A quick search on the web yielded seven preseason predictions for the MAC. The predictors have basically divided each division into three segments. For the East, they generally have BGSUcks and Ohio 1-2; Kent, Buffalo and Fiami 3-5; Akron and UMass 6-7. For the West, the near consensus is NIU first; Toledo and BSU 2-3; WMU, CMU and EMU 4-6. I've summarized them below:
