| W13 | Team | Tier | Change | Game | Comment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | NIU | 1 | 0 | Won at WMU | NIU crushed WMU and finish the season undefeated. |
| 2 | Ball State | 1 | 0 | Win vs Miami | Ball State was a Quarter from being where NIU is. Now they will have a Bowl and likely lose their coach. |
| 3 | BGSU | 2 | 1 | Win at Buffalo | Bowling Green came out way more prepared than Buffalo and it showed. |
| 4 | Toledo | 2 | -1 | Lost at Akron | Toledo really hurt their Bowl selection reputation at exactly the wrong time. They beat UB and BGSU but might be behind both |
| 5 | Buffalo | 3 | 0 | Loss vs BGSU | A terrible showing by UB's offensive coaching staff. They came in with a bad game plan and made no adjustment. |
| 6 | Akron | 3 | 1 | Won vs Toledo | Akron really peaked late in the year. They could be a team to watch in the East next season. |
| 7 | CMU | 3 | -1 | Won vs EMU | Not at all a bad win by CMU but does a 6 win CMU team get picked for a bowl two years in a row? |
| 8 | Kent | 4 | 0 | Bye | Kent had a rough season and lose a lot of talent. On the flip side Kent has a great young QB. |
| 9 | Ohio | 4 | 0 | Win vs UMass | Ohio halts a 3 game skid but this is clearly a team that is not playing their best ball going into Bowl season |
| 10 | EMU | 5 | 0 | Loss at CMU | The Eagles played the year better than I expected but I was not expecting a whole lot. Does Parrish trip into another HC job? |
| 11 | WMU | 5 | 0 | Loss vs NIU | The big hope for WMU fans is that Fleck will do well with the impressive recruiting class he has put together. |
| 12 | UMass | 5 | 0 | Loss at Ohio | Is Molinar the man to make UMass a respectable MAC program? |
| 13 | Miami | 5 | 0 | Loss at BSU | Worst Miami Season since 1900 or so, things can only go up from here. |
