IF NPU deserves to be there in the end, they'll be there in the end. My guess is they will make an appearance next week if they take care of business this weekend.

Doubt it. Playing Wheaton will hurt their SOS.

I believe that Spalding is not a Central Region team. If they played anyone outside the SLIAC, like Augustana for example, it would not count as an in-region game.

Central Region Rankings Based on NCBWA Top 25

1. Augustana
2. Carthage
3. IWU
4. North Park
5. Coe
6. Buena Vista

I actually think thats pretty good, except for maybe moving Augustana down a few. They started out hot last year and faded but that doesnt mean it will happen again.

1. Buena Vista
2. St. Norbert
3. Webster
4. North Central (Ill.)
