Who is the best home team & who is the best road team in the NAC?

In terms of in-conference only results since NAthCon conference play began in 2008:

Best home team:  Aurora and Lakeland have both gone 6-1 at home in-conference

Best road team:  Lakeland has gone 5-2 on the road in-conference.

Interesting! Thanks for the information!

I can see why AU & Lakeland are two of the toughest teams to play year in and year out!  There usually is valuable information within the numbers and those speak for themselves!

Good post and glad to have you on the board. 

IMHO LC has a home advantage because of the terrible facility they have. I was at last years AU game and the field was muddy, very little grass and looked like a junior high school facility in cow town USA.

AU is small but very loud. Usually a full house each game. The IWU game was very, very noisy.

BU could have a home field advantage but their crowds are very small for the size of their facility.

My Picks

AU

CUW

WLC

CUC

I am very much looking forward towards the show down of BU and CUC tomorrow. I think with BU having their homecoming and what happened last year is going to cause a great atmosphere  for tomorrow's game. I hope it is a good game from a fans standpoint. CUC has a lot to motivate them with how BU destroyed their Cinderella season last year and  ,you guys saying BU's RB is as good as CUC's , but faster. I think if the cougars D can hold BU's offense to limited points, CUC's offense is just to much for BU. Tomorrow is a big day to find out if CUC is the preseason hype myself and many others gave them... Wish all teams good luck tomorrow and hope to see a good game

BU 28   CUC 14    at the half

[RFMichigan]

Now with 13 min. to go in the 3rd quarter 28 BU  CUC 21. (And Bennie's video production is 1st rate.)

[RFMichigan]

CUC gets the ball back and scores with 9:00 to go in the 3rd quarter but donks the extra point. 28-27 BU.

[RFMichigan]

End of the 3rd quarter at Benedictine - BU - 28    CUC 27 w/ BU at the CUC 5.

[RFMichigan]

BU scores but misses XP. CUC then goes down, converts a 4th & 1 in their own territory, and goes down to score and tie it at 34 w/ 10 minutes to go.

[RFMichigan]

Crazy game in Lisle. CUC ties it at 41 w/ just over a minute to go, but BU driving w/ just under a minute. These defenses just are having a hard time stopping each other.

[RFMichigan]

Wow. Bennie just runs right downfield, and even though they only needed a field goal to win it, they keep passing down deep in CUC territory. Then the QB scores after getting chased from the pocket with 12 seconds to go.

Well the BU and CUC game was a great game and hats off to both teams. CUC's offense is not the problem for the 2-2 cougars. And it is no secret now , if you want to beat them all you have to do is pass. As a fan I don't know if it is because the secondary is that bad or the person calling the plays is putting them in bad situations. The way conference plays out should be very interesting. How did the other NAC games play out??
