Wheaton Mt Union moved up to noon central time.

Pat worked his magic. 💪
Question for Pat or anybody else. 
Is this a bigger week for the CCIW or the MIAC?  Who has more to lose and who has more to gain with the outcomes this weekend?

Probably the MIAC has most to gain as far as getting to the top of the polls. From a playoff standpoint we are talking about NCC, Wheaton, Bethel and St. John's, they are making the playoffs at 10-0 or 9-1. So it comes down to do you think they can make it at 8-2 or do you think they'll do worse? In other words the losers Saturday I believe still have a good chance for the playoffs.

Pat was at the Millikin @ Olivet game yesterday and got some interviews.

There are 2 or 3 (can't recall) less at large bids this year.  Logan posted that both Wheaton and St. John's will not make the playoffs at 8-2 this season. 

No idea if going 8-2 and missing the playoffs would also apply to the loser of the NCC/Bethel game.

Yes too early to tell. When they start posting NPI, we can see who is in the hunt and what games are left. I'll tell you one thing even if NCC goes 10-0 their best win from a NPI standpoint will be Wartburg on the road. They win that game I think they're good. We'll see.

I'm not on X anymore so couldn't read all Logan's post looks like he has percentages of making it. One thing the CCIW has different this year is with WashU gone all these other teams that lost to them every year now have an opportunity to pick up an extra win. I'm assuming some will...there may be better records in the middle of the pack.

NCC-Bethel game time moved to 11am.

NCC-Bethel game time moved to 11am.

are Mount and Wheaton going to be kicking off at 8AM at this rate?

[CarollFan]

I went to Logan's site. He has season simulation with projected records and NPI. May be using these projected NPI's to determine playoffs.

If you look at 3rd through 6th place he has:

                  W.  L
IWU       6.8 3.2
Augie.    5.8 4.2
Carroll    4.6 5.4 
Carthage. 3.6 6.4

So if the records are better what does that mean for his playoff projections?
The key is NCC and Wheaton want the rest of the conference to go 2-0 in non conference.
Because they all have at least 2 losses waiting for them in conference.

According to Logan, 8-2 Wheaton is a no go for playoffs (not sure how they figure that out already) and that would make the CCIW a one bid league again.

Wheaton would eat up the Isthmus Bowl bid in that scenario.

Hopefully CCIW gets 2 teams in an Augie or Wesleyan or Carroll in the Isthmus Bowl.

WashU joining the NCAC actually makes that a potential 3 bid league.

Let's keep the Logan receipts. So if 3rd place goes 8-2 or 7-3 and 4rth place goes 7-3 maybe different story, we'll see.

WashU joining the NCAC actually makes that a potential 3 bid league.

So I'm guessing the 3 teams are DePauw, John Carroll and WashU.
WashU has a non conference game against 1-9 Rhodes so that's not going to be used in their NPI calculation. Logan in his season simulation has 6 teams in the conference going under .500. 8-2 playoffs?
If 2 losses are in conference for WashU, 4 of the wins used are going to be against sub .500 teams according to his simulation.
