Kind of. They were shown that way based on S&P+ rank but Ohio and BG actually have slightly higher projected MAC win totals based on schedule.
Projected MAC wins, overall wins and S&P+ rank:
Miami 5.5, 7.3, 80
Ohio 4.0, 5.5, 110
BG 4.0, 5.3, 101
Kent 3.9, 5.1, 108
Buffalo 3.7, 5.5, 106
Akron 1.7, 2.6, 129
Here are offense and defense rankings:
Miami 61, 99
BG 111, 80
Buffalo 95, 107
Kent 66, 122
Ohio 91, 113
Akron 124, 126
Essentially it says Miami's offense gives it the edge but ultimately it comes down to who wins close games because five of the six are reasonably even.
