RMC-Springfield vs. Northern Illinois
McKendree University vs. Western Illinois
Illinois State Redbirds vs. SIUE-Gold
Bradley University vs. University of Iowa-Black
Eastern Illinois vs. University of Iowa

I see five sweeps:
NIU (much improved)
McKendree (sorry to say)
Redbirds (continuing their climb up the MACHA ladder)
Bradley (things are rough at Iowa JV)
Iowa (EIU is in disarray - maybe their old coach was their most valuable asset - Carmen?)

I think the assesment of EIU in Disarray is a little over the top.

They have some good talent, they have a former player behind the bench now and they are moving in the right direction. It is similar to RMC- Springfield Shannon was a good guy but the program wasnt were it needed to be so they now have Coach Soady and I think all that have played them have said they are cleaning up their act and playing hockey now. WIU has gone a different direction coaching wise and it is not a overnight change. I think they were on the verge of making or made playoffs last season, this year they are struggling a bit early but wait and see what they do from here on out. Changes happen for a reason and unfortunatly the position of Head Coach ecspecially at schools that have no funding and are strictly volunteer positions tends to be a revolving door to an extent. The coach can't fcus on hockey and team first if they have to worry about work, family, finances (in todays economy) and then team. Just my little FYI.

NIU sweep over RMC-S (although i could see Springfield sneaking a win out)
McKendree sweep
ISU-Redbirds SIUE (split i think they are two close games with each team walking away with a close win.)
Bradley Sweep
Iowa sweep over Eastern (although Eastern is a better team then people think)

RMC-Springfield vs. Northern Illinois
McKendree University vs. Western Illinois
Illinois State Redbirds vs. SIUE-Gold
Bradley University vs. University of Iowa-Black
Eastern Illinois vs. University of Iowa

RMC-Springfield sweeps NIU (RMC can squeak 2 out)
McKendree sweeps WIU (I think it will be 2 close games)
SIUE sweeps ISU (first game close, second little more comfortable win: SIUE has only played 1 game)
Bradley splits with Iowa-Black (Bradley doesn't look the same as last year)
Iowa sweeps EIU (first game blowout, second game close)
