... Ball State has, without a doubt, the toughest end of schedule.
If somehow BSU could go 3-1 in each of the four series, it could get them to a 40-16 record.
Even if Ball State came in 2nd to CMU, I think the NCAA committee would find it very to not pick Ball State as an at-large selection into the tourney.
40 wins, a split series with #7 Arizona, a split with SEC UK would be in BSU's favor.
Dropping 3 to #21 Old Dominion, and going 2-2 @ EMU would hurt BSU, but not too bad. The former is a road hiccup to a ranked team, and the latter was a road split that would've only happened once.
If we can take over 1st in the MAC, CMU could also have a shot at an at-large selection as well. If BSU can take 3 from CMU, CMU could still run the rest of the slate and end up with 41 wins.
