Needless to say, a sufficient amount of shuffling was required. Pick a card, any card.

4-1 (1-0) |
Two great running backs. One medium-strength quarterback. A kicker. Close games. Folks, this is as close as we'll get to a Big Ten offense in the MAC. | @NIU |

It's not just Chad Spann and Chandler Harnish that run, but fellow backs Jasmin Hopkins, Ricky Crider and Cameron Bell are all averaging at least 6.0 yards per carry. Each have a run of at least 29 yards. DEPTH BACKS. | Temple |

All right, so maybe the No. 1 rank was a little premature. But look at that turnover margin (+7). So as long as they don't lose the magic rock six times in Idaho this weekend, they'll still come out ahead. | @Boise State |

8 | Kent State W 27-21 |

I had Miami finishing 3-9. So here we are. Seven-game losing streak, anyone? | @Cincinnati |

You know how you try to sink a Cheerio in the milk but it just keeps floating back up the side? That's what I do when thinking that OHIO is done for good. But nope ... they just keep on elevating above mediocrity. | BGSU |

4 | Ball State L 17-31 |
2-3 (1-2) |
So you've just lost to Ball State. Do you (a) panic, (b) really panic, or (c) pray to the God of LeFevour for mercy? | @Virginia Tech |

Oh, goodness, the turnovers. Just 16 giveaways in five games. Hopefully they didn't schedule the Salvation Army for a home-and-home | (Oct. 16) @NIU |

I'm starting to think this MAC East trendy pick is starting to lose its flair. Much like my Tamagotchi. | Akron |
9 |
 |
7 | Idaho L 13-33 |
1-3 (1-0) |
So, does this team want to score points or what? They had 49 against Nicholls State and 51 vs. Michigan State, Toledo, and Idaho. | @Ball State |
10 |

10 | Buffalo L 26-28 |
1-4 (0-1) |
Can't run. Can't stop the run. Can't pass efficiently. Can't stop the pass very much. Can't get healthy on the offensive line. But they are the orangiest. | @OHIO |

13 | @CMU W 31-17 |
2-3 (1-0) |
It's Tuesday, so maybe it's time to lift our jaw up from the floor and insert it back into our mouth over this game. Possibly. We all recover at different times. | WMU |
12 |
 |
11 | NIU L 14-50 |
0-5 (0-1) |
Next weekend they're playing their rivals for a single wagon wheel, which may as well be a symbol of their own offense. | @Kent State |
13 |
 |
12 | OHIO L 17-30 |
0-5 (0-3) |
At least they're bringing in the nacho lovers. And also the sadists. | @Vanderbilt |

The Temple -NIU game should be a high scoring affair, with lots of rushing yards. Should be a good game, with NIU coming out on top.
