Media voting
On October 29, the members of the MAC News Media Panel voted in the Preseason Media Poll. They voted Ohio as the favorite in the MAC East Division and Toledo in the MAC West Division.
The media also took a vote on who they think would win the MAC Tournament at the end of the season. Unlike the preseason votes, the media would only select the winner of the tournament, and not the placement of the teams afterwards. Ohio received the most votes with 18, followed by Akron with six votes.
