Interesting that Ohio got more first place votes but still not ahead of Akron.

Someone is really drinking the CMU kool-aid.

Most likely most (if not) all of the 5 that picked Buffalo to win picked Akron 2nd and Ohio 3rd, which would be your difference.

Here's something that's fascinating to me: The PRE-season All-MAC teams include a Center, two Forwards, and two Guards.

At the end of the year, it's just the guys that got the most votes. Last Spring we had one guard and four bigs. What gives?

Elton's personal picks in The Sporting News were a lot different.
