Unless something drastic happens, I would say the MAC is 3-5 years away from consistently being slotted as a 16 seed.

Not good. "Good leaders being scarce, following yourself is allowed."

I'll be surprised if we would have a 16 seed as long as the bottom of the west doesn't win the conference tournament.

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

Right now, the best team from each conference is being put in the bracket. But once the tournaments play out, typically there are several tournaments were a team in the bottom 100s or even 200s wins and replaces a team that made have been 100 or higher. I can't imagine a MAC team getting less than a 15, but if things broke just right, it could happen.

And I usually shrug off Joe Mac' assertion that these conference rankings are cyclical (although I'm not sure Joe has brought this up recently). But I truly believe that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and that a look at most MAC teams' rosters will show that the future does look brighter. I can only think of Akron as a team that might take a step backward next year due to graduation losses.

I can only think of Akron as a team that might take a step backward next year due to graduation losses. Also, the coaches at CMU, EMU and NIU need to be replaced. I think CMU just gave Ziegler an extension to coach more bad basketball. EMU doesn't care, how else does Ramsey get to a 6th year? I am confident that NIU will pull the plug on Patton. Kowalczyk will turn Toledo around. Hawkins and Witherspoon are middling coaches who can usually keep their teams around Top 150. Ford, Dambrot and Coles typically field Top 100 teams. And my hope is that Taylor and Groce are trending up. Orr hasn't put much effort into recruiting but maybe the new arena will revive BG hoops.
