# In 1958, the MAC (then MASCAC) established three leagues known as the University Division, Northern College Division and Southern College Division. From 1958 to 1969 there were champions from each division based on conference records. The conference did not break ties (and still does not) allowing for Co- and Tri-Champions in each division.

& Beginning in 1970, the University Division did not have formal league play and did not crown a champion. In 1972, the University Division dissolved to create the Northern Division and Southern Division. This lasted until 1982. In 1983, football shifted to one conference to play for a MAC title.

% From 1993 to 2000, the conference was split into two divisions called the Commonwealth League and Freedom League. The teams played teams from both divisions and the top team from each division was named Commonweath Leage Champions or Freedom League Champions. The team with the best combined record (MAC record) across the divisions was named the MAC Champion.
