As I sat down to write these power rankings, I realized just how talented this conference is yet again. Over the past 2 seasons, the MAC has sent 2 teams to each NCAA Tournament, collecting a total of 5 wins. Last season, Miami and Ohio were listed as 2 of the 4 closest teams to making the tournament. Change a handful of games, and the MAC very well could have sent 4 teams to one tournament! With the talent and coaching that returns this season, I fully expect the 2+ trend to continue. With multiple teams with big winnable games, this could be the year where the MAC turns the corner and establishes an even bigger reputation.
