For the first time in what seems like five years or so, BG wasn’t picked to finish last in its division in the MAC! Athlon’s magazine is out and the Falcons were picked to finish third in the MAC East. Here’s the breakdown of the MAC:

MAC East
1. Kent State
2. Miami
3. Bowling Green
4. Ohio
5. Akron
6. Buffalo

MAC West
1. Western Michigan
2. Eastern Michigan
3. Toledo
4. Central Michigan
5. Ball State
6. Northern Illinois

All-MAC First Team
Michael Bramos, Miami
Al Fisher, Kent State
David Kool, Western Michigan
Carlos Medlock, Eastern Michigan
Anthony Newell, Ball State

MAC Player of the Year: David Kool, Western Michigan

NCAA Tournament: Kent State

NIT: Western Michigan

This is the most wide open the MAC has been in years. There is no clear favorite in the East, and I could see anybody winning it except Buffalo.

Western will be everybody's pick in the West, but by no stretch of the imagination will they dominate. There are no other teams in the West that I'd expect to by above 500, so Western might win 20 games.

Did it have a schedule? This is getting ridiculous.
