There’s a thread on Volleytalk looking at all the conferences and teams chances of getting into the Big VB Dance. Here what is said about the MAC, with all the discussion of course on Ohio. Hopefully, of course, Ohio takes care of business and there is no bubble issue. (Credit trojansc, All-American, with the following look at the MAC)
Mid-American
The 8-team conference tournament will be hosted at undefeated in MAC-play Ohio (21-4, 14-0). The Bobcats are the only team to beat Northern Illinois (20-8, 13-1 MAC) Ohio's four losses come to Hawaii, Texas A&M, Northwestern, and Arizona State. The latter two went to five-sets. Again, all bubble teams will be rooting for Ohio to win the MAC tournament. The Bobcats have four remaining matches, their toughest match remaining is a home-match against Miami of Ohio, who is on a 9-game winning streak. Should Ohio finish the MAC undefeated and is upset in the conference tournament championship game, I think the Bobcats still will squeeze in. If they are upset in the quarterfinals or semifinals, I think they are out. Their situation is eerily similar to Western Kentucky.
p.s. one correction- Ohio will have a double bye and will not appear in a quarterfinal match.
