Both Wheaton and NCC NPI's increased, NCC's increased a little over 3 points.
Wheaton still #2.
NCC #19, at-large bid #6. Expect NCC's NPI to end up higher.

Istmus Bowl race. IWU still front runner.

Conference record and remaining schedule.

NCC        4-1  Carthage, @Millikin, IWU
IWU        4-2  bye, NPU, @NCC
Augie      3-2  Wheaton,Carthage, @CU
Carroll    3-3 @NPU, bye, Augie
Carthage 2-3 @NCC, @Augie, Wheaton

I think if Augie loses to Wheaton and IWU beats NPU in 2 weeks, IWU clinches the Isthmus. IWU has beaten Augie and Carroll so should own the tie breaker if either Augie or Carroll end up 5-3 in conference.

If IWU loses their last 2 games to go 4-4 in conference then that leaves an opening for other teams to go to the Isthmus.

If IWU upsets NCC and wins their last 2 games both NCC and IWU would finish with the same conference record, 6-2. IWU would own the tie breaker. NCC would still have a chance for the playoffs but looks like IWU goes to the Isthmus Bowl in this scenario.

WIAC still has a bunch of possibilities.
