If this was a horse race we'd all gone to the windows and picked the trifecta (and it would have payed peanuts).
At midseason, the entire conference 1 - 12 is pretty much the way the prognosticators picked it (although the East is pretty tight at the top, but I assume most had UB and BG at the bottom).
The MAC West is 1 - 6 the way almost everyone picked it (WMU, CMU, UT, EMU, NIU and BSU - I think everyone on the EMU board had it this way).
