MAC Home Stretch Reset

So, here is how the MAC looks, now updated. The Falcons are in a three-way tie for first, with a huge game coming up at the JAR on Sunday. Last night's win was absolutely huge, but everything is still in flux. Akron and Miami away are no picnic.

MAC Tiebreaker
1. Head-to-head competition
2. Winning percentage* vs. ranked conference teams (top to bottom, regardless of division; versus common opponents, regardless of the number of times played)
3. Coin flip

* Winning percentage is used instead of record because of situations where teams do not play each other the same number of times. Therefore, a team that is 1-0 (1.000) would win the tiebreaker over a team that is 1-1 (.500).

BG Head to Head Status:

We win tiebreakers with:

Buffalo
Western
Ball State
UT
NIU
CMU

We lose tiebreakers to:
EMU

Draw
Kent

Tiebreakers in Flux:
Akron (A BG Win makes it a tie)
Ohio (A BG win gives us this tiebreaker)
Miami (A BG win makes it a tie)

Finally, based on #2, as long as Buffalo eventually finishes in first place, this is very good for us, since we swept them.
