One reasons is as you say, to see them get in the NCAA Tournament undefeated.
The second reason is that now the MAC will get two teams in (assuming Miami (OH) gets an at-large bid--taking spots away from better teams like Indiana, ASU, etc.
The MAC is a conference in which over half of the teams are not among the top 200 in the country and only two teams are even in the top 100 !
