The listed losses for Mankato are incorrect, but this does give a good picture of where things are for SR4. My crystal ball says that Colorado Mines will be the only RMAC team and all three of the LSC teams listed will make the playoffs. That leaves 3 spots for the NSIC. I think any NSIC team with 2 losses will be in, but that will be a tough ask with the remaining schedules. USF has the cushion of only 1 loss so far. Bemidji has the easiest schedule with Northern providing the toughest game. I think those 2 will be in. The final spot comes down to Augie, Mankato, Wayne, and Winona. If I had to guess, I would probably pick Augie to make it, but Mankato has been playing really well lately also. Wayne has 2 very winnable games, but has to play at USF yet. I would say Winona is a long shot, but I also didn't think they could beat USF. If they can knock off Augie and Mankato they will be deserving of a playoff spot. Meanwhile, Wolves fans are still left cursing another loss to Mary...
