The MAC simply refuses to be normal this year, it seems.
The more we think we know about teams, the more they turn around and throw us all a curveball, rendering whatever we may have thought previously straight out of the window. As we’ve progressed so far, the middle of the table has greatly expanded— to the point where even the top teams can’t escape the pull.
Not one team took solid grip of #1; many even struggled to have a grip at #2 and #3... it’s going to be one of those cannibal seasons in conference play if this pattern holds up.
