Rank	Team	+/-	Comment
1	Northern Illinois	0	It's not just their record but how they have dominated games that puts NIU atop the power rankings. If Lynch is on the Huskies can move at will.
2	Kent	0	Kent seems to do pretty much everything well and if Archers is healthy for the MACC they should be able to go punch for punch with the Huskies
3	Ball State	0	The Cardinals, under Lembo, has been the second most impressive turn around in the conference. The first being Kent
4	Toledo	0	Toledo fell short of their goals this season but the Rockets will have a chance for redempion during bowl season.
5	Bowling Green	0	Usually defense wins championships. While the Falcons did not win the division their defense could make them a menace in whatever bowl invites them.
6	Ohio	0	Tough year for the Bobcats. If they can heal up before their bowl game Ohio can bring home a win but as they stand they are way too banged up to be dangerous.
7	Central Michigan	-1	The Chips came close to an epic letdown at the hands of UMass but they rallied with 28 second half points. It's a thin year for Bowl eligible teams so CMU might get one.
8	Buffalo	1	After three years Coach Jeff Quinn has moved Buffalo from the absolute worst team in the MAC to a middle of the pack squad. They return 17 starters next season
9	Western Michigan	-2	Poor Bill Cubit. Lose to Buffalo, finish 4-8 and get fired. Buffalo's coach finished 4-8 and he gets a contract extension.
10	Miami	1	The RedHawks left a lot on the field this season and wasted the senior year of Zach Dysert. Next year could be very painful considering som eof their losses.
11	Eastern Michigan	1	Ron English has states that as far as he knows he will be back. He has EMU's budget and not his performance to thank for that.
12	UMass	0	Well the minutemen were not the worst team in the conference, but they sure were close
13	Akron	0	Akron showed a lot of potential this season but never really put together a game to show they had turned a corner.
