    Media voting

    edit

    On October 29, the members of the MAC News Media Panel voted in the Preseason Media Poll. They voted Ohio as the favorite in the MAC East Division and Toledo in the MAC West Division.[1]

    East Division
    Place Team 1st Points
    1 Ohio Bobcats 19 141 points
    2 Akron Zips 5 122 points
    3 Kent State Golden Flashes - 89 points
    4 Buffalo Bulls – 53 points
    5 Bowling Green Falcons - 54 points
    6 Miami RedHawks – 31 points
    West Division
    Place Team 1st Points
    1 Toledo Rockets 20 143 points
    2 Eastern Michigan Eagles 4 118 points
    3 Western Michigan Broncos - 88 points
    4 Ball State Cardinals 4 74 points
    5 Northern Illinois Huskies - 46 points
    6 Central Michigan Chippewas – 35 points

    The media also took a vote on who they think would win the MAC tournament at the end of the season. Unlike the preseason votes, the media would only select the winner of the tournament, and not the placement of the teams afterwards. Ohio received the most votes with 18, followed by Akron with six votes.
