Commerce schedule

Same, figured everyone was scared to play Commerce with what's been said on here.

This one came down to whether Commerce was going to play Bowie State or Virginia Union. I believe this is a one game series. Really excited for this matchup.

Bowie State.

Bowie State has been a pretty good team in the CIAA over the past few seasons, as best as I can recall. I'm actually looking forward to making the trip to Commerce to see that game.

So much for SOS issues lol Tim McMurray strikes again! He does an incredible job across the board.

If I was a guessing man, I'd guess we won't end up with an empty week on the schedule.

The CIAA still has two top teams who needs games on week 3

SOS is a difficult thing to even bring up with that weak schedule TAMC has.

8-1 would/should be the 4 seed.

Adding the NAIA adds nothing for the playoffs. Depends on who the RMAC team's losses are against. Silo scheduling doesn't impact anyone but the NSIC. Commerce hosts if they finish 8-1.

I wouldn't necessarily call the NSIC's scheduling scheme a "silo schedule" - at least not in comparison to the MIAA and GAC. Teams in the NSIC have seven divisional games and four crossover - inter-divisional games and teams aren't facing the same inter-divisional opponents. So at least there's some (albeit limited) differences in SOS, it's still exclusively in-conference scheduling for the NSIC. That said, with St. Cloud and Crookston both dropping football and leaving 14 teams left (soon to be 13 if/when Augustana leaves for D1), that attitude will likely change as NSIC teams will likely have to schedule OOC games.

[ctrabs74]

Right, but what are the odds of there being 3 or 4 other undefeated teams?

Slim to none, considering there's a strong probability that the RMAC and the NSIC will likely only have one undefeated team each coming out of those conferences (though there's the possibility of both divisional winners in the NSIC finishing 11-0). Three other teams besides an undefeated TAMU-C are probable; four is highly doubtful.
