Saturday's showdown between No. 11-ranked Bethel and No. 22-ranked St. Thomas is anticipated to be one of the marquee matchups of the 2014 season. Not only have these two teams won the last four MIAC Championships, but both have been consecutively ranked in the D3football.com Top 25 poll since October 9, 2010. Bethel's No. 1-ranked defense in the MIAC will challenge the Tommie's No. 1-ranked offense Saturday at Royal Stadium with kickoff scheduled for 1:10 p.m.
