Some interesting early season developments:
The top 3 pre-season RMAC teams (Western Colorado, Colorado Mines, and Western Colorado) are 1-2. Black Hills state is 3-0 but will probably not keep up that pace. There is a good chance that the RMAC champ will finish with 2 or even 3 losses and the second place team will most certainly have 3 losses. Based on that there could be an equally great chance that the RMAC only gets 1 team in the playoffs which would open the door for the LSC and the NSIC to get 3 teams in.
NSIC has 3 teams with 3-0 records and several teams with 2-1 records. With their silo schedule their SOS will remain even and a pretty strong chance that they will have at least 3 teams with 2 losses or less.
LSC has Angelo State and Kingsville at 3-0. WT, Midwestern State, and Central Washington at 2-1.LSC could also have the potential of the 3rd place team having 3 losses. A lot of that depends on how Kingsville builds on the WT win and how Midwestern performs. If WT beats Angelo then the LSC is chaos like the RMAC. If WT loses then they are in a world of hurt due to their likely bad non conference SOS numbers.
Good thing is the LSC will hold several head to head tiebreakers over the RMAC unless Pueblo and Midwestern state are tied for the last spot.
Going to be fun to watch...
