With S33 about to get underway, I wanted to set the stage for what each of the 16 historic programs who have had the honor of competing in MACtion have achieved in the conference title game thus far. I'll include each team's record and win percentage in the game, as well as their most recent title victory and appearance. It should be noted there was no S28 MACtion, hence the 31 seasons of history.

Recap
Having now done this deep dive, I'm impressed by how much parity exists in our conference! An astonishing 11 different teams have been crowed MACtion champion, and every member except UMass (it's your time to shine mcx79!!!) has made the title game. Interestingly, the Toledo Rockets haven't made the title game in 20 seasons, despite being consistently dominant in the non-NDL world. Coach FootballKelly31 will have a great shot to change that this year, as he has the best overall team in the conference and led the Temple Owls to a title in S24.
I expect this season to be a very tight race, with a great mix of pre S29 veterans, S29-S32 regulars, and new faces to S33. Best of luck to everyone, and I look forward to watching the MACtion!!!!!!!!!!!
