So, being ever the optimist and looking at where Bethel is situated in the NPI Standings at #33 this week, if they could move up to #32 because of how the last week shakes out, would that give them a home game for the first round of games? And if so, which of the 8 teams ranked lower than they would be coming to town?

I'm guessing Wartburg at this point.

If they don't move up and have to travel, perhaps they would go to Hope or Mount St. Joseph? Gonna be an interesting upcoming weekend, that's for sure.

Bethel hosting Wartburg, winner travels to Platteville. SJU first round bye and will host Chapman or Lake Forest in round 2.

I'd be ok with that for St John's! An extra week to get healthier and work on things that need addressed. Assuming we can get by Chapman or Lake Forest, hopefully not looking past whoever we'd face, the path will get drastically harder no doubt. I'd take some Johnnie Magic to give us the clearest path to the Stagg! LOL!

In this part of the country, I don't know that 32 is automatically going to get a first-round home game, although they certainly should.

500 miles from the Cities gets you to about Illinois Wesleyan but no further to that direction. Both Hope and MSJ are too far. Perhaps the NACC runner-up comes to Bethel (or vice versa).

I'm guessing that the hosting school of this past Saturday's football games in the MIAC are responsible in some way for the games to be pushed out to the "Network" page for folks to review - as Carleton has not posted it yet, but Gustavus and Hamline have posted theirs. Anybody know for certain when folks can watch this past Saturday's game?

Does anyone know who is providing the video feed for the SJU / Olaf game at TC0? I haven't decided if I'm going.  I've already been there a couple times for high school games and $20 seems a little steep for a game that shouldn't be very competitive...and I can enjoy a warm beverage in front of my TV at home.

I think it was subcontracted out to the CSS AV department?

Dang! Then we need to accelerate that GoFundMe for a lens that zooms.

My guess is St. Olaf since we are the home team. I just can't remember when we've done the production off campus for athletics.

What's strange is that the on the SJU schedule the "watch" link takes you to the SJU broadcast page.

Given it's the Oles, there's always a chance they will skip the game and live stream a choir rehearsal.

Johnnies and the Gusties got players on the Team of the Week.

Some soccer news (the other football):

SJU and St. Olaf faced off in the MIAC championship game last Saturday, which STO won on penalty kicks.

STO head into the postseason as one of only two unbeaten teams in the nation (out of more than 400 teams in D3 soccer).

SJU earned its first playoff berth since 2005 and first home playoff game since 1989 following a season that set program records for both goals (75; previous record was 57) and wins (17). Many of SJU's key players are freshman and sophomores, so it bodes well for continued success.

Both SJU and STO will host the first rounds of the NCAA playoffs this Saturday. SJU plays Milwaukee School of Engineering and St. Olaf plays Grinnell.
