Western Michigan tests its spotless record against the Ohio Bobcats on Friday night at Ford Field in a clash for the Mid-American Conference Championship.
On opposing divisions of the conference, the two teams have yet to clash on the field in 2016. The potential conference champions last met a season ago, concluding in a lopsided 49-14 Bronco victory in Athens, OH.
Something to watch for heading into the championship game will be how WMU and Ohio fared against common cross-divisional opponents. Both teams held court with six common opponents in conference play:
Western Michigan 41, Akron 0
Ohio 9, Akron 3
Both teams held their own on defense against the Zips.
