MAC Midseason College Football Predictions: Every Game, Record, and Bowl Teams for 2024

It's the calm before the storm.

Next year UMass will be in the MAC, but Toledo and Northern Illinois could soon be off to the Mountain West, other programs are being wooed, and ...

For now, just enjoy another wild and wacky season in the MAC.

So far we've seen a Northern Illinois win at Notre Dame, a Toledo blowout victory at Mississippi State, and a strongly competitive all-around year with everyone but Kent State, Akron, and Ball State realistically in the hunt.

Can Miami roar back after a brutal schedule to start the season? Will Western Michigan, Central Michigan, and Eastern Michigan make some more noise? Can Buffalo keep this going?

At the midseason, below we predict every remaining game along with the conference race and every MAC team's record.
