MAC is also #8 in the old RPI system. In Sagarin, the MAC West is #9 and MAC East is #12. Where is the conference rated in Kenpom?

In Sagarin, only one MAC team is below 200, Western Michigan at #206. Ohio is #166. Ohio is in the 80s under the old RPI system.

Best season for this conference in many, many years.

Good to see, and I also agree with the conclusion that there really aren't any terrible teams in the conference this year. Weird to see WMU at the bottom of the list...wonder if Steve Hawkins time is up?

I look forward to revisiting these projections by KenPom.com in a month to see where things stand. It's hard for me to believe that NIU & BG maintain pace as top seeds in the MAC Tournament.

his teams always seem to finish strong. I would wait and see on WMU.
