Ball State vs James Madison: Who Will Win

One 70-50 win over North Carolina later and James Madison is now on everyone’s hot list to make the College Football Playoff as the top Group of Five champion.

It turned things up several notches against the Tar Heels, and now it’s up to the suddenly high-powered passing game to keep it going.

Ball State got rolled by Miami as it helped put Cam Ward in the Heisman spotlight, and it didn’t hold up against Central Michigan last week. The Cardinal O will be okay, but it won’t keep up.

Don’t expect a repeat of last week, but James Madison’s attack will be efficient.
