    #21 NIU vs #17 Kent State
    KENT STATE

    Lets start with the loss to kentucky in week 2 because everyone is bringing that up, first off if anyone watched the game and saw what happened, despite the blowout kent state should of won. They had multiple fumbles in the red zone and completely messed up plays. Not to mention it beginning of the season. Just like had florida almost lost to bowling green.

    Moving on, i was at kents state vs bowling green game and BG had a top 10 nationally ranked defense and run defense. Dri Archer was unbelievable. I wish they showed his 2 ridiculous runs . He is amazing, winner of that game went to the MAC championship. The only problem with kent state is their pass defense, Kent states pass defense is terrible.

    HOW THEY CAN WIN:

    Rely heavily on Archer, stop Jordan Lynch, and produce turnovers. Kent states turnover ratio is ridiculous. They make big plays and there turnover margin i think is at like +20. In order for them to win, they need to create turnovers like they have been doing which is going to be really hard against lynch.

    NIU:

    Jordan Lynch, he accounts for 75% of the offense. There is no one else to talk about on this team. I dont want to give a write up because its only going to be about him. He is a heisman candidate has ridiculous stats and will be selected in the NFL draft in early rounds. He has blown out bad teams unlike Kent state, all year he has consistantly been a tank.

    HOW THEY CAN WIN:

    Jordan lynch.




    PICK Kent state +8 (6 units)
    As much as i want kent state to win this game i dont see them beating NIU. If they do beat NIU then i wont be surprised if its because the MAC has 25 million dollars riding on this game if kent state wins. Its going to be a really close game so im taking the +8 points. Expect a shootout, taking the over as well.

    What I don't get is why everyone thinks the MAC has to have Kent win this game to get into the BCS? Wouldn't a huge blow out win by NIU over the nations 17th ranked team jump them into the BCS? This kind of thinking is stupid. If i recall last year someone had this thinking about last years game with some other school and the better team still won and dominated

      Your absolutely right it could happen, but knowing the BCS, they could rigged the system and have NIU not get in. They do not want a MAC team in a BCS bowl game. So if NIU does blow out Kent state and texas loses i think they will put them at 17
