Title Game Time
The Mid-America Conference championship is the second-longest running league title game after the SEC (the Big 12 ended its championship after 2010). This league's contest has taken place at Ford Field in Detroit since 2003, as the game was previously played at the school with the best record (1997-2002). The winners of the Eastern and Western divisions of the MAC meet in the title game, as Northern Illinois has played in the championship each of the last five years. Four different teams captured the MAC championship from 2014-17 as Toledo held off Akron in 2017 at Ford Field for its first conference title since 2004. However, Northern Illinois was back on top in 2018, edging a 10-win Buffalo team with a 30-29 comeback victory. NIU now has the most MAC title game victories (four) among active members. They were able to erase a 22-10 halftime deficit to stun the Bulls in the end. Marshall participated in the first six MAC title games (including five at home), winning five times before exiting the conference to head to Conference USA. Central Michigan and Toledo currently own the second-most MAC titles for active league members with three, while Miami (Ohio) has claimed two conference championships.
