season. If the Miami game was on the road I would be more concerned. The UC win was a big upset. Ohio's win over Iowa St had Scott Van Pelt picking it.

Now, after week four, teamrankings gives Ohio a 99.9% chance to be eligible. 10 of the best teams in the country it has rounded up to 100% already so this is tied for 11th with Miami (FL) and Notre Dame. It gives Ohio a 62.2% chance to win the East with Miami at 29.3%. Toledo has a 50.5% chance to win the MAC, Ohio 28.3%, Miami 13.1%, and CMU 3.3%. Everyone else in around 1% or less. The sum of eligibility is down to 77.8. Some 5 win teams will probably go bowling.

Last year at this point losing the MAC opener to Kent St it did feel as if it was about playing for a good year. Its still possible to break the school record for wins this year too.

That would probably be the earliest since 2012 when we started 7-0. Of course, that year we crapped in November and didn't the division. We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

There are 82 bowl slots to be filled. This is saying that the most likely scenario is about three 7 loss, and also JMU (and possibly Jacksonville State), will get to play this year. Ohio still has a 99.9% chance to be bowl eligible. Summing on teamrankings predicts 3.2 unbeated teams. About 0.8 of that is G5 teams (Liberty, Air Force, Fresno State, James Madison, Marshall). Considering we would need most, of not all, conference champs to have two losses we need a lot of help to play in a NY6 game That might still be true even with a 13 game winning streak and a loss due to QB injury. James Madison is still ineligible to play for a title so if they beat Marshall then that would help a lot. It gives us a 34% chance of going 10-2, a 25% chance of running the table, and a 24% chance of 9-3. It gives us a 32.9% chance of winning the MAC which is still second to Toledo's 44.8%. Miami is 14.1% and CMU at 4%. Everyone else is around 1% or 0%. It gives us a 63.2% chance to win the East against Miami's 28.7%. They next highest is Buffalo at 4.8%. It gives us a 63.6% chance to beat Miami. That's the toughest game left.
