Interesting note heading into the Week 10 games. Home teams have won 37 games this fall in the NSIC, while visitors have won 35. Going into last week it was 32 all. Maybe this speaks to home field advantage not really being that big a thing in the conference. It could very well speak to the parity in the league in the middle of the standings.
