The MIAA-HCAC challenge will continue through 2028. They will now use NPI to determine the matchups (and have an agreement to bring in an OAC team to even the numbers to 8-8). 2026 (and 2028) will be hosted by the HCAC.
Here are the games listed for week 3 (Sept 19) of the 2026 season with their final 2025 NPI ranking:
Hope (17) @ Hanover (26)
Alma (24) @ Baldwin Wallace (45)
Adrian (50) @ Mount St. Joseph (95)
Calvin (56) @ Franklin (121)
Trine (100) @ Bluffton (149)
Albion (162) @ Rose-Hulman (175)
Kalamazoo (155) @ Anderson (208)
Olivet (204) @ Manchester (235)
Seems like Albion and Kalamazoo are flipped. Maybe one of the correct matchups is already scheduled so they adjusted it?
