So much for flying under the radar this season.

He has Memphis as a 10 seed.

Dayton vs Pitt as 11 vs 11 play-in game is an interesting pick.

Morehead State as an AQ 16 seed play-in game participant. Not a good look for the OVC. What's left of it.

Nice to see Bradley in here as well, since we have potential to play them in Myrtle.

Interesting choice in Troy for the Sun Belt champion. I still think James Madison has the most upside.

I like the national recognition. If you're a CBB fan/analyst, I don't think you can look at what we have returning and not like the upside.

I kind of like that he feels he needs to make sure that nobody thinks he’d put the Buckeyes as a 14 seed.

He knows better. Maybe he read the Beacon-Journal too much.

It's Beacon Journal which used to have one of the best sports sections in the state.

The College Experience Podcast had a nice full MAC preview for each team.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hsT0nyVz-CM

They had Boals on a few weeks ago as well. They have a ton of access for being a seemingly small youtube show. Tons of interviews with coaches. More than I've ever seen if we're being honest. Kinda wild.

MAC Regular Season Predictions (two hosts below)

1 - Ohio (Kent State wins tournament)
2 - Kent
3 - Akron
4 - Toledo

1 - Toledo (Ohio wins tournament)
2 - Ohio

4 - Kent

Sleeper: Kent State (cause they finished 8th last season)

Friend of the program Kevin Kuwik also interviewed.

It is different from extended MAC history how 4 programs have dominated since Nate Oats left Buffalo. The MAC for almost couple of decades had power ratings approximately on par with conferences that often earned at-large bids but parity prevented it from happening.
