The MAC East has dominated the conference for well over a decade and in that time there have been four very consistent powers. Really nobody else in the conference has had any kind of established relevance.
Take the MAC tournament seeding...
When we ignore the old rule which gave the MAC West winner the number two seed here are how the four have fared for the past decade.
- Buffalo is on average a three seed and has been a top 4 seed eight times.
- Ohio is on average a five seed and has been a top 4 seed four times
- Akron is on Average a four seed and has been a top 4 seed five times
- Kent is on average a four seed and has been a top 4 seed six times
But enough about the regular season, what about winning in Cleveland.
