Games for November 14, 1992
---------------------------
Youngstown State at Akron: The Penguins paly their second consecutive in-state
                           Division I opponent when they Travel all teh way to
Akron to take on the Zips.  The Zips will be a little tougher for the 'guins
than the Bobcats proved to be having assured themselves of a tie for second
place (third if Ball State upsets Bowling Green) in their inagural year in the 
conference.
My pick, Akron by 7.

Ball State at Bowling Green: The Falcons have nothing more than pride to play
                             for as they host the Cardinals of Ball State this
week.  But Falcon pride will not be lacking in this one.  Ball State has played
some pretty good football, but shows signs of being a team which needs to find
some maturity and consistany.  None the less, Ball State can take second place 
(by virtue of playing and extra game) in the MAC with a win in Bowling Green.
My pick, Bowling Green by 3.

Kent at Miami: Kent has a struggling offense and Miami has a stifling defense.
               The Redskins should easily hadle the Flashes in Oxford.  If
Miami beats Kent they will join Akron, Western Michigan and
My pick, Miami by 7.

Eastern Michigan at Toledo: The Eagles have slipped to the bottom of many
                            people's computer ratings while Toledo has been a
good football team but inconsistant.  The Rockets do not want to find the kind
of consistancy that the Eagles have displayed.
My pick, Toledo by 9.

Central Michigan at Western Michigan: Central is tyring to go undefeated in the
                                      state of Michigan this year.  Maybe they 
will convince the Wolveriens to play them just to prove their worth?  Well, 
first they will have to beat a strong Bronco team in Kalamazoo.  That won't
be easy despite the Chippewas having one of the nation's best quarterbacks in 
Youngblood.
My pick, Western Michigan by 1.

Ohio at Colorado State: Tom Lichtenberg is getting healthy agian and maybe the 
                        mountain air will do him some good (assuming the 
Bobcats can get in and out with all the snow.)  The Rams have had a 
disappointing year, but tehy should handle the Bobcats at home.
My pick, Colorado State by 4.
