Northwest/CMSU Square Off

The Show-Me State and the MIAA conference will showcase the best game in Division II this weekend. Northwest Missouri State will host Central Missouri State for homecoming on Saturday. The contest will go a long way to decide the conference title and will have post-season implications as well. The Bearcats have the edge over the Mules in the Division II Top 25th with a 4th ranking to CMSU’s seat at the 6th spot. But in the Regional Rankings, which determine who will get into the playoffs, Central Missouri State is ranked first, and Northwest is second. The top four teams in the region will qualify for the post season. Both teams are 8-0 overall and 6-0 in conference play.
