Time to predict the season game by game.  As always, bickering about other people's picks is not allowed unless step up and make picks yourself.

Conference record (total 18):    13-5
Overall record (total 30) :    21-9

MAC Tournament - Semi's vs UB or Toledo. Finals vs Akron again.
Postseason (if applicable) - Beat Akron to go Dancin'.  Lose to Akron, see you in the CBI.


I gotta believe that it will take 14-15 wins in the new 18 game format to win the league outright.  I think the divide in the league will be noticeable this year with Akron, Ohio, Kent, and Toledo leading the way, with Buffalo and Western in the next group, and then the rest-- Ball St, EMU, CMU, Miami, BGSU, and NIU will be bad.  I also think the top half of the league will be much closer than in recent years.

Cheers to a "W" tomorrow!

A fair amount of us are still perfect and a couple more haven't missed many. The next couple games should separate everyone out a bit. Above average amount of disagreement over the next couple games...

By the way, this is missing our game against Alabama A&M next week.  ESPN lists it as a road game but I believe it's a home game, is it not?

Jeez, whoever put this together did a shoddy job.  Sorry about that, but I think it is safe to assume we would all count that as a win...Except maybe McKinney.
