2013 Final Standings
Looking back: The Albion College Britons (8-3 overall in 2013) cruised through Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) action undefeated, finishing league play at 6-0 to claim yet another conference championship: their 35th overall. Their run in the NCAA Division III playoffs was cut short in the first round, however, as North Central cruised to an easy 63-7 win, ending the Britons season.
Looking ahead: Albion looks to be the favorite to win their 36th MIAA title of all time going into 2014.
Predicted order of finish (2013 overall record in parentheses):
1. Albion (8-3): Barring any serious injuries or other issues, don't be surprised if the Britons win their 36th MIAA title.
2. Hope (7-3): With so many returning players, the Flying Dutch might have a say in who comes out on top in 2014.
3. Adrian (6-4): After advancing to the NCAA Division III playoffs in 2012, the Bulldogs struggled in 2013, finishing at 3-3 in MIAA play. They hope to win their second conference crown in three years by the end of 2014.
4. Kalamazoo (6-4): After finishing in a second-place tie with Hope at 4-2 in conference games last season, the Hornets hope to take the big step towards their first outright MIAA championship since 1961, when they finished unbeaten at 8-0.
5. Olivet (6-4): Despite finishing 2-4 in MIAA play--after starting 5-0 overall--the Comets responded with their best overall finish since 2007, when they finished 6-5 overall.
6. Trine (4-6): The Thunder hope to bounce back after a disappointing 1-5 finish in MIAA games last season. That fall from grace came after they compiled six straight winning seasons from 2007-2012.
7. Alma (1-9): A season-ending win over Trine will give the Scot faithful some cautious optimism heading into 2014.
