So here are the standings. For BG, the drama is more or less over. BG will finish #5 or #6. NIU will be either or CMU. (As I see it, even in a three-way tie, CMU finishes behind Ball State and Miami since they lost all 3 games played among the teams) and therefore would lose two-way tie breakers. The MAC is pretty soft at the bottom, so that's your reward for at least finish #5 or #6.
Buffalo can still win the #1 seed and the regular season championship. The Akron-Kent game is Friday night, so by Saturday we will know if Buffalo is playing for that or not. Buffalo could still end up without a semi-final bye. They lost both games to OU, which could come into play in a tie-breaker with OU or with Kent. In fact, it is possible that Buffalo could be looking at a regular season title with a win against BG and falling to a 1/4 final bye with a loss. If OU and Kent both lose on Friday, then Buffalo would have nothing to play for.
Beyond that, EMU can still get a bye and some seeding is still at stake.
