FB: Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

[OzJohnnie]

At least 7 at-large teams ranked higher in NPI than Bethel all have to lose at least one game in the next two weeks for BU to have a shot at the play-offs. Not gonna say never, but it doesn't bode well for the Royals this year.

I fed a bunch of data into Claude, gave some prompts (rather insightful prompts, if I do say so myself) and set off Opus 5.5 on max to create you a death watch.  Who knows if it's right, but here you go.  I'll update after each weekend to see who you need to die.

Games to watch

Nov. 7, Baldwin Wallace at Mount Union: cheer for BW.
Nov. 7, Heidelberg at Capital: cheer for Capital.
Nov. 14, CNU at Salisbury: cheer for CNU.
Nov. 14, Denison at John Carroll: cheer for Denison.

Every game: cheer against Eau Claire, Brockport, F&M, Ursinus, Case Western, Benedictine, Mary Hardin-Baylor, UW-River Falls, Merchant Marine and Trinity (Conn.).

Thanx, Oz! - But what a tangled web we weave? It's still close enough to Halloween, right?

I was surprised that there are 14 teams that can help you get your eight spots.  It's like having a bunch of outs after the flop in Texas hold 'em, and you'll see your outs drop as each week/card comes along.  The other thing you need to cheer for is that no conference champions are upset.  The model assumes the conferences finish with the champs they have.  A conference with an upset finish could put another team in front of you.
