MAC Power Rankings: Week 1

I think there’s a handful of teams that for specific reasons can present challenges, but this is our conference to lose.

From 2-8 you’re gonna see teams jockey and bang heads all season long. But I think going forward CMU, EMU (bc of the size and zone) Toledo, Ball St and Kent St are the biggest threats. Maybe Akron and/or Ohio can challenge but we should dominate. And BG tends to always fall off.

If I had to break the MAC into tiers, this is how I would put it.

Tier 1:

  1. Buffalo

Tier 2:

  1. Ball State
  2. Toledo
  3. Kent State

Tier 3:

  1. Eastern Michigan
  2. Akron
  3. Central Michigan
  4. Bowling Green
  5. Miami

Tier 4:

  1. Ohio
  2. Western Michigan
  3. Northern Illinois

 

 

 

Welp, after that Kent and Ball loss, EMU has to jump back into tier 2 to me. I think Buffalo already beat the two best MAC teams. 

I think Ohio/NIU are better than Miami, that team isn't very good and can't score outside of Sibande.

Yep, it wasn't a good day for the higher ranked teams in my MAC tiers lol

I'm with you on your first point. It appears that EMU is one of the best teams in the conference despite their ugly start to the season.

Ohio is confusing to me. They're very inconsistent and you never know what to expect. Bowling Green is impressing a lot early on in MAC play. They could be the surprise team of the year.

EMU is going to give people fits with their rebounding ability and zone d.  Not to many teams play zone so credit us bc during the non conference we played Cuse and SIU threw some zone at us.  We were prepared for it whereas I'm sure other MAC teams aren't.  Scheduling matters.  Great job by the staff.
