    MIAA 5-1 NW Missouri (4-1), Pitt (1-0)
    NSIC 2-1 Minn-Duluth (2-0), Minn St-Mankato (0-1)
    RMAC 1-0 CSU-Pueblo (1-0)
    LSC 1-0 Tx A&M Commerce (1-0)
    GSC 1-3 Valdosta (1-0), West Fl (0-1), Delta St (0-1), N Alabama (0-1)
    GLIAC 0-2 Grand Valley (0-1), Wayne St (0-1)
    MEC 0-1 Shepherd (0-1)
    CIAA 0-1 Winston Salem (0-1)
    SAC 0-1 Lenoir-Rhyne (0-1)
    GMAC 0-0
    GAC 0-0
    GLVC 0-0
    GNAC 0-0
    NE10 0-0
    SIAC 0-0
    PSAC 0-0

    A conference with a truly great team doesn't mean every team in that conference is great...but there are some here that WILL make that assumption. Usually the same people that make THAT assumption will make the opposite assumption as well...Every team in a conference that hasn't won a NC must be poorer than teams from the so called "power conferences."

    I would say that unless you happen to be a fan of NW Missouri or Minn Duluth, any fans claims that their program is GREAT are suspect.
    Please do not use logic with stats and information to back it up on this board. :bulgy-eyes::smile-big:

I also did this by how I think teams will fare in the playoffs if the playoffs weren't done by region. Sorry region 1, history has shown us that you typically fall flat in the semifinals with Sheperd being the only exception that comes to mind in the recent pass. Apologies Bloomsburg. 17 years ago doesn't count. Same to you CIAA.

        1. West Florida
        2. Harding
        3. Central Washington
        4. Texas A&M Commerce
        5. Minnesota State
        6. West Alabama
        7. Ferris State
        8. Fort Hays State
        9. Minnesota Duluth
        10. Central Missouri
        11. Indianapolis
        12. Grand Valley
        13. Ashland
        14. IUP
        15. Tuskegee
        16. West Georgia
        17. Pittsburg State
        18. Midwestern State
        19. Sheperd
        20. Assumption
        21. Northwest Missouri State
        22. Winona State
        23. Virginia State
        24. Arkansas Tech
        25. Ouachita Baptist
        No way Arkansas Tech is in top 25. Southern Arkansas should take their place. Harding at 2 is a stretch. Just my GAC perspective.

          Did they hurt your feelings that every one else besides the 12 folks at OBU knows who big brother is?

            CWU's website had a poll listed on their site. Here are the rankings:

            Street and Smith's Magazine Preseason DII Top 25 Poll
            1. West Florida (11-4)
            2. Indiana, Pa. (13-1)
            3. Minnesota State (13-1)
            4. Fort Hays State, Kan. (11-1)
            5. Grand Valley State, Mich. (8-3)
            6. Texas A&M Commerce (14-1)
            7. Indianapolis (11-1)
            8. Harding, Ark. (11-4)
            9. Northwest Missouri State, 9-3
            10. Midwestern State, Texas (10-1)
            11. Central Washington (11-1)
            12. Shepherd, W.V., 10-1
            13. Ashland, Ohio, 11-2
            14. Colorado State-Pueblo, 9-3
            15. Sioux Falls, 9-3
            16. West Georgia, 9-4
            17. Assumption, 11-2
            18. Central Missouri, 9-3
            19. Ferris State, Mich., 11-2
            20. West Alabama, 10-3
            21. Findlay, Ohio, 10-3
            22. Carson-Newman, Tenn., 8-3
            23. Virginia State, 10-1
            24. Edinboro, Pa., 7-4
            25. Colorado School of Mines, 7-4

            This seems a pretty decent one. It is hard to argue most of their top 25 though not being in it, although I'd say where teams are ranked could be argued. I think some of the top 10 are based off reputation, not what they did last year. Of course what they return and new additions are more important and if they lost key players from last year's teams to graduation like CWU did on defense.
