DETROIT — If last year was a precursor to what might happen this fall, the Mid-American Conference West Division will be in for another barnburner of a race for the championship.
Four teams – Western Michigan, Northern Illinois, Toledo and Central Michigan – all finished 6-2 within the MAC West in 2015 to each earn a share of the division title. The Huskies won the tiebreaker to advance to the MAC Championship Game at Ford Field in Detroit, where they fell 34-14 to Bowling Green last December.
Eight months later, it was a return to Ford Field for MAC Media Day as prognostications were made for how 2016 will shake out within the conference.
