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 |
