Do you agree with those standings through 10 weeks of basketball? Just seems weird to see Miami of OH & Ohio U at the bottom of the MAC for those fans that have followed MAC Mens Basketball for along time. Kent State has a chance to move up in these rankings this week with Toledo coming to the MACC and then @ Ball State, home vs CMU, & @ Buffalo over the next 4 games.

I think 7 is kinda low, but not insulting. I really don't see what Toledo is doing to deserve 4th.

At this point it is way to jumbled to make any sense of anything. Except at the bottom. Time will tell. I personally don't care where they put us right now. Toledo is only where they are based on where everyone thought they would finish before the year even started. Much like college football rankings.

I like our team. We have 3 senior guards who are pretty good. None are great, but they are all pretty good. We have 2 forwards who are pretty consistent (yes, Ortiz is now in this category for me) and a big man who is serviceable. Coming off the bench we have a few guys who are capable on any given night. In my eyes, that's a pretty good setup and one that has the potential to end well.

Hard to say so early on but it is nice to finally see 8 teams over .500 at this point in the season.
