It’s clinching time for the Miami (OH) RedHawks. With a Wednesday win on senior night over Buffalo, Miami punches a ticket to the MAC Championship Game for the first time since 2019 — when many of the graduating seniors were freshmen.
Standing in Miami’s path to a MAC East division title is Buffalo. The Bulls are eliminated from bowl contention after dropping consecutive games to the MAC’s other top teams, Toledo and Ohio. The home team has won each of the last six games in this series, so history and the oddsmakers both believe in a RedHawks MAC Championship Game appearance.
