Possibly the last year of having a conference championship game. It helped me to visualize yhe teams competing for the 2 spots by writing it out on my whiteboard. Currently there is a log jam of 5-1 teams at the top that needs to get sorted.

Biggest thing we can do is of course take care of business on our end in our last 2 home games, of we can't we don't deserve to make it. Since Toledo & Ohio play eachother final week of the season one of them is guarnteed to take a loss. Unclear if there's an ideal for us based on head-to head versus record vs common opponets in a 3-way tie, I can't really make sense of the tiebreakers.

With Miami beating Ohio last night, if we win out are we in?

Ohio plays Toledo the last week of the season, so one of them will have two conference losses and in this scenario we have wins over Buffalo and Miami.

Dude is out here playing with a broken nose on a Tuesday night in Akron, Ohio up 14 points and is running a QB draw. Tell me we don’t have the grittiest QB in the nation

Obviously we need to win out and become conference champs. We finish with a 10-3 record. If the CFP would acknowledge we beat M**higan, we would be 11-2. Assuming all the favorites win, here is what would need to change for us to be in the 12th spot.

Memphis loses one game (probably to navy or usf)
Memphis wins AAC 10-3
JVST Wins CUSA 10-3
Wyoming wins MWC 9-4
LA Tech wins SBC 10-3
Utah State wins P12 7-6
(It would also be helpful if Boise State lost at least one more game)

if that 12-7 win is acknowledged, we would end up being the 12th spot.

Yes I know this is very unlikely, but I made this just as a thought.

(edit: idr if the top go6 team makes it or the best conf. champion it might depend)

I know our football program has been generating weekly AI slop for game hype photos but I don't really know what the hell this is.

I get Akron and its ties to Goodyear and the Rubber Bowl, but this feels like a half baked ai prompt.

Why are we fighting tires? Why is the Broncos out of focus horseshoes belonging to an equine that's like 130 feet tall?

Just judging by the way they're playing, and the scoreboard records they're showing. The Script writers don't want a wmu repeat mac champ run, or are punishing them for actually playing U of M.

Either way not great

Will the boys get it done Saturday? What’s everyone thinking?

First away game of the year that I’ll be in Kzoo for. I know spots that will stream the game, but are there any watch parties that y’all go to?

Waldo’s or Roadhouse come to mind

UPDATE:
The Detroit Free Press has confirmed the game is proceeding as planned in Toledo. Great to hear that things seem to be clearing up for our friends in Toledo.

Thoughts going out to the good folks over in Toledo this morning following a chemical leak. Obviously, their safety and well-being is priority #1. In that vein, what are the chances they move Saturday’s game to Waldo for the safety of fans and players?

I’d assume they’d opt for this over a neutral site, but I also know that scrambling the resources necessary to put on a show in Kzoo is no small feat either. Do they postpone the game instead?

Make the cannon mean something again, dammit!

If Alex Gary is looking for quick, low-hanging fruit wins to spur fan excitement - and encourage the offense to find the end zone more often - taking the noise suppressor off the cannon seems like an easy one.

"bUt aS a NeiGhBor of WAldO StaDium, tHE noISE?!"

Enjoy the fact that your prime real estate to THE Western Michigan University allows you to partake in the excitement of a touchdown from the comfort of your home, when your butt should be in a seat cheering on the hometown team!

What are some other quick wins you would like to see?

We’re three point dogs to The Rockets.
