Mac to the MWC is official:

http://www.midwestconference.org/news/2013/4/24/GEN_0424133436.aspx


2 divisions with a schedule of 5 division opponents, 2 cross-division opponents and 2 non-con games.

Division winners will play last week for big to NCAA Tournament
Rest of conference will play cross-standings opponent to keep 10 game schedule.

Few thoughts...

* A long drive for Mac every week

* I like the second non-conference game, presuming the MWC teams don't get their ass kicked by another team each week

* It will be nice to have the title game again. That was fun.

Does everyone lose a game if they are not in the championship OR will there be an additional cross-over?

2 non-conference games
2 cross-over (interdivision) games
5 divisional games

Last week of the season --  Division versus Division match-ups  #1N vs #1S; #2N vs #2S; ...; #6N vs #6S.

The net impact is one fewer team in Pool B and more inter-conference games in that part of the country.

Seems like two teams could end up playing each other twice this way. Wonder how they will decide who is home for the last week? All north one year, all south the next?

I'm guessing that if you played your potential opponent earlier in the year, they'd flip the nearest teams.

That would be the easiest way to handle it. Then you would no before the season if you needs workers for a home game that week or need to budget for an away game.

I like the sound of that...better than finding a neutral site to host all 6 games on that last weekend.  Also, do we know yet if the cross-over/inter-divisional games are going to count in a teams conference record?  Or will your conference record just be the 5 teams from your own division?  It was just the 5 from your division in the old set-up but hadn't seen anything regarding that information for the new division format.

Enjoy Macalaster.  Can't hack in the MIAC, so you go running to the MWC.  Sad.  Very sad.

Not a large amount of success against the MWC teams they've played over the last 10 years either.

I talked to two sources and neither were 100%, but it sounds like...

* just the intra-division games will count for determining division champs

* could be a north/south thing for the last week. the league does that for hosting other championships with divisions - i.e. SNC hosting softball tournament this year because won the north

Any truth to reports that Beloit will bring in 25-30 guys this recruiting class?
