SCHEDULES (in order of conference place currently)
#1 UNI (7-0, 3-0)
Oct 27 - vs. Youngstown St, 4:05 PM
Nov 3 - at Missouri State, 2:00 PM
Nov 10 - vs. Indiana State, 6:05 PM
Nov 17 - vs. Southern Utah, 6:05 PM
UNI is clearly in the driver's seat in the GFC and could solidify a playoff spot with a victory over YSU this weekend. The win would propel UNI to 8 wins on the season, which was last reached in 2005, and would give them a garunteed winning record in the GFC. The win would knock YSU to 2-3 in the conference and UNI would clinch a least a top two finish in the conference (due to head to heads) A UNI win this weekend, plus a UNI victory over either MSU and ISU, would clinch the conference title outright and automatic birth.
#9 SIU (7-1, 3-1)
Oct 27 - Open
Nov 3 - at Western Ill, 2:05 PM
Nov 10 - vs. Illinois State, 2:30 PM
Nov 17 - at Hampton, 1:00 PM
All signs lead to SIU going 10-1 and not getting a seed or the automatic birth in the playoffs. A bye week this week to recover from the hard grind of the Conference race will freshen them up to go to Macomb and dismantle the WIU team that could only muster 3 points against UNI. A tough road game at Hampton could be a trap game to end the season for the Salukis. I project SIU to go 9-2 on year and be a road team in the playoffs.
#17 Western Illinois (5-3, 2-1)
Oct 27 - at Illinois State, 2:30 PM
Nov 3 - vs. Southern Ill, 2:05 PM
Nov 10 - at Youngstown St, 1:00 PM
After a embarassing loss at home to the top ranked Panthers, WIU is looking for answers. A tough game at ISU, and their schedule is probably the toughest left in the conference with ISU, SIU, and YSU...the 'Necks, just wont have enough gusto to finish out strong. look for WIU to finish 2-4 in the conference and 5-6 on the year after starting out so hot.
Illinois State (4-4, 2-2)
Oct 27 - vs. Western Ill, 2:30 PM
Nov 3 - at North Dakota St, 7:00 PM
Nov 10 - at Southern Ill, 2:30 PM
A tough schedule as well for the Redbirds but a gutsy win against WIU this weekend and 3rd place in the conference is theirs. I can't forsee ISU beating NDSU or SIU on the road and ISU will finish as well 5-6, but 3-3 in the conference.
#12 YSU (5-3, 1-2)
Oct 27 - at Northern Iowa, 4:05 PM
Nov 3 - at Indiana State, 12:00 PM
Nov 10 - vs. Western Ill, 1:00 PM
It has been an up and down season for the Ice Castle Heroes. A shaky offense and a questionable defense can never spell Good when playing in the might Gateway. A tough road loss this weekend to UNI may be the final straw for YSU after losing to Ill. State last weekend. Victories over Ind. State and WIU just doesn't cut the cake in the end. 6-5, 3-3 is where these Birds will finish.
Missouri State (4-4, 1-3)
Oct 27 - vs. Indiana State, 2:30 PM
Nov 3 - vs. Northern Iowa, 2:00 PM
Nov 10 - vs. SE Missouri St, 8:00 PM
MSU is an interesting case. TA has a very high powered offense but the defense is very low-powered and actually quite pathetic.
A victory over Ind. State would put them at 5-4, 2-3 going into the big conference finale against UNI who should be 9-0, 4-0. MSU could suprise the Panthers if the Panthers look ahead to knowing that a victory over Ind. State would garuntee them a Title. MSU is UNIs trap game this season.
If MSU can figure out how to stop the RUN and the PASS of UNI, they should be able to secure the Upset. But at this point I can't see them stopping all of UNIs attacking, and the Bears will finish 6-5, 2-4.
Indiana State (0-8,0-3)
Oct 27 - at Missouri State, 2:30 PM
Nov 3 - vs. Youngstown St, 12:00 PM
Nov 10 - at Northern Iowa, 6:05 PM
Just one long season for the Sycamores...hopefully the Trees can rebuild for next season and come out and suprise some people, but 2007 is not the year. 0-12 sorry Trees.
FINAL PROJECTED STATS
1. UNI 11-0, (6-0)
2. SIU 9-2 (5-1)
3a. Ill State 5-6, (3-3)
3b. YSU 6-5 (3-3)
5a. WIU 5-6 (2-4)
5b. MSU 6-5 (2-4)
7. Ind. State 0-11, (0-6)
Was just looking at the outcomes that could happen...nothing more nothing less...YSU is this week...then we'll worry bout everything else...just fun to see what could be. (and should be).
Thoughts?
