Kent State will get a chance to play for its first Mid-American Conference championship in 40 years.
The 23rd-ranked Golden Flashes, though, have business to take care of before that happens.
Kent State will try to extend its program-record nine-game winning streak Friday when it hosts Ohio in the regular-season finale for both teams.
