2016 Week 7 Preview: Buffalo Bulls vs. Ball State Cardinals

Week seven is packed with MAC interdivisional play. Four match-ups feature MAC East-MAC West showdowns, but one stands out in particular—a former MAC Championship game.

Buffalo (1-4) and Ball State (3-3) square off for the 10th time on Saturday, but the most memorable battle transpired in 2008. The 2008 MAC Championship was one of the most meaningful in history, featuring a 12th-ranked undefeated Ball State team destined for a BCS Bowl and a heavy-underdog 7-5 Buffalo Bulls.

Drew Willy and the Bulls roared back in the second half to bust the Cardinals’ BCS hopes with a 42-24 win.
