The top 10 (plus Kutztown) with matchups:
Shepherd - @ESU, State Game (IUP) (or @Mercyhurst)
Ashland - @Lake Erie, vs. KY Wesleyan
IUP - vs. Clarion, State Game (Shepherd) (or vs. Bloomsburg)
Assumption - @ St. A, vs. Post
Slippery Rock - vs. Edinboro, vs. Kutztown (or State Game vs. Shepherd)
Notre Dame - vs. UNC-P, @ A-B
Gannon - @Cal, vs. Ship
New Haven - vs. Franklin Pierce, @SCSU
Bentley - vs. AIC, @Pace
Concord - vs. A-B, @UNC-P
Kutztown - vs. WCU, @Rock
Shepherd, Ashland, IUP, and Assumption are all essentially locks. Assuming Week 10 results go as expected, the winner of the State Game will get the 1 seed, since Ashland has no more upward mobility. The loser could fall as far as 5th or 6th, but is still safe.
NDC is a lock if they avoid an upset against UNCP. They don't have far to move up or down.
Assuming Kutztown gets past WCU, the winner of Rock vs. Kutztown should get in. I think Rock has a good chance at jumping Assumption for the 3 seed if they win. If they lose, it's gonna be dicey... they will need Gannon to lose and maybe the NH/Bentley/Concord crew as well.
If Gannon wins out, they are in. Pace is not good but they will count as a win over .500 if Bentley beats them, so I suspect Bentley has the inside track of the remaining candidates.
Here's what I expect we will see if Rock beats Kutztown:- Winner of State Game
- Ashland
- Slippery Rock
- Assumption
- Loser of State Game
- Notre Dame
- Gannon if they win out, otherwise Bentley if they win out, otherwise best remaining of New Haven or Concord. Tiffin lurks if chaos reigns.
- Winner of State Game

Solid analysis, one question why would SRU need Gannon to lose. If both have 2 losses SRU lumped them up head to head.
There is an interesting subplot, where Gannon needs Charleston to beat either Wheeling or WV State for their week 1 win to count as a win >.500. If Charleston loses both, I could see a scenario where SRU stays ahead of Gannon if IUP loses the State Game.

True, good point. 5-7 aren't actually seeded. It'll be interesting to see where teams actually get placed. I think SR1 teams moving out of region probably depends on other regions more than it does SR1 since we don't have any real outliers; maybe we get Virginia Union moved into our quadrant.

In my mind, SRU will not lose to KU.
From an IUP fan perspective, I see no difference at this point in making the PO's as a 2,3,4,5,6, or 7 seed. It's so topsy-turvey this year, there isn't that much of an opponent-preference factor.
That's my (pseudo) analysis. I don't even pretend to understand this stuff.

Similar to Shepherd, I don't feel like SRU is as explosive on offense as in year's past. Kutztown's defense is absolutely capable of slowing them down and winning that game with their run game. As much as you think SRU won't lose, I kind of feel the other way about it and think the senior laden team Kutztown has might give them a bit of an edge. Not that anyone cares what we think...

That's a really good team. It wouldn't shock me at all if they'd win the region.

Its an odd year, someone else said that the top 5 teams have a legit chance to win the region. it might be the top 10, it comes down to injuries, game day coaching, weather, refs, all those, where the players heads are at any given day, great for fans. .

They looked bad in their loss to IUP. Looking back, their horrible pass efficiency killed them. IUP also rushed for 135 - against what was touted as a strong defense. Was it the weather - maybe but IUP passing was great. did they just have a bad game ? Maybe, the IUP defense has had their number the last two years. Would IUP win in a rematch ? 50/50 - could SRU win the region. Yes. The KU game will be interesting.

Kutztown's offense, Concord's defense, the NE10 teams i just don't see it. Gannon's defense has been lit up by both IUP and Rock. They all can win 1 game, but I don't think can do it for nearly a month.
