To win the regular season title, IMO, Bobcats (or any MAC team) needs:

1) To sweep at least 2 of Toledo, Akron, Miami, Kent and split with the others.

2) Avoid a road loss at NIU, WMU, UB, EMU, CMU.

3) Win one game you should have lost.

4) Suffer no injury longer than 2/3 games.

That usually means the MAC Champ finishes something like 15-3, 14-4. If the league is balanced, particularly at the top, then 13-5 wins via tiebreakers.

#4 is so key. We finished second last year with basically no AJB and Elmore. EJ was never the same when he got back from injury and ineffective. Want to see an entire season of a healthy AJB and Elmore.

I definitely agree that 25 wins is within grasp. Hard to guess with only 31 known games and a couple tourneys in there, but I still think we split the usuals Kent, Akron, Toledo - and will drop a random road game at Buffalo or something that shouldn't happen...

14-4 in the MAC. Final Answer. Boals gets his regular season title.

Of the last 26 years, someone has won with 3+ losses 22 times. 3.5 average losses.

Non-Con:

10-3

24-7... depending on how the tournaments go.. I think we win some games there, so potentially something like 26-9.

*edit*
I just went back and most seem to think 14-4, so now I feel like I should take the contrarian view lol

If we win 35 games and are ranked as high as 12, I will name my first born Jeff, even if its a girl.
