MAC Power Rankings: Next Stop! end of the Line

New, 2 comments
For several teams the train went off the tracks kind of early..

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
