Like all D3, all about finishing which is in short supply.

If you look at the Centennial Composite Schedule, it almost feels like a deliberate move on the part of the conference for schools to schedule strong opponents this coming Tuesday/Wednesday.  It's probably just a coincidence that every conference member is playing a team higher than them on the NPI rankings, but it's pretty clear the schedule was structured to allow for this late-season non-conference game and schools may have decided they would be better prepared to play a stronger non-conference team later rather than earlier.  If every Centennial team won their mid-week game and got an NPI boost, that might help push another team into an at-large spot.

Tues 10/13

Haverford @ Manhattanville
Salisbury @ Ursinus
Gettysburg @ Carnegie Mellon
Stevens @ Swarthmore

Wed 10/14

Dickinson v. Christopher Newport
Messiah @ Muhlenberg

Very true! IMO, the Muhls don't have a shot against Messiah, but the other 5 have a chance.

Interesting. I would say the only team that has a decent chance is Haverford.
