MAC Football 2020 All-Conference Team

The 2020 All-MAC team is led by Central Michigan with 12 selections, but Buffalo, Miami (Ohio), Western Michigan and Eastern Michigan can each claim 11. Every team in the conference placed at least five players and 10 of the league's 12 programs have eight or more selected to the 2020 All-MAC squad.

Athlon Sports has released its top 25 for 2020. Now, it’s time to take a look at the best of the best and honor the top players in the league with a release of first, second, third and fourth all-conference teams for 2020.

An important note on the all-conference teams: These are based on how players will perform in 2020. Career statistics and awards matter in the evaluation, but choosing players for the 2020 all-conference team is largely based on predicting and projecting the best for the upcoming year.
