Last 2 games

Here is what is left

Standings and remaining opponents.

Indiana Wesleyan 13-3 Goshen @marian
Huntington 12-4 @usf Taylor
Marian 11-5 SAU IWU (should be tied with HU after home makeup game vs Goshen)
Bethel 11-5 @taylor Grace
Saint Francis 11-5 HU @goshen
Grace 8-8 MVNU @bethel
Spring Arbor 5-11 Marian @mvnu
Taylor 4-12 Bethel @hu
MVNU 3-13 Grace SAU
Goshen 2-14 @iwu USF


2 big games left:
Tuesday:
HU @usf - If USF wins this game, and Marian pulls of the upset, there could be a 4-way tie for second.
Saturday:
IWU @marian - Marian is a tough place to play - if Marian pulls off the upset, (and if HU beats USF) there could be a two-way tie for first.

Other games to watch.
Taylor faces Bethel and Huntington - probably two losses for Taylor. If MVNU can surprise Grace and Spring Arbor, they might find themselves in the conference tournament.
Grace @bethel - Bethel should win this Game at home - especially after thumping Grace by 40. However, when Grace is on, they can beat anyone

HU is at USF Tuesday and IWU at Marian Saturday. Everything else looks great. Should be an exciting last week. Thanks for updating this the last few weeks!

To this point none of the top five teams have lost to any of the bottom four teams this year. Don't know if that much disparity has ever occurred in the conference before. Grace is the only moderate in the mix having lost to a couple of bottom dwellers and knocked off a couple of the elite.

If Grace had played the first five conference games like they played the last 11, they might still be in the thick of things. While I am disappointed with where we are finishing, I have been pleased that Grace didn't give up after a disastrous start and are finishing strong.

Two home tournament games is one incentive to win the HU-USF matchup tonight. Not having to face Grace in the first round is another.

So let me know if I read this correctly. If IWU wins vs. Goshen tonight, they wrap up no worse than a share of the CL regular season championship, but they own the tiebreaker with Huntington (2-0 head to head) and would be the #1 seed in the CL tournament, and would receive the first CL automatic berth to Branson. Is that correct?

So with IWU's win over Goshen tonight, and USF's win over Huntington, IWU is the outright regular season CL champion, the #1 seed in the CL tournament, and gets the first CL berth to Branson. Congrats to the Wildcats!

Huntington lost to USF. Nobody can catch IWU now.

So if USF, HU and MU all win Saturday USF is 2 seed correct? Tiebreaker over MU winning both head to head and tiebreaker over HU because they split and USF beat IWU once.
