Bowling Green is 4-1 in the MAC after beating Western Michigan 13-9 at home. The Falcons are tied for first place in the MAC East, but they don’t quite control their own destiny. Their loss is to Buffalo, who is also 4-1, and Bowling Green would need them to either lose another game or be eliminated via tiebreakers to make the MAC Championship game.
It’s truly a surprise that Bowling Green is in the MAC Championship conversation. It’s been a tough road for Scot Loeffler at Bowling Green after Mike Jinks left the program in rough shape. They’re here now, and unless they bottom out over their last three games and miss bowl season, this season has been a success.
