Bracket is set up nicely for Akron to once again make a deep run.

I agree that of the top 4 seeds, Buffalo got the toughest draw. Here is my best guess at percentages of chance to win the MAC tournament, based on match-ups:

1. Akron 22%
2. Western 18%
3. Buffalo 15.1%
4. Ohio 14.6%
5. Kent 8.7%
6. Toledo 5.9%
7. Central Michigan 3.7%
8. Ball State 3.6%
9. Eastern Michigan 3.0%
10. Northern Illinois 2.5%
11. Bowling Green 2.0%
12. Miami 0.9%

Somehow I had WMU and Ball State seeding backwards on my original post. I thought WMU had the 4 seed. Here is my adjustment based on Ball State being the 4 seed:

1. Akron 24%
2. Buffalo 15.1%
3. Ohio 14.6%
4. Western 11.1%
5. Kent 8.7%
6. Ball State 8.0%
7. Toledo 5.9%
8. Central Michigan 3.7%
9. Eastern Michigan 3.3%
10. Northern Illinois 2.7%
11. Bowling Green 2.0%
12. Miami 0.8%

would say the hottest teams in the league right now are

western kent ball st so one of them would be the likely pick

akron is the only team good enough win when they don't play their best

toledo and eastern are the only opening round teams that have the talent to win 4 tourney games (sorry WMU) if either can play with consistent energy

buffalo always finds a way to break the bracket and win the thing lately

I believe you are VASTLY underrating Western Michigan. Granted they have played very few .500 teams or better in their streak ... but they are rolling all the dregs.
