We may see a massive change in which teams are at the top/bottom of MVFC. We'll see how UNI/NDSU OOC games go, but also how things turn out in Carbondale.
The way this season is going, I think we could just flip the standings from last year and that's probably how this season will end. Not including ISU-Blue in that scenario of course.
Let's say we win 6 of our last 8 games and all 6 are MVFC wins. We finish 6-5 but with a 6-2 conference record and in first place alone. Who goes to the playoffs?

Pretty sure SDSU does and if this scenerio plays out, SDSU will be the only one from the MVFC, IMO.
Here are the selection rules for the playoffs for last year, but I am sure they are same this year except for the expansion part. Look on page 11 of the booklet. The conference champion goes regardless of their record. The way the guidelines read, the 7 wins is not an absolute rule for an at large bid, but I imagine when it says the chances will be jeopardized without seven wins, it is a rule for all practical purposes.
With a final record of 6-5 and 6 conference wins, we only get in with auto-bid. That scenario would have us ending the year losing at home to UND. That would kill all possibilities of an at-large bid regardless of rules.
