Last week didn’t quite go the way either Eastern Michigan (0-3) or Central Michigan (2-1) expected, with both teams taking tough losses that put their respective seasons in peril.
EMU, with their third loss in a row, falls out of the title race, and will likely have to win out to even be considered for the postseason. CMU lost to bitter rival WMU last week, forcing them into a situation where they must win out to have a chance at the MAC West crown— with help from other MAC West teams, of course.
Bth teams were roundly embarassed in the early going before coming back to make the final score more respectable, so it should be interesting to see how the dymanics of this particular game turn out.
