The WMU win over UIC last night cleared up the bottom half of the
standings quite a bit. Ferris has now taken #6. WMU only needs a tie
against Notre Dame to get 7th place.
 
But with the top half of the standings still a mess, and with the
possibility of UAF beating OSU and starting a chain of "right to
declines", the exact first round play-off pairings won't be known until
Wednesday morning.
