Correction albinomascot, if Albion and Adrian lose Alma goes to the playoffs.  The first tiebreaker is head-to-head, the second is overall record.  So, if Albion loses and Adrian as well then there is a 3 way tie.  Each team will have beaten one another (alma over olivet, olivet over albion, and albion over alma) so it goes to overall record.  This all hinges on an alma win...hope is not going to the playoffs and adrian and albion aren't losing.

The only team that would have gotten in being in 2nd is Alm, had they not lost to K and only lost to Hope or Albion.  With regards to the playoffs the conference is in trouble, assuming the non-league performances are an indication of the leagues overall strength.  With this in mind Alma will go to the Stagg Bowl and pigs will fly.  This will be accompanied by hell freezing over and a female president.  Any other predictions???
GO SCOTS!!!

formerd3db:  I am an Alm,a grad and played on the '99 team...we beat Olivet at Olivet and went 8-1 that year.  The team that crushed us was Hope, which beat Alma 62-7 at Hope.  We went on to split the conference 3 ways with Hope and Albion.

I'm reading all of this and see no mention of Alma...aren't they the preseason favorite.  As an Alma grad with a brother that played at Adrian and another brother that plays at Albion I will go ahead and say Scots again.
Albion will drop one to either Olivet or Adrian, as they have consistently been doing in recent years.  K again is not a conteneder.  Olivet will lose a couple that they probably shouldn't.  Adrian will lose to K and Alma down the stretch.  And Hope goes down to Albion.  Nov. 5 will decide the conference and playoffs (Alma v Albion)  WLU and TriState are not to be considereed in legitimate championship selection.
