Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA)-(NCAA Division III)
Overview: Despite having six of its' seven squads finishing the 2022 season with a .500 or better overall record, the race for the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) title came down to two teams whose names started with the letters "A" and "L", on the final day of the regular season.
Those teams were the Albion College Britons and the Alma College Scots, respectively, in a showdown game between two then-unbeaten teams at 9-0 that was played on November 12.

After a close contest that was played tightly from start to finish, it was the homestanding Scots that stood alone on top of the MIAA, beating the Britons, 34-31. While Alma finished the regular season undefeated at 6-0 in conference play and 10-0 overall, Albion's season ended in heartbreaking fashion, at 5-1 in MIAA action, as well at 9-1 overall.
In the NCAA Division III playoffs, Alma continued to make history, with the Scots shutting down Mount St. Joseph, 41-21, in the first round, for their first-ever playoff win. However, their season ended in the second round, as Aurora defeated and eliminated Alma, 48-26, to finish at 11-1 overall.
Looking ahead to 2023, don't be surprised if the battle for the MIAA title once again comes to Albion and Alma, with Albion hosting the regular-season finale on November 11 (Veterans Day). But if Albion hopes to win an unprecedented 39th conference championship in its' program's illustrious history, the Britons must do it under a new head coach in Travis Rundle. Rundle replaced Dustin Beurer, who resigned after four seasons to take the head coaching job at NCAA Division II Northwood University in Midland, Michigan.
