The Bulls jump into the top spot after a week off. Some may say that they haven't faced impressive competition, but until they stop pilling up the wins, they're looking like the best team in the MAC. |
#2 - Ohio |

After being ouscored 47-20 in the 2nd half @ Cincinnati the Bobcats were outrebounded by Div. II Shippensburg on Saturday. Lucky for Ohio and the MAC they still won 73-57. Thursday's game against Detroit in Athens will tell us if the Bobcats have lost some of their swagger from the beating @ UC. |
#3 - Miami |
4-2 |

A week off after a home loss to Xavier keeps them from passing Ohio. |
#4 - Akron |
3-2 |

It's hard to get a read on this team until they face some mediocre opposition. So far most of their games have been against top teams or bottom-feeders. |
#5 - Northern Illinois |
4-2 |

NIU got a win over Wright State before losing by 1 point to Illinois-Chicago. The Huskies host 7-1 Kansas State on Tuesday night in a potential "MAC Statement Game." |
#6t - Kent State |

Off week for the Flashes. |

Nice to see UT get the win over the Bonnies. Wednesday vs. CUSA's East Carolina (3-5) will be a nice test to see where the Rockets are. |
#8 - Ball State |
4-2 |

Tuesday's game at Drexel would be a great opportunity to get revenge for last season's home loss in the Bracket Buster game. |
#9 - Eastern Michigan |

Not much better than Western. The only thing seperating them at this point is that Western Michigan is playing below expectations, while Eastern is meeting expectations. The Eagles host 3-5 Tulsa out of CUSA on Thursday. |
#10 - Western Michigan |
2-4 |

Respectable loss by 15 @ USC. A 15 point loss to USC in football would have been better. |
#11 - Bowling Green |
2-6 |

Finally at full strength, the Falcons looked solid in their loss to Florida State on Saturday night and actually led in the 2nd half. |
#12 - Central Michigan |
2-6 |

Only lost by 10 to Southern Illinois. Close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades. |
