According to the D2 bylaws, you have to have a minimum of 10 games, with 8 of them being D2 games. So unless a waiver is acquired, schedule needs to be 10 games. I would assume at least one other game will be added to the 2023 schedule with the non-conference GLIAC opponent. I'm guessing they haven't figured that out yet.

Is it just me or does anyone else hate the focus D2 puts on “in region” games? If you beat a top 5 team nationally and they aren’t in your region, who cares? Maybe I don’t understand the rules/selection process well enough, but it still seems stupid to be like well Team X didn’t play as many teams in region as Team Y did, so guess that matters.

Especially in our region where one conference doesn't even play non-conference games, I don't think it's a big deal. I don't think UIndy at 11-0 who beat Wayne State and Northern Michigan and Michigan Tech is going to be ranked ahead of a GV that goes 11-0 while beating Mines and Pueblo and Assumption. It might have an impact if UIndy were to go 11-0 while beating Ferris and Saginaw and Davenport, though. Maybe that 11-0 in-region record would make it more valuable than GV's 8-0 in-region record.

I wrote a long thread on Twitter last fall about the "in-region" designation and why it's probably worse than you think:

GV surely isn't going to stick with 9 and have that be it. Every fan and alum would be livid to just skip the playoffs for some kind of stance.2021 D2Football Fantasy Champion

With 7 football teams in conference, wouldn’t 1 of the 7 not be able to double up a game? That might be Wayne St. The other 6 could still pair up to play twice. For example, last year, Ferris was the off team out and did not play any team twice. Hopefully that is not GV this year.

It's a stupid data point for football.
