Welllll one of SNC's losses is to UWSP, 1-5 and 7th place in WIAC. I'll give you Benedictine being decent in their league but that was a pretty solid beatdown they gave the Knights. But bottom line, SNC is in win-and-you're-in position, and theirs is a better resume than Lakeland's with that win, so this analysis matters little.

Lake Forest... yikes. That's just a mistake. Winless Beloit and Carleton each came closest to notching their only W this year vs the Foresters. 8-1 is 8-1, but that's a squishy 8-1.

Curious as to how SNC has a better resume than Lakeland when they have the same records and have a common opponent that had very different results?  An SNC loss to BU 29-7 vs an LU win 57-21?

3 NACC guys confirmed in NFL camps! Exciting for them and for the league.  If anyone hears how Gibbons, Smith or Esiobu did, please update!

Anyone else see that Carroll U has a transfer who was a d2 all american at Florida Tech? Looks like he was a redshirt SR there in 2014? Was in a pro day 2x since?  Seems odd

Any thoughts after the NACC scrimmages? Heard WLC did well vs. Carroll the other night.  Also any predictions for Week One? The week one schedule is:

CUW @ Finlandia
WLC @ Trinity Int'l
Lakeland @ Carroll
MacMurray @ Rockford
AU @ Carthage
Ripon @ CUC
Benedictine @ Wheaton

Surprised Albion had 3 1st place votes. They are very well coached but replacing that many starters on O will be tough.

Tight margins for the top 5! Coaches poll will be out soon- feel like its gotta be

BU
LU
AU
CUW
WLC
RU
CUC

Any word on conference recruiting classes? Who's looking to return the most from last year?

Any word on Carroll's incoming class? What's everyone's thoughts of them as they transition from the MWC? 

Anyone doing their homework on the conference teams? Who's your favorite to win it all? Any predictions of the standings before the coaches poll?  Seems like Benedictine has the most coming back, though CUW Aurora and Lakeland have solid returning
groups.

With the exception of Lecas last year that looks to be the conference's only other player on the pre season list. Also considerably harder to make the list now since it used to be 4 teams and has narrowed to 2.

Heard CUW may be getting a good transfer RB from UWW. I'm sure Benny will get 1-2 transfers as well. 

No doubt, has to elevate the league in the eyes of outsiders!  Saw on the Lakeland website that senior to be Kezlow Smith had NFL scouts in to see him earlier this spring. https://lakeland.edu/lakeland-college-blog/nfl-scouts-visit-kezlow

WLC playing a state school!  Great to see the NACC stepping up and scheduling WIAC's.  Lakeland is doing the same.  LC's non conference schedule looks to be one of the tougher draws around (30-10 overall) :

9/5 @Carroll U (6-4)
9/19 Albion (9-1 playoff qualifier, top 25)
9/26 UW- Platteville (8-2, top 15)
10/1 CUW
10/8 @Adrian 7-3
10/15 @BenU
10/22 WLC
10/29 @ CUC
11/5 Aurora
11/12 @ Rockford
