GLIAC Football Preview Notes - Week 9

BAY CITY, Mich. - Week #9 of the 2012 college football season finds the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) with four teams ranked in the NCAA Division II Super Region #4 poll of 2012.

Super Region #4 consists of the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC), the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), the Lone Star Conference (LSC) and the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC). The top six teams in the final regional poll will make the NCAA Division II Playoffs.

Ashland University is #2 in the poll, followed by Hillsdale College at #6, Saginaw Valley State University at #7, and Wayne State University at #9.

Ashland will put its perfect record on the line (8-0, 7-0) when the Eagles host the University of Findlay (5-2, 5-2) on Saturday in a 1:00 p.m. tilt.  Ashland downed Malone University, 31-7, last weekend, while the Oilers defeated Lake Erie College, 41-17, on the road.  The Eagles could wrap up  the South Division title and claim a share of the GLIAC crown with a win on Saturday.

Hillsdale College (6-1, 6-2) is coming off a home win over then 15th-ranked Saginaw Valley State University last Saturday. This week the Chargers will host Grand Valley State University (6-2, 5-2) on Saturday at 1:30 p.m. with first place in the North Division at stake.  GVSU picked up a 42-28 home win over Northwood University last weekend.

Saginaw Valley State (6-2, 5-2) will look to rebound from the Hillsdale loss by hosting Michigan Technological University on Saturday in a 1:00 p.m. clash. The Cardinals are still looking for a share of the North Division title.

Wayne State University (5-2, 5-2) is also still in the hunt for the North Division crown. The Warriors earned a 38-31 home win over Northern Michigan University last Saturday. Wayne State will welcome Ferris State University on Saturday in a 12:00 p.m. contest.
