To be realistic, the MAC is not even a conference that consistently has a team with strong NIT at-large credentials. For a number of years in the past decade, the best MAC candidate has been left on the outside of the bubble when the dust has settled on regular season champions of lower tier conferences losing the conference tournament and taking the NIT autobid.

Indeed, it's the 16 team, no auto-bid version of the NIT where with a dark horse taking out both the #1 and #2 seeds that the MAC gets two NIT seeds. But even there, all three MAC tournament teams this year will be playing a higher seeded team.
