Posted: Thu Nov 16, 2023 2:04 pm
MVFC Games (all games on ESPN+)
1 PM - Illinois State (6-4) at #13 North Dakota (6-4)
1 PM - Indiana State (1-9) at #16 Southern Illinois (6-4)
1 PM - #25 Youngstown State (6-4) at Murray State (2-8)
1 PM - #5 South Dakota (8-2) at Western Illinois (0-10)
2 PM - Missouri State (4-6) at #1 South Dakota State (10-0)
4 PM - #9 North Dakota State (7-3) at #22 Northern Iowa (6-4)
Playoff Picture for the MVFC:
South Dakota State and South Dakota - locked in regardless of this weekend's outcome
North Dakota State - probably in regardless of this weekend's game
Northern Iowa - if they beat NDSU, they're probably in, lose and they're out
Illinois State and North Dakota - winner is probably in, loser stays home
Youngstown State - win and they're probably in
Southern Illinois - win and they're probably in
Missouri State, Murray State, Indiana State, Western Illinois - out
Theoretically could be as many as seven or as few as probably four, depending on how things play out. If predicted outcome is correct, should be six MVFC teams in the playoffs this year.
