If you like a little bit of title game intrigue with your weeknight #MACtion kickoff game, well, you’ve certainly gotten your wish.
The Ball State Cardinals (4-4, 3-1 MAC) travels to Kalamazoo to face the Western Michigan Broncos (5-4, 3-2 MAC) to try and keep their all-important divisional lead after surprising everyone by going undefeated in their first three games of the conference season.
To say the least, having Ball State be the leader of the West is an unexpected, if intriguing, turn to what has otherwise been a down year in the Mid-American Conference as a whole.
