I've posted a couple of updates at MAC Report Online under a new weekly feature we are calling MAC Hoopla (damn, that's soooo clever and original, isn't it?).

Anyway, in this week's MAC Hoopla we have the following stories:

Eastern Bloc Dominates West (East 21-4 vs West)
MAC Tournament Changes (Four teams will recevie 1st round byes)
Home Cookin' (Home Court a major advantage in the MAC)
Non-Conference Records (vs other conferences)
Record-Shattering Starts (Fast Starts by several squads)
Legends Honored (Two legends...one at EMU, one at Ohio)
The Coaching Hot Seat (Three coaches whose resumes may need updating)
Individual Statistical Leaders
This Week's MAC Schedule

If that's not enough, I have also posted our updated, through January 15, composite RPI rankings for each school and the conference as well. Just click this link: Composite RPI

I think you have the 1st round bye process wrong, as noted in another posting (either here or on the other MAC forum).

The weekly release on the MAC basketball page states that the 1st place team in each division gets a bye. The other 2 byes are based on record, regardless of division. So 2nd place in a division doesn't necessarily get a bye if 2 better records in the other division.

You are correct. Thanks.
