Separation Saturday is officially here.
With Ball State and Buffalo wrapping up their respective non-conference slates, the remaining 10 Mid-American programs look to move forward and establish their credibility in their division races, as just this week and next remain on the primary weekend slates before November weeknight #MACtion.
There are already several teams in vital need of a win to keep their heads above water, as Akron, CMU and NIU all sit at 1-5 and one more loss puts them in the perilous position of missing out on a bowl game. BGSU, Kent State and WMU all need a win to right their ships as well, as they all sit at 2-4 and could use some encouraging results to keep their postseason hopes afloat.
