| 1 | Buffalo | 1 | 0 | Big win versus Miami, UB’s big play offense was able to make up for a poor defensive showing. But special teams is the real problem. | vs Kent |
| 2 | NIU | 2 | 0 | NIU has been winning a lot of games on defense, so scoring 36 points against Akron bodes well for the rest of their season. | vs Toledo |
| 3 | Ohio | 3 | 0 | Ohio made a strong statement against WMU, they have big tests coming up against Miami and Buffalo in the next two weeks. | at Miami |
| 4 | EMU | 4 | 0 | More impressive than the wins that Eastern is starting to find ways to come out on top in close games. They have a path to seven wins. | vs Akron |
| 5 | Toledo | 6 | 1 | Koback had two first-half touchdowns as the Rockets buried Ball State early. Next up is NIU in a must win game if Toledo wants the MAC West | at NIU |
| 6 | Miami | 5 | -1 | The Redhawks through everything they could at Buffalo but it just was not enough. They can still win the East but need a lot of help | vs Ohio |
| 7 | Akron | 8 | 1 | The Zips gave NIU a real game throughout, and Kato Nelson is developing into a very solid quarterback | at EMU |
| 8 | WMU | 7 | -1 | At 6-4 WMU has games against the Huskies and Ball State, given what happened to two 6-6 MAC teams last year they need to beat BSU | bye |
| 9 | Ball State | 9 | 0 | With the loss to Toledo Ball State is eliminated from Bowl contention. | bye |
| 10 | Kent | 11 | 1 | They finally won a close game and look to play spoiler next week against Buffalo. | at Buffalo |
| 11 | BGSU | 10 | -1 | BGSU came close to winning that pillow fight, but Kent put them away late. | at CMU |
| 12 | CMU | 12 | 0 | John Bonamego is probably now on the hottest seat in the MAC. | vs BGSU |
