So who ends up where, playoffs, MWB, other bowls etc.?

1. Northwest 10-1, 3 seed
2. Pitt 9-2, 7 seed. (I certainly hope so, but we are all likely 8-3...)
T3. UCO 8-3, MWB
T3. Fort Hays 8-3, Corsicana Bowl
T7. UNK 6-5
T7. ESU 6-5
T7. MW 6-5
T10. WU 4-7
T10. UCM 4-7
T10. LU 4-7
11. MSSU 1-10
12. NSU 0-11

The records you describe aren't possible. You only have 64 losses listed (and 65 if PSU does wind up at 8-3). The conference has 66 games, hence, 66 losses.

It'd be the Corsicana bowl as it s now an MIAA priority bowl

Texarkana Bowl could still select a team at-large but that's going to be iffy, then the CHAMPS Bowl could as well and that's doubtful; if it's Kearney like you're scenario that's a long way for either bowl to select Kearney - and any team at 6-5 aren't likely to be picked.

Fixed. Some games I saw going differently when I looked at them further down.

They don't go to 8 seeds

Re: MIAA postseason scenarios after week 8

If Pitt and NW win out, is there still a chance Pitt misses the playoffs?

When was the last time the MIAA didn't send two teams?

My guesses

Re: MIAA postseason scenarios after week 8

yes, but only if Harding or MO S&T gets selected over (not really but probable) and S Arkansas would need to beat Ouachita
that would leave the conferences with 9 or 10 teams at 9-2 or better; of course this also hinges on Ferris being eligible but it's still conceivable Ferris is ineligible and MIAA still not get 2 teams

Ferris 11-0, GVSU 10-1 or GVSU 9-2 and Saginaw 9-2
Indy 10-1, MO S&T 9-2
Ouachita 10-1 S Arkansas 10-1, Harding 9-2
NW MO 10-1, Pitt St. 9-2 or NW Mo, FHSU, Pitt all 9-2

If you're an MIAA fan it's pretty straight forward just cheer against Saginaw, MO S&T, and Harding to all lose at least one more. Likely to cause that Saginaw vs GVSU, MO S&T vs Truman, Harding vs SE OK
then
if you're a Pitt fan win out and NW Mo wins out; if you are an FHSU fan beat NW Mo

Re: MIAA postseason scenarios after week 8

So Pitt needs to win out, have saggy and hays lose again, and have Ferris get hit with penalties to get in.

Sounds easy.

In your scenario above: Hays would get that loss from NW so they would be out of the picture.

Saggy (lose and out in this scenario) vs GV (lose and in serious trouble) is still on tap in that scenario too.
Southern Arkansas vs Ouachita (Henderson to a lesser degree too) are in play.
If Ferris gets punishment before EOY they are out in most of the scenarios if I read the likely outcomes right.


...Still a lot of football left but basically looking like any 2 loss or less team should be in. Usually all of these "what ifs" straighten themselves out in the end. Only year it didn't in our region Sioux Falls got hosed.

The problem is going to be that I think as it stands right now, the GAC is going to get 3

Re: MIAA postseason scenarios after week 8

If Harding wins out, SAU gets one more loss, Pitt wins out and Hays beats NW it will be a huge mess.
