No real surprises, in my opinion. Feels like the most suspenseful thing will be how the bottom three finish. Feels like they could be in any order lol.

The AD at SVSU is a problem and has setback the football program for several years ahead. Was described as a “snake in the weeds” at MSU and his last place of employment totally scrubbed their media websites of his existence. Now at SVSU destroying a program that was on the rise. Fired Brady after taking 2nd in the league and finally beating GVSU. Not to mention they have played Ferris tougher than anyone over the last 4 years including an OT loss last year. From what I hear their first 2 candidates said no and they got their 3rd guy. Seems like if you are firing someone like Brady you would of had someone in mind ready to go. Instead the AD and administration dragged their feet while our roster all went into the portal. Inside sources tell me the talent level is lower than they can ever remember. It looks obvious that the other league coaches feel the same way as SVSU is picked in the 5th position and I wouldn’t be surprised if Northern Michigan beats them this year as they have a breakout season under their new head coach. Easily see the Cardinals going 4-7 or 3-8 this season. Fire the AD and start over in 3 years.

It's pretty sad that Wayne State, located in an area with some of the best football in the state, can't do better. The fact Roosevelt is voted ahead of them is an embarrassment. I don't expect them to be Ferris or Grand Valley level, but there is no reason they should be better than every other school in the conference.
