Final MAC Power Rankings and Tourney Predictions
CMU and Akron come out as the two best teams in the MAC in this calculation. This should be one heck of a tourney. Predictions for tourney below are based solely on this ranking system, and do not take into account injuries, thus a likely too favorable advancement for an NIU.

NIU out in Round 1. I can't see WMU being that bad from 3 territory again.
I will take being wrong.
WMU 71
NIU 65
And then we wait for the phone to ring (maybe).

Please allow me to shamelessly defend for a second. While at the surface this did a bad job, some positives:
Kent and BG was a 5 vs 12 match up, my rankings had it as an 8 vs 12 matchup, so it at least showed correctly that Kent was maybe not as high as a 5 seed.
Ball State and Miami was a 6 vs 11, my rankings have been sending flags up about Ball State all season not being as good as their record and in my rankings this was a 10 vs 11 matchup. The one I feel worst about is EMU and Toledo, it looks like my rankings over-valued Toledo. This was a 8 vs 9 matchup and my rankings had it as a 3 vs 6. Numerically they weren't far apart though .68 and .64, and just being at home probably helped EMU quite a bit. My rankings have no way to adjust for home and away and are designed more for neutral court.
The NIU thing probably wont work out well though as it does not account for injuries either.

I didn't have any of the winners besides NIU advancing past the second round so that would stay the same the rest of the way, and unchanged my predictions the rest of the way. The Maric injury of course though blows up my entire prediction for NIU it appears. Akron and CMU in the semis is going to be one heck of a game, my rankings have them nearly even.
