Northern Illinois v Miami Ohio

It’s been awhile since I did this, so some of the changes are dramatic.

Rank	Team	PR	Δ	Comment
1	Miami	2	1	Miami flubbed a game against Kent and didn't do well with a world beater of an OOC schedule but outside of that they are the most consistent team in the MAC right now
2	Toledo	6	4	Do I have them too high? maybe, but Toledo still has the best overall record in the conference and are a scant half game out of first in the West
3	Ohio	4	1	Different year, same tune, Ohio looks good then gives up a game or two late in the year that relegated them to second or third in the East.
4	WMU	7	3	WMU is exceeding what I thought they would do. They control their own destiny in the West
5	Buffalo	8	3	Buffalo is peaking at the right time. Back to back wins and cominate defense against CMU and WMU put them in a good spot to make a Bowl Run
6	CMU	10	4	Aside from the loss at Buffalo the Chips are doing what they need to do. They need a little help but a trip to Detroit is not out of the question
7	NIU	3	-4	It's a rebuilding year for NIU, but when your "rebuild" is still middle of the MAC you have things pretty good
8	BSU	1	-7	Two straight losses and they are down in the west. They can do a lot towards the post season against CMU this week
9	EMU	5	-4	EMU needs to win two games to get to 6, they have Akron and Kent on deck. So a Bowl is not out of the question but being 1-4 in the MAC at this point has some fans grumbling.
10	Kent	9	-1	Member' when Kent was 2-0 and led the MAC East? I do... The have lost three straight in conference and have UB, BSU, and EMU on deck.
11	BGSU	11	0	Bowling Green has UB, Ohio, and Miami left, the three teams ahead of them in the East.
12	Akron	12	0	Akron still has Ohio and Miami... It would be a very good thing for UB fans if AKron won those games but the zips have not scored a TD since mid October
