Quote from: Captain_Joe08 on March 01, 2026, 09:18:47 PMWLC in the mock bracket is possibly facing St. Mary's (MN) at Oshkosh.

And that's the Matchup in the actual bracket at Oshkosh.

I give Keystone credit for stepping up. Tough to schedule games as an independent especially later on in the season. I hope they get back into the Landmark (which I assume is making sure that Keystone is on solid financial ground before doing such) or any other conference in the near future.

WLC in the mock bracket is possibly facing St. Mary's (MN) at Oshkosh.

WLC clinches another Tournament Title with a 48-29 win over St. Norbert in the Final.

Lakeland plays their way in with a win over CUC today.

WLC takes the league crown outright while St. Norbert takes the 2.

WLC probably needs to win 2 games in the Tournament just to better their at large chances to the point where they won't be sweating it out if they lose in the Final.

What's in store for tomorrow:

WLC can clinch the NACC outright with a win or a St. Norbert loss.

St. Norbert can take the top seed with a win and a WLC loss (H2H tiebreaker)

Aurora can clinch the 2 seed with a win and a St. Norbert loss (H2H tiebreaker)

Edgewood could clinch the 6 seed with a win.

Lakeland needs to beat CUC and hope the tiebreakers point their way.

CUW could end up with the 6 seed with an Edgewood loss possibly, 7 seed if EC wins and CUC loses or the 8 seed if EC wins and CUC wins (CUC H2H tiebreaker over CUW).

WLC holds the inside line to the 1 seed. Can clinch at least a share with a win on Wednesday or a St. Norbert loss. An outright clinch could happen Wednesday if the Warriors win and a Green Knights loss.

Three teams still fighting for the last two spots.

Aurora 30
St. Norbert 20

If Aurora holds here, it gives WLC sole possession of 1st place in the league.
