What's Happening?
Ashland University and the University of Findlay are set to face off in a crucial college football game that will determine the champion of the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC). The game, scheduled
for November 8 at 1 p.m. ET, will take place at Jack Miller Stadium in Ashland, Ohio. Both teams are undefeated in conference play, with Findlay holding a 9-0 overall record and Ashland at 8-1. The winner of this matchup will secure an automatic bid to the NCAA Division II playoffs. The game will not be broadcast on traditional TV but can be streamed live via FloCollege.
Why It's Important?
This game is significant as it not only decides the G-MAC champion but also impacts the national rankings and playoff positions in NCAA Division II football. Findlay is currently ranked ninth nationally, while Ashland is ranked 15th. The outcome of this game could influence the playoff seedings and the path each team might take in the postseason. Additionally, the game highlights the competitive nature of the G-MAC, showcasing the high level of talent and strategy in Division II football. The stakes are high, as both teams have strong defensive records, making this a potentially low-scoring and tightly contested game.
What's Next?
Following this game, both teams will have one more regular season game. Ashland will face Lake Erie, while Findlay will play against Tiffin. The results of these games could further impact their playoff standings and preparations. The winner of the Ashland vs. Findlay game will focus on maintaining their momentum into the playoffs, while the losing team will need to regroup and strategize for their final regular season game and potential playoff berth.
