Rank	Team	Pvs	chg	RPI	Record	MAC	Last	Comment
1	CMU	2	1	98	16-10	6-0	3-0 @ Miami	Central continues to roll and Ball State's stumble against Buffalo makes the Chips a clear choice for number one this week
2	BSU	1	-1	102	17-10	4-1	1-1 @ UB	BSU had UB on the ropes but let the Bulls back into a game after falling behind 8-0. But they followed that up by shutting down UB the next game.
3	Kent	4	1	109	14-10	4-2	2-1 @ EMU	Kent is looking like a top five team but if they are losing games to teams that should not be beating them.
4	Buffalo	5	1	162	11-9	3-2	1-1 vs BSU	Buffalo showed heart in their first game at BSU but they also showed some bad fielding as well. For UB consistency is a problem.
5	Miami	3	-2	95	10-15	2-4	0-3 v CMU	Miami was swept at home against CMU. They host Akron next weekend in what should be a good barometer for both teams.
6	Akron	6	0	181	12-11	5-1	2-1 @ TOL	Akron's rank did not change but for all intents and purposes I consider them to be "Tied" with UB and Miami.
7	WMU	7	0	176	12-11	3-2	2-0 v Ohio	Sweeping Ohio is not going to move you up too much but it's got feel good for WMU to be over 500.
8	BGSU	9	1	243	6-15	2-4	2-1 v NIU	The defending MAC champs are not looking very "champ-like" this season. Giving up wins at home against NIU does not help their cause.
9	Toledo	8	-1	167	9-14	2-4	1-2 v Akron	Toledo was a borderline 500 team when they entered conference play but a 2-4 start is dropping them, and their RPI, like a stone.
10	NIU	11	1	233	4-19	2-4	1-2 v BGSU	The Huskies seem to be good enough to steal a game here or there but with CMU and Ball State still on their schedule getting to the MAC postseason looks unlikely.
11	EMU	10	-1	207	10-13	1-5	1-2 v Kent	The good news for EMU is that they got their first conference inw, the bad news is they got beaten at home in yet another MAC series.
12	Ohio	12	0	287	4-19	0-5	0-2 @ WMU	Ohio is, well, Ohio… Eventually they will get a win in conference, maybe…
