MAC Predictions Reviewed, with an appropriate level of satisfaction

OK, so with the regular season now concluded, it is time to look back and see how my predictions fared.  My predictions are below, with actual finishes listed in parantheses to the right.

This is actually pretty good.  Last year, if you totaled up the distance from what I had to what actually happened, there was a gap of 26 points.  This year, it was 12.  A few notes:

• The media had 18.  So there.
• In the East, I didn't miss anyone by more than one.
• Saw the Buffalo thing coming.
• Didn't overrate Akron.
• Biggest mistake was faith in Ball State and lack of faith in NIU.

So, you know, for wild-ass, uniformed, unpaid and generally insipid predictions....not too bad.
