So, back in August, before anything started, I made my picks for how the MAC would turn out for football. Now, it is time to pay the piper and review/laugh at what we came up with. Below are my picks, what actually happened, and my excuses.
East:
1. Ohio
Reality: 3rd
OU was hamstrung by injuries or this might have come true.
2. BG
Reality: 2nd
Boo.
Yah.
3. Miami
Reality: 5th
I thought they would be better and they were, but they didn't make as much progress as I expected.
4. Kent
Reality: 1st
Swiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnng and a miss.
I didn't like Kent's offense and they ended up scoring 35 points a game.
Nostra-freaking-damous.
I did say that I thought Hazell was going to be good and he was.
5. Buffalo
Reality: 4th
They were a little better than I expected but this one was pretty much on.
6. Akron
Reality: 7th
They were who we thought they were.
7. UMass
Reality: 6th
FBS Cherry-buster keeps them out of last. NY Times says, WTF Dude?
West
1. WMU
Reality: 5th
The Hindenburg of predictions. I thought they had the right games at home and they were finally going to break through and win. They went 2-6.
2. UT
Reality: 3rd
Two losses to the two teams that finished ahead of them doom Rockets.
3. NIU
Reality: 1
My pre-season comment was about their "unknown" QB.
4. CMU
Reality: 4th
How you like me now?
5. Ball State
Reality: 2nd
Ball State is an up and comer in an upwardly mobile MAC. They made more improvement than I expected, to be sure.
6. EMU
Reality: 6th
So obvious it barely even counts as right.
