BUFFALO, N.Y. — The undefeated Buffalo Bulls’ bid to clinch the Mid-American Conference East Division title were placed on hold on Friday before they even had a chance to play a down.

Four hours into their trip to play Ohio, Buffalo turned its buses around upon being informed its game on Saturday was canceled and declared a no contest because the Bobcats’ roster was depleted as a result of players testing positive for COVID-19.

The cancelation left Buffalo (4-0) in limbo, waiting for the conference to determine whether the school has won the division title and a berth in the MAC championship game in Detroit on Dec. 18.

Buffalo would’ve clinched the berth with a win over Ohio (2-1).
