For more than half of the MAC the season is officially over for several a bowl is guarenteed and fore a few more there is hope of some post season MACtion.
It's the end of the line for:
iCoach: Relieved of duties almost as soon as the whistle blew on their last game
The Chazz Man: Gave Buffalo a little spark but not enough to win too many games
The Chip Dynasty: One bad season does not a dynasty end but two awful ones marks its passing
Kent's Doormat status: Not a winning season but better results and some decent recruits raise hopes
The Intimidating 'Clawfense': It's become pretty clear that Toledo made a better hire than Bowling Green.
Two FCS games: One game against FAU instead of an FCS team and EMU might be Bowling
A loaded Senior Class: Miami returned almost everyone but could not win the close games, next season they will have a lot of fresh faces.
| Team | Change | Comment |
|---|---|---|
| NIU | - | Solid season by NIU but they lost the kind of games you must win to be ranked, like Kansas. |
| Toledo | - | Really a toss up with NIU they did lose by three but there out of conference results impress |
| Ohio | - | They choked twice against UB and Ball State but what should worry them in the MACC is the lack of comfortable wins |
| Temple | - | Temple is going to spend a lot of time near or at the top of the East eventually the ball will bounce their way |
| WMU | 1 | WMU came on really strong as the season wore on, they might catch a bowl opponent napping |
| Ball | -1 | Ball State has a very, very outside shot at a bowl they did well in the close games but not well enough |
| Miami | 1 | Way better than their record indicates, they lost their last three conference games by a score or less |
| EMU | -1 | looks nice on paper but EMU has just one 'good' win over the Broncos everyone else they beat was a loser |
| BGSU | 1 | Started strong then got really bad. Things look good in the future as they have, maybe, the next MAC's QB |
| Kent | -1 | Came on strong in the second half of the season but they just dug themselves too deep of a hole early on. |
| CMU | 1 | One of two MAC coaches who start 2012 with a very hot seat. CMU went from head basher to joke in two seasons |
| Buffalo | -1 | The other MAC coach with a very hot seat in 2012. You wont last long with wins over FCS teams and Akron. |
| Akron | - | The Coach hunt has begun and once again we learn "Notre Dame Pedigree" does not mean what it used to |

Re 2 FCS games
I’m fairly certain that EMU was originally supposed to open against Howard and then one of the Louisiana schools (Lafayette or Monroe), but the Louisiana school backed out late and EMU had to scramble to fill the hole.
