We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

A lot of times, several of those teams ahead of the MAC rep, maybe with RPIs in the 50s, 60s or 70s, get beat in their conference tournament and instead a team maybe in the 100s gets in. This always happens in multiple leagues. But it does show what a down year the MAC is having this year.

In his defense, he doesn't just think the MAC is weak. Everything is weak.

Now that you mention "everything is weak", there may be something to that statement. With all the best players in the NBA, there doesn't seem to be a dominant team. If Butler can make the final and we can beat Georgetown, maybe we're getting closer to parity across the board. If OSU gets a number 1 seed, do you think they will go to Cleveland?
