You need to flip Ohio and Toledo on the men's bracket. Toledo has the edge due to head to head.

Fixed. For some reason the MAC website and standings on the internet show we are still #1

The MAC is a 5 team league this year with Toledo, Kent, Buffalo and us really separating from the rest of the pack. I add Akron only because we all know Groce teams find ways to win in March.

We're 2-3 against the top 4 teams.

This means regardless of seeding, once we get to semis it's going to be tough sledding.

One saving grace to getting the 1 seed might be that the 4/5 game could be a slugfest resulting in a tired team in semis.

Beyond that not sure final seeding matters. Whether we play CMU or Fiami etc in quarters should definitely be a W. Avoiding Toledo until finals is nice (and likely) but we just saw how Kent handed us our lunch, and don't sleep on Buffalo just because we beat them earlier. They are peaking and have the talent to give us fits. If we played them a 2nd time I wouldn't be overly confident. So just avoiding Toledo isn't the end-all. Can't avoid them all.

Until we figure out a way to consistently knock down 3s and keep guys healthy/fresh for 3 games in 3 days, nothing else might matter.

MAC semifinal night is big nuts college basketball most years. The few times we made that round look easy (last year vs Toledo, 2013 vs WMU) I thought we played our A+ game. We will need to be really, truly ON to win in the semis.

+1 with this. Not going to be easy this year. Most likely will be attending the quarterfinal this year in Cleveland! Not sure on the Semi or Final but I will beg the girlfriend to go to them as well.
