Ohio – 20 percent

The Bobcats can only handle what’s on their plate: winning 12 games, followed by a win over the MAC West champion in the conference title game. Then we’re looking at 13-0, the finest season in program history and, believe it or not, the most successful season by a MAC program in league history.

But would it be enough? Would voters – and computers – think enough of Ohio’s undefeated season to put it high enough in the polls and the B.C.S. rankings? That’s Ohio’s greatest fear: that 13 wins isn’t good enough.

There’s no team left that should beat the Bobcats, though there’s reason to think, based on the fact that this is not a perfect team, that an underdog could pop up and score an upset win. Remember: Ohio must finish in the top 16 to be in the B.C.S. mix. It’s going to be close – because come November, everyone and their mother is going to be ragging on the Bobcats’ schedule.

Didn't Marshall finish 13-0 in 1999?

That was back when we played 11 games......maybe that's what they meant? Two of their wins were technically "post season" with the MACC and a bowl win.

13-0 puts us in the top ten period. The human polls will have us there. If we are able to run the table it will be a great accomplishment. Its very hard to do. Typically the national title game has atleast one team with a loss and perhaps both with a loss.  An unbeaten team really sticks out.
