What I wonder, consider this an intellectual exercise, is how would you seed the top 8 teams if you were a one-man seeding committee (like they do for the NCAA tourney).

Some might go by the actual standings. Others may play their hunch on hot or cold teams.

The bottom line is that there are a handful of good teams but I'm not sure how I'd rank them. The teams with the best record(s) are not necessarily the hottest teams the last two weeks.

Random draw / lottery

With my head:
1 UB BYE
2 TOLEDO BYE
3 BSU BYE
4 WMU BYE

5 EMU vs 12 NIU
6 MIAMI vs 11 Akron
7 KENT vs 10 CMU
8 BG vs 9 OU

Mith my heart:

1 UB vs 8 BSU
2 Toledo vs 7 NIU
3 Akron vs. 6 CMU
4 WMU vs 5 EMU

9-12 DONT MAKE IT

1 UB vs 5 EMU
2 TOLEDO vs 6 CMU

Toledo vs. EMU in championship

Toledo MACC

If WMU wins out and Ball State drops a game, WMU will take the 3 seed.
