FB: College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin

[USee]

Everyone has an opinion. Logan often states his opinion and then tries to persuade us its his "objective" quant model. At a minimum, it definitely provides plenty of discussion material.

Taking the team names out of it, objectively, the "Little Brass Bell" game was #1 vs #2 and this week its #2 vs #4.

I know the last time we discussed game notes and 2 deep roster for IWU it caused some back and forth.

The last couple home games the game notes had #11 Kyle Beaty listed #1 QB.

This weeks game notes have #2 Dermot Smyth listed #1 QB.

He played in their last game before the bye week.

If and when some combination of the Wheaton, North Central, UW-W, and UW-P play the defenses will make the earth shake and points will be hard to come by.  They are all outstanding on that side of the ball.

UW-RF might not be far behind.

CCIW week 10 scores:

#1 Wheaton 52 Elmhurst 0
#5 NCC 62  Millikin 12
IWU 59  NPU 20 (This win should clinch the Isthmus Bowl. Could end up tied with Augie in conference but beat them head to head.)
Augie 37  Carthage 0

Top 25 games:

#4 UWW 24  #2 UWP 21
#8 WashU 45  OWU 24
#10 Cortland 42 Brockport 24
#13 BW 27  Mount Union 21 (Mount Union eliminated from the playoffs.)
#25 Calvin 38   #9 Hope 24
UWL 41   #14 UWRF 30  (UWRF eliminated from the playoffs. They are in the hunt for the Isthmus Bowl)
#15 UMHB 42  ETBU 28
#17 DePauw 41 Wooster 28
#18 Trinity (TX) 16  Centre 13

Some bubble teams playoff chances just might improve after UWRF and UMU eliminated.

Still some games going on out west.
UWW moves to #1.
Looks like Cortland is going to move into #2 spot. Pretty close between #1 and #2.
With UWRF dropping out, Bethel holding on to last spot.

Need Whitewater to hold on to #1. Logan's site hasn't updated yet but Whitewater/Cortland are projected to finish within .04 NPI of one another so could go either way. If UWW finish #2 and Wheaton #3, it's very likely UWW, UWP, Wheaton and NCC all end up on the same half of the bracket.

Who is IWU going to play in the Isthmus Bowl?

To me, now it looks like UWRF.
How I got there.

4 teams in WIAC sit at 3-3 in conference. UWRF, UWS, UWEC, UWL.
Schedule the last week.
UWP @ UWL
UWW @ UWEC
UWSP @ UWRF
UWS @ UWO.

UWRF is going to win their last game. They've beaten UWS and UWEC so they hold the tie breaker over them. UWRF lost to UWL. If UWP beats UWL and UWRF wins then UWRF goes to Isthmus.

If UWL was to upset UWP, I'm not sure how it plays out because UWL beat UWRF but if UWS wins, UWS beat UWL but lost to UWRF. So I'll assume UWL loses to UWP.

I'm assuming UWEC loses to UWW.
