Quote from: USee on Today at 11:57:02 AMI generally like the new NPI system as it takes away some of the variance due to subjectivity of different committee's year over year. That said I think the biggest drawback is the lack of mechanism to reward top teams with higher seeds. I'm ok with Mt Union as a 1 seed and NCC as a 2 seed (though common result would argue that) but NCC at a 5 seed is totally ridiculous.

Let's see what happens when North Central runs through the field untouched as a #5 seed.

WashU is not a lock yet for the Isthmus bowl. Augie is the other team still in that race.

The 2 games this week that have the potential for being close are IWU @ Augie and Carthage @ NPU.

What if Wesleyan beats Augie and Augie beats WashU? I have not played that scenario out yet.

Kudos to Carthage this year. Much improved team.

In that scenario assuming both WashU and Augie finish 7-3 it comes down to tiebreaker. Augie would have the head to head win. Not 100% sure on the tiebreaker rules.

IWU, WashU and Augie would all finish with 3 conference losses in that scenario. IWU would have a 4th loss to Central in non-conf play. I don't know the tie breaker. I believe the WIAC had to figure this out at one point in the last couple years.

Here are tiebreaker rules. Now I got to sit down and map this out with this scenario

At least I'm assuming these are the rules.

So head to head.
IWU beats Augie
Augie beats WashU
WashU beats IWU

I think this scenario could come down to point differential between tied teams.

Other scenarios:

WashU wins out and they take 3rd place.

Augie beats IWU, that takes IWU out (still play NCC) and WashU @ Augie last week of season would be for Isthmus.

If IWU wins this week, Carroll could play spoiler next week @IWU.
