Week 10 Schedule
Arizona @ Florida St.
Idaho St. @ TX Southern
St. Peters @ Duquesne
Here's what we know: TX Southern is eliminated, and the Florida St./Arizona winner wins the group. The loser of that game doesn't necessarily clinch 2nd place. If St. Peters beats Duquesne, they clinch a top 3 spot and would be tied with the Florida St./Arizona loser. Based on point differential, they'd have a much better shot of wrestling the 2nd spot away from Florida St. However, if St. Peters doesn't win, then the Florida St./Arizona loser would get 2nd place, and St. Peters would drop to at least 3rd. Both Duquesne and Idaho St. must win to even have a chance at a wildcard spot. TX Southern can play spoiler against Idaho St., as odd as that sounds.
