The MAC enters another year with familiar faces at the top of the projected standings, but could there be a changing of the guard in the West Division? Northern Illinois has won six consecutive West Division titles and is positioned for another run at the MAC Championship with 12 returning starters. However, Western Michigan is a team on the rise behind coach P.J.
If you head to Gampel for a game this season, be aware there are new traffic patterns. All of the facts and information you need about Washington Huskies basketball coaches, past and present. The Huskies are currently coached by Mike Hopkins.
Fleck, and the Broncos host Northern Illinois on Oct. 8 for a game that could decide the division winner. New coach Jason Candle isn’t expected to make many changes at Toledo, and the Rockets remain squarely in the mix for the West Division title. The picture is murkier in the East Division. Ohio is Athlon’s pick to win this division, but Bowling Green and Akron aren’t far behind.
And it may not take a 7-1 or 6-2 record to win the East. The Falcons have to replace quarterback Matt Johnson, the Zips lost key players on both sides of the ball, and the Bobcats also have to find an answer under center. Athlon’s projections have the top three teams from the East tied at 5-3 for the league title, with Ohio – the projected champion – checking in at No. 91 nationally. Five Key Questions That Will Shape the MAC in 2016 1. Will Northern Illinois Win its Seventh West Division Title in a Row? It’s a simple word, but it’s the best way to describe Northern Illinois’ run in the MAC West over the last six years.

The Huskies have claimed six straight trips to the MAC title game and earned three conference titles in that span. And under coach Rod Carey, Northern Illinois has lost only three conference games since 2013.
While last season’s six losses were the most since 2009, there’s no reason to panic in DeKalb. Injuries were largely to blame for last year’s losses, including a season-ending ailment to starting quarterback Drew Hare in early November.
With Hare back under center, the Huskies should own one of the MAC’s top offenses once again. Additionally, new coordinators Kevin Kane (defense) and Mike Uremovich (offense) should provide a spark on both sides of the ball. However, there are obstacles for Carey’s team to overcome. The Huskies lose three All-MAC performers on defense, and two first-team all-conference linemen depart on offense. The schedule also features a road game at Western Michigan, and the home date against Toledo was moved to U.S. Cellular Field in Chicago.
Western Michigan or Toledo in the West? While Northern Illinois has owned the MAC West over the last six seasons, Athlon is picking against the Huskies in 2016. It’s a close call at the top, but Western Michigan and Toledo are Athlon’s pick to take the top spots in the West. Why Western Michigan? The Broncos host both the Rockets and Huskies this season – a critical scheduling note after all three teams tied at 6-2 at the top of the league in 2015.
Western Michigan also returns eight starters from a dynamic offense. Quarterback Zach Terrell is the MAC’s top signal-caller, and receiver Corey Davis should be an All-American pick in 2016. Additionally, Western Michigan has recruited well under coach P.J. Fleck, and this program has been trending up over the last two seasons.
While Matt Campbell was a rising star at Toledo, new coach Jason Candle will keep the Rockets in contention for the MAC title. A deep backfield and standout line leads the way on offense, while the addition of graduate transfers Earl Moore (DT) and Jeremi Powell (LB) add talent to a defense that returns only four starters. Another tight race at the top of the division should be expected, but Western Michigan’s favorable home slate should help this program earn its first trip to the MAC title game since 2000. Is there a Clear Favorite in the East Division? The MAC’s East Division was one of the toughest leagues to sort out in Athlon’s prediction meetings for the magazine. Bowling Green has won the last three East Division titles, but the Falcons have a new coach (Mike Jinks) and lose standout quarterback Matt Johnson and receivers Roger Lewis and Gehrig Dieter.
Jinks should keep a similar offensive style in place, but he’s never been a head coach or coordinator at the FBS level. Akron has made progress under coach Terry Bowden and is coming off the best season in program history. However, the Zips return only six starters and must replace five starters on the offensive line.
With uncertainty at Akron and Bowling Green, Athlon’s pick to win the East is Ohio. The Bobcats haven’t had a losing record since 2008 and are a steady winner under coach Frank Solich. Ohio isn’t without its share of personnel concerns, as a quarterback must emerge, and the secondary needs to find three new starters. However, the Bobcats host Bowling Green and Akron and won’t have to play Northern Illinois or Western Michigan from the West Division in crossover play.
Central Michigana Sleeper in the MAC West? The balance of power in the MAC is clearly slanted to the West Division for 2016. The league’s top four teams reside in that division this year. Northern Illinois, Toledo and Western Michigan are considered the top three teams, but Central Michigan shouldn’t be overlooked. Under first-year coach John Bonamego, the Chippewas tied for the MAC West title at 6-2 in league play last season. Central Michigan is aiming even higher in Bonamego’s second year, and the return of quarterback Cooper Rush should keep the Chippewas within striking distance of the top three.
Rush is surrounded by a deep group of receivers, and the ground attack should improve with a full year from running back Devon Spalding. Additionally, the defense returns seven starters, with the line getting a boost from Joe Ostman’s return from injury. Central Michigan has to play at Northern Illinois and Toledo, but rival Western Michigan visits Mount Pleasant. The Chippewas are just a step behind the top three in Athlon’s overall power rankings for 2016. However, Rush is capable of carrying this team to the MAC title game.
Miami and Buffalo on the Rise? As mentioned above, there’s not a clear favorite in the East Division. And with the uncertainty and personnel question marks surrounding Ohio, Akron and Bowling Green, could a surprise team emerge to win the division? If so, keep a close eye on Buffalo and Miami.
Huskies Head East For Mac
The RedHawks have made steady progress under coach Chuck Martin, and with 13 returning starters, this team is poised to challenge for at least a.500 mark in conference play. Miami needs to settle on a quarterback, but a favorable schedule should allow the RedHawks to easily exceed last year’s three wins. Lance Leipold was one of the top head coach hires from 2015, and the future for the Buffalo program is still bright after a 5-7 record last season.
Quarterback Joe Licata must be replaced, but the Bulls should be solid on defense and have promising pieces – quarterback Tyree Jackson and running back Jordan Johnson – to build around on offense.

His 18-year record as head coach at Bloomsburg stands at 141-162-32 and he is the all-time leader in school history in career victories. During his tenure as head coach, Payne has led the Huskies to seven Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoff berths, PSAC Championship appearances in 2011 and 2014, an NCAA playoff berth in 2014, and four Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-Americans in Bryce Shaffer (twice; 2011 and 2012) and Josh Smith (twice; 2015 and 2016) as well as 2014 Daktronics All-American Matt Zima. All told, Payne has coached 34 All-PSAC honorees, 21 All-Region selections, and two PSAC East Freshmen of the Year.

Four Huskies were named All-Conference while Austin Transue and Matt Zima earned All-Region accolades from two different organizations. Nick Izzo also earned All-Region honors from the Division II Conference Commissioners Association. Bloomsburg had a season for the school record books in 2014 as the team tied the then-record for wins in a season by posting a 13-6-2 overall record including a 9-2-0 mark in PSAC play. It was a young Huskies team that featured 13 freshmen but allowed only 16 goals during the regular season and earned the number two seed in the PSAC Tournament. The Huskies advanced to the PSAC Championship and ultimately earned just the second NCAA Division II playoff berth in school history and first since 1978.
Four Huskies were named All-PSAC and defender Matt Zima was honored as the first Daktronics All-American in Huskies history, taking honorable mention honors. Payne was named PSAC Coach of the Year for the second time and also was honored with the NSCAA Excellence in Coaching Education award.

Payne's teams received the National Soccer Coaches Association of American (NSCAA) Team Academic Award in consecutive academic years - 2011-12 and 2012-13 - marking the first time in program history that the team was honored with the distinction.
In 2012, Payne and the Huskies won their final two games to secure a winning season. Payne won his 100th career game at Bloomsburg on October 6, 2012 in a 3-2 victory over Lock Haven.
He also guided a pair of All-PSAC performers in Shaffer and Fran Miller. In 2011, Payne led Bloomsburg to a 7-9-2 overall record and a PSAC playoff appearance, their second in three years. He guided the Huskies all the way to the PSAC Championship game, their third in school history and first since 1996.
Shaffer was named Capital One/CoSIDA Academic All-America, NSCAA All-Atlantic region second team, second team NSCAA Academic All-East College Division (comprised of four national regions for Divisions II/III), and All-PSAC second team. In 2009, Payne guided the Huskies to a record of 10-6-2 and a berth in the PSAC playoffs. He was named the PSAC East Coach of the Year for his efforts.
Also, for the second straight season, he coached the PSAC Freshman of the Year. While coaching at the University of Scranton, Payne guided the Royals to a record of 40-36-4 and four Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC) playoff berths. He was named the 1997 MAC Coach of the Year after leading Scranton to the MAC Freedom League championship. A standout collegiate player at Kutztown University, Payne immediately moved into the coaching ranks upon his graduation. He was head coach at both Conestoga and Wallenpaupack high schools before becoming an assistant coach with the University of Scranton men's and women's teams.
In 1995, he was named head coach of the Royals' men's team and coached there until taking over at Bloomsburg in 1999.
