Analysis: Sorting out Mid-American Conference football in 2024
Although there hasn’t been a repeat winner in the Mid-American Conference since the early 2010s, there has been a noticeable trend in the last 11 seasons. A handful of teams have won multiple league titles since then, and any one of them could hoist the trophy at Ford Field again this year. Defending MAC champion Miami will try to become the first back-to-back winner since Northern Illinois in 2011 and 2012. The RedHawks (11-3 overall, 7-1 MAC), who have some key veterans returning, are coming off their best season since 2003 when they went 13-1 and won the league title. Toledo, the 2022 MAC champion, fell to Miami a year ago in Detroit. Both teams, along with Bowling Green, have won two MAC titles since 2012, while Northern Illinois has won three.
