Standings placement and playoff positions are at stake this week in NIRA action.

Here's what we see:

The power ratings take into account strength of schedule and overall offense and defense as well as wins and losses; this is because the teams don't play every other team in the division, so you need that. 

The key part now is the Power Rating and how close those ratings are. 

Army at Quinnipiac is the big one. Army can quite possibly overtake the Bobcats with a win and if they do that they almost certainly secure a semifinal spot. Meanwhile, Quinnipiac, with a win, can really close their paws around that #3 spot at the least. If Army loses and Brown wins (as expected) then Brown might be making a push for a semifinal spot. All of that would then set up Army at Brown in a week. 

Harvard vs Queens won't be easy for the Crimson and a Queen win could shake everything up. 

In D-II Davenport is the main challenger to AIC, but if they falter against West Chester, the Rams could vault into 2nd. These days, however, it's looking like a Davenport vs AIC final in November.
